• The BT Business Essence of the Entrepreneur

    Throughout the summer, BT Business received hundreds of entries for the BT Business Essence of the Entrepreneur competition – an annual search looking for inspirational UK companies who are using technology to drive their business forward. The contest honours the nation's finest entrepreneurs and celebrates the achievements of small businesses that have demonstrated exceptional dedication and passion towards their work.

    The judges were hugely impressed with the entries and selected 20 winners. These winners were captured in an inspirational portrait that reflects the spirit of their business by Rankin, the renowned celebrity photographer. The resulting imagery was displayed in a high profile exhibition at London’s gallery@oxo in January and February 2010. Now you can see the pictures here online, on our gallery page.
