2020 finalists

No comments

The 2020 finalists for the Wales region are here!

We’ve had some big winners from Wales who have gone on to success at the national final in recent years, none more so than Hannah and Sophie Pycroft of Spectrum Collections who were named Great British Entrepreneur(s) of the Year in 2017.

The day has finally arrived!

The 2020 finalists for the Wales region are here!

With Team GBEA based in Cardiff, the Welsh regional final always holds a special place in our hearts. And while we can’t hold the event this year due to lockdown restrictions, we’re looking forward to welcoming each and every finalist from the Wales to our virtual final on 23rd September.

You can find out more about the virtual final and book your free tickets here.
