We are FEBE – For Entrepreneurs, By Entrepreneurs. We exist to celebrate and support the very best entrepreneurs and their companies. The essence of our ‘club’, which includes the UK’s best and most successful founders, is entrepreneurs supporting entrepreneurs. We want to inspire and champion our country’s best ‘dare-to-doers’. We know how important it is to celebrate our country’s founders and their businesses, and the Growth 100 does just that.
FEBE
A club built for entrepreneurs by entrepreneurs
FEBE GROWTH 100
SO MUCH MORE THAN JUST A LIST…
The Growth 100 is an annual list and awards that shines a light on the finest and fastest-growing privately owned businesses in the country, where the founder or founders are still involved. This is the beating heart of our club that inspires, motivates and supports the very best entrepreneurs and their companies. But the Growth 100 is so much more than just a list…
Founders are unique. Their experiences, their vision and their resilience are unlike anything else. And founders get other founders. So, we want to celebrate this and bring these ‘dare to doers’ together throughout the year. Together in a way which is all about entrepreneurs supporting each other and sharing experiences in an exclusive environment. We also want to share their stories, so Founder Stories will delve into the journeys and the high and lows that these entrepreneurs have been through to help inspire others.
