THE ENTREPRENEUR OF THE YEAR award

STAY TUNED FOR 2025 

 Being the industry body; the AGHA supports all entrepreneurs, giving them the chance to bring their products to the world of retail through trade fairs. In addition to this, the AGHA gives entrepreneurs the chance to be a part of an association that was founded on communal support. We’re by the industry, for the industry. For over 40 years, we’ve been promoting a diverse AGHA community which has given us the opportunity to present the AGHA Entrepreneur of the Year Award.  

This award celebrates a special individual who’s shown great resilience and determination in setting up their business. This individual defines success and finds meaning through their impact, spirit, purpose, and growth. The AGHA entrepreneur of the year is purpose-led and has helped advance the gifting and homewares industry through forward-thinking initiatives.  

The Entrepreneur of the Year award is the perfect award to showcase the achievements of our members and what they have and hope to achieve with their business in enhancing the industry.
