Why do you support the work of The Entrepreneurs Network?

Entrepreneurship matters. It is one of the most powerful engines of innovation, job creation, and societal progress. Founders and start-ups don’t just build businesses, they solve real-world problems, challenge conventions, and drive economic dynamism. For the UK to remain globally competitive, it must continue to be a place where entrepreneurs can thrive – where ambition is supported, innovation is celebrated, and barriers to growth are removed. That’s why I support the work of The Entrepreneurs Network – they play a vital role in amplifying the voice of the entrepreneurial community at the critical intersection of policy, business, and society. I’m proud to contribute to its mission and help shape a future where entrepreneurship is empowered to flourish.
