Young Rural Entrepreneur Award in UK

By Becky McCray

Two UK companies are working together to award the Young Rural Entrepreneur of 2007. I love this!

Our Friends at the Business Opportunities Blog caught this story. The two companies are Lycetts (insurance) and The Field (magazine). The prize is £10,000. The age limit is 35. The focus is on rural businesses that are giving back to or sustaining the rural economy.

Most importantly the award will be a reflection of just how well this business interacts with and benefits rural economies and communities.

You can nominate a young rural UK entrepreneur, if they are too shy to nominate themselves. The deadline is August 12, 2007.

    It may interest you to know that Lycetts and the Field have just launched the award for 2008, again offering £10,000 to the winner, who can demonstrate the requisite entrepreneurial spirit by running a company that is either based in the countryside or is making a sustainable contribution to the rural economy.

    The award is open to rural entrepreneurs under 35. Entries will be welcomed till 4th August and nominations can be submitted by or on behalf of an individual who meets the awards criteria. For further information and to enter, please visit http://www.thefield.co.uk.
