Awards for unsung heroes

People who have triumphed against the odds to set up a small business are to be recognised in a unique Government-backed awards scheme sponsored by Barclays.

The Barclays Trading Places Awards - now in their second year - recognise men and women from all over the UK who have overcome various barriers and battled against adversity to change their lives by setting up in business.

The awards, supported by The Prince’s Trust, Business Link and Jobcentre Plus, will recognise sole traders and smaller businesses less than three years old who are still on the first rungs of the commercial ladder.

Entries will be judged on how individuals have overcome personal challenges and obstacles such as long-term unemployment, financial hurdles, physical disabilities, discrimination and personal tragedy to set up on their own.

This year’s awards have been endorsed by a host of celebrity entrepreneurs including Dame Anita Roddick, Sir Terence Conran, Simon Woodruffe, Bill Wyman and Lord Sainsbury.

The judging panel includes Ian King, Business Editor of The Sun, and senior representatives from The Prince’s Trust, Business Link and Jobcentre Plus. Also on the panel are special guest judges Michelle Mone, founder of Ultimo and MJM International, and John Bird, founder of the Big Issue.

The 10 national finalists will attend a gala awards dinner at London’s Cafe Royal on September 27, where the top business will be announced.

The Gold first prize is £5,000 cash from Barclays, £7,000 worth of directory advertising from Thomson Local Directories, plus £2,000 of consultancy from marketing communications agency Fox Murphy.

Nomination forms are available from 020 8673 2020 or at www.barclays.co.uk/tradingplaces
