We are thrilled to share the news that ScaleUp Group Partner, Guy Rigby, won the ‘Business Leader of the Year’ Award at the prestigious Scale-Up Awards last week.
A qualified Chartered Accountant, business advisor, best-selling author, mentor, philanthropist and, not least, world-record-holding ocean rower – Guy is undoubtedly a worthy recipient of this Award. As part of a long and varied career, Guy founded Smith & Williamson’s (now Evelyn Partners) Entrepreneurial Services Group which has become a destination for entrepreneurs seeking commercial, accountancy, tax, and corporate finance advice.
The Business Leader of the Year award was presented to the individual who has demonstrated outstanding contributions to business and industry through years of dedication and hard work. The judges were looking for a breakdown of the entrant’s business story, business history and relevant financial information, non-executive business positions, charity, and community work. In addition, they were looking for an example of leadership with successful results, and information on career success and milestones.
Guy joined Scaleup Group in 2020. He is actively involved in advising founders and supporting scale-up businesses, particularly in the B2B sector.
