Searching for a Hertford Entrepreneur

Are you a Hertford Entrepreneur? Hertford Town Council is on the hunt for a new, local entrepreneur with a prize fund of £3,000 up for grabs to further invest in their business.

As a previous winner of Hertford Entrepreneur of the Year 2015, our very own MD Justine Perry is a firm advocate of the awards which serves to recognise local entrepreneurs who are making impressive waves in the development of their business. “Winning Hertford Entrepreneur 2015 was brilliant recognition not just personally but for the Cariad Marketing team as a whole who continue to work successfully with our clients to produce award-winning digital marketing campaigns for SMEs across Hertfordshire. If you’re a local entrepreneur I’d really encourage you to enter. Our prize fund was further invested into the Cariad team with upskilling training and development to help us with our future plans for growth”.

Hertford Entrepreneur of the Year 2016

The £3,000 prize has been funded by Cllr Andrew Stevenson’s County Council locality budget. In addition to the prize money, the Town Council have partnered with Axis Magazine and Hertfordshire Mercury who will both offer the winner an editorial write up.

Isabel Sigmac, the Chairman of Hertford Entrepreneurs said: “This award is the only one recognising entrepreneurs who are based in and around Hertford. Not only will we be celebrating those who are established but those silent ones who have the potential to make it big. I am really looking forward to discover what the applicants have to say about what makes them tick and how they achieve success”.
