Lynne Franks, Entrepreneur and Social Enterprise Ambassador
Having started my own company at the age of 21 and never looked back, I know the personal value that entrepreneurship can bring. What's more, through my work encouraging entrepreneurship amongst women through the SEED programme, I have also seen the difference it can make to society and our economy as a whole.
The Enterprising Britain competition is a great way of shining a spotlight on the best work going on around the country to make Britain a more enterprising place. As a competition judge, I'll be looking for examples of where enterprise has been key in regenerating a whole area, and has had a really positive impact on all aspects of the local community. I'm looking forward to seeing all the excellent examples out there.
