Great British Entrepreneur Finalist 2026
I've been named a finalist in the 2026 The Allica Bank Great British Entrepreneur Awards for the work we're doing at The Afghan Rug Shop Limited, in the Consumer Entrepreneur of the Year category. It's often called the Grammys of Entrepreneurship, and being shortlisted alongside some of the most ambitious founders in the UK genuinely means a lot.
The Great British Entrepreneur Awards is as much about the entrepreneur as it is the business, recognising the people behind the brand, the decisions, the late nights and the long game. So this one feels personal.
I wanted to say thank you. You are part of the reason I'm in a position to be recognised like this. Customers, partners, supporters, friends, every conversation, intro and bit of backing has added up to this.
If you'd like to follow along, the awards are in November, more to follow. I'll be sharing updates on LinkedIn and Instagram in the run up, and would love a like, comment or share when you see them, it genuinely helps.
Thanks again for being in our corner.
James - The Afghan Rug Shop Limited
