Robin Waite, one of the UK’s leading small business coaches, has been named a finalist in the 2025 Allica Bank Great British Entrepreneur Awards, competing in the Maker & Creator Entrepreneur of the Year category.
Often described as “The Grammys of Entrepreneurship”, the awards highlight inspirational entrepreneurs from all corners of the UK. This year’s selection includes over 800 finalists, recognised for their bold innovation, tenacity, and meaningful contributions to business.
The grand awards evening will take place on Monday 17th November 2025 at Grosvenor House in London, bringing together more than 1,500 business owners, investors, and thought leaders to mark the occasion.
Robin founded Fearless Business with the aim of making running a small business as simple as possible. This is done through the company’s two signature business accelerators, providing accountability and first class business knowledge and experience.
Robin said: “We’re absolutely thrilled to be named a finalist. It’s an incredible honour to be recognised alongside some of the UK’s most exciting and ambitious businesses. This recognition is a huge testament to the hard work of our team and our mission to help small business owners to earn more money while working fewer hours.”
This year’s Great British Entrepreneur Awards finalists employ over 25,000 people across the UK, expect to create more than 9,000 new jobs over the next year, generate a combined turnover of £2.25 billion and represent an average business age of six years.
Past winners include the founders of BrewDog, Grenade, ClearScore, Zilch, and Unbiased, many of whom were recognised early in their entrepreneurial journey by the awards.
Frankie James, founder of the Great British Entrepreneur Awards, added: “We’re so proud to reveal this year’s shortlist, a truly remarkable group of founders who are changing lives and transforming industries. The quality of entries gets stronger every year, and it’s clear that the entrepreneurial spirit in the UK is more alive than ever.
“Many of our finalists go on to become household names, and we can’t wait to watch what this year’s cohort achieves next.”
