Calztec CEO, James Haslam, has been shortlisted as a regional finalist for the 2022 EY Entrepreneur Of The Year Midlands and South West awards.

The EY Entrepreneur Of The Year programme was established more than 30 years ago and is one of the most distinguished business awards for entrepreneurs and leaders of high-growth companies. James was selected by an independent panel of judges most of whom have previously participated in the awards programme.

James Haslam, Calztec C.E.O., said: “I am honoured to be a finalist for the Entrepreneur of the Year 2022 Midlands and South West awards. As a business leader, a lot of effort is placed into developing and delivering our business strategy to ensure we are successful. It is a fantastic achievement when those efforts are recognised by awards like EY Entrepreneur Of The Year.”

Lynn Rattigan, EY’s UK&I Chief Operating Officer and EY Entrepreneur Of The Year UK Partner Sponsor, said: “I’m thrilled to welcome this year’s regional finalists into our entrepreneurial community. These individuals inspire me with their innovation and ability to fuel growth to the UK economy.”

Victoria Price, EY’s UK Private Tax Leader and EY Entrepreneur Of The Year UK Partner Lead, added: “Entrepreneurs have and always will be the beating heart of the UK’s economy. The fact this year’s programme has been so tough is testament to the way in which business leaders up and down the country have responded to the challenges posed by the current landscape. Our regional judges have an extremely difficult task ahead of them.”
