The Search - for the Merseyside Entrepreneur of the Year 
is proud to welcome the following organisations:-
“Encouraging entrepreneurs to take the leap and start their own business, and assisting fledgling businesses to develop further is at the heart of our organisation. Cultivating attitudes found in enterprising business environments contributes so much to strengthening the local economy which is why we are thrilled to be supporting this initiative and are looking forward to seeing the results of The Search.”
“We are delighted to support The Search for Merseyside Entrepreneur of the Year and look forward to discovering more enterprising people in the city region.”
“MCA and its member colleges are delighted to be actively supporting The Search and promoting the opportunity to students on Greater Merseyside. Enterprise is a key theme within Further Education Colleges and encouragement of new businesses and start ups is critical to the economic prosperity of Merseyside. The Search represents collaboration and the collective strength of the Merseyside business community which is great news and the practical business support and mentoring to be provided to the winner of this initiative is incredibly valuable.”
“Well done Merseyside and The Search! Entrepreneurs aged over 50 are the hidden backbone of the economy. They bring to their business a life-time of skills and experiences: in many cases they have to succeed to make a living - and they do. The more publicity Olderpreneurs get, the more people over 50 will realise that, with the help that is available - not least from PRIME, they too can escape the ageism in the job market and set up their own business.”
“Merseyside needs to be - and is - at the forefront of activity, pioneering changes that will enable older people to contribute more for longer. That's why 5050vision is very happy to support The Search and we're delighted to see the over 50s as a natural and clear target group within the initiative.”
“The Prince's Trust is keen to highlight opportunities for entrepreneurs to grow and develop their businesses. We help around 150 young people set up businesses each year in Merseyside alone and are keen to help and support even more to recognise their potential and get their lives working. The Search is one of the ways we can further promote entrepreneurship with young people by working in partnership with others.”
“As providers and managers of student accommodation in Merseyside, SLP are delighted to be promoting The Search. We are keen supporters of any initiative which encourages the development of raw entrepreneurial talent. This is not just an initiative to discover an entrepreneur, but a programme to develop their business skills and knowledge contributed to by established and successful organisations in our region. We are excited to see what is created and hope that many students enter.”
“We are pleased to be involved in promoting The Search which is an ideal forum to encourage local entrepreneurs of all ages to step forward and enter.”
“08 businessconnect is a forum for business in Liverpool. We believe The Search is a good initiative helping local entrepreneurs succeed, which ties in with the aims of 08 businessconnect.”
