Sponsored by Sir
Stelios Haji-Ioannou and administered by Leonard Cheshire Disability, the
Stelios Award for Disabled Entrepreneurs in the UK seeks out and celebrates
business ability by recognising an exceptional disabled entrepreneur.
The competition is open
to disabled entrepreneurs on the management board, and with ownership, of any
business in the UK. Eligible businesses must have an annual turnover above
£10,000 and have been trading for between one and five years.
The Award carries a
prize of £50,000. This money is to be reinvested in the winner’s business. The
winner can spend this money however they like, for example they could:
- Buy a piece of new equipment
that would enable them to increase production capacity.
- Fund new staff costs to
expand a sales team.
- Embark upon an international
operation.
The 2012 Awards are
now open to applications.
The deadline for
entries is 5pm on Friday 26 October 2012.
