Preston wellbeing business owner in line for British entrepreneurs’ award

Lee, the founder of Essentialise Workplace Wellbeing, based on Ribbleton Lane, is in the final five for the Health and Beauty Entrepreneur category.

The organisation delivers cutting edge wellbeing solutions to businesses across the UK, and has clients ranging from FTSE 100 corporates to Lancashire-based social enterprises.

He is one of the shortlisted business leaders from across the nation to have been selected out of over 5,300 entrants - the most the awards has ever had.

The Great British Entrepreneur Awards, in partnership with Starling Bank, aims to champion the hard work and uplifting stories of Uk business owners, with an emphasis on their journey and resilience over financial achievements.

Twelve awards will be given out per region.

Notable winners from previous years include Social Chain founder Steven Bartlett, who went on to become the youngest ever investor on BBC’s Dragon’s Den.

Lee Chambers said: “To be a finalist in national awards that truly recognise the best in business is both a proud moment and a humbling experience. I’ve been in business since 2008, but my journey with Essentialise this past two years has been a real rollercoaster.

"The competition we are up against is another level, so to be considered alongside them fills me with hope for the future. And who knows, I might be bringing the award back to Lancashire, a place of true entrepreneurial spirit and grit.”

The winners will be announced at the Grosvenor Hotel in London on November 21.
