The Business Person of the Year category at the Norfolk Business Awards is open to entrants of all levels within the business community. The winner may be a business leader who has worked in the industry for many years or an entrepreneur who is accelerating their career with speed.
“It’s not necessarily about the individual’s skill set, but about how they’ve contributed to the growth of a business and the impact that this has had on the local community,” explains Joanne Price, senior manager at Norwich-based FRP Advisory and co-judge of the award.
“Whether they’re a highly experienced business owner or a young entrepreneur, they’re all navigating their own route to success and deserve to be recognised for their achievements.”
The winner will also be a role model for the next generation of business people, contributing to the growth of local economies.
“Local entrepreneurs and business leaders can be much more relatable to young people here in Norfolk and their achievements can help to drive the ambitions of others who want to replicate this success,” says Mrs Price. “This all makes a positive contribution to our local community and helps to retain talent in the region.”
Winning this award can also bring prestige to an individual’s or business’ reputation - providing the recognition that’s so deserved during the challenges of the pandemic.
“These awards also serve to acknowledge the hard work and commitment of the whole team behind a business’ success, whilst also being a sign of quality for both existing and new customers and suppliers,” says Mrs Price.


“People should enter to be recognised for the years of hard work and dedication that they have contributed to the business and local community here in Norfolk. But also, to share and promote the substantial impact they’ve made to the local and national economy – many are a force to be reckoned with and they deserve their time in the spotlight!”
