The Peter Jones Foundation was set up by Peter Jones (of Dragons' Den fame) back in 2005 and focuses on giving young people and disadvantaged groups the enterprise skills to get into work or start their own businesses. National Entrepreneur of the Year is one of their flagship competitions, spotlighting emerging entrepreneurial talent, particularly from underserved communities, with finalists competing for the title in October.
The event was hosted by FRP Advisory and Rob was one of a few guest speakers giving a short talk on his own entrepreneurial journey and the lessons learned along the way. This was followed by a Q&A and a business surgery working through pitches one-on-one with the finalists.
