World Entrepreneurs' Day 2024

Today we are celebrating World Entrepreneurs' Day. Taking place every year on 21 August, this day acknowledges the hard work and dedication of entrepreneurs and business owners worldwide.

Starting a business is a big achievement but maintaining one is an even bigger challenge. It’s crucial that business owners have access to the right support and advice to be able to maintain and develop their companies. That's why we created LCCI's Business Owners Club. This exclusive group supports business leaders and entrepreneurs across all sectors to connect and supports business growth through collaboration, information sharing and peer-to-peer events.

Hear from members of our Business Owners Club Steering Group on what 'entrepreneurship' means to them, and how LCCI has helped them in their business journey:

Duncan Hopwood, Founder Director, Hopwood PR and Communications:

"To me, an entrepreneur is someone with the courage to set off in a new direction, whether that’s setting up a business or reinventing it. As a business owner, LCCI membership gives you access to potential clients, suppliers and partners. It’s somewhere you can swiftly build a friendship group of like-minded people in London with whom you can share the ups and downs of being in business."

Andy Stonehouse, Founding Partner and Creative Director, S2 Design and Advertising Ltd:

"What are the qualities of an entrepreneur? Visionaries. Risk-takers. Self-belief. Determined. Persistent. Grafters. LCCI has consistently presented my firm with opportunities to collaborate with fellow entrepreneurs at various stages of our business journey. Without LCCI networking events, we probably would not have found these opportunities (and friendships)."
