PwC partners with FEBE for second year in a row
The partnership will allow FEBE to benefit from PwC’s knowledge of international expansion, accessing funding, tax relief around research and innovation and incentivising management
PwC has partnered with For Entrepreneurs, By Entrepreneurs (FEBE) for the second year in a row, as part of its support for UK entrepreneurs.
After a successful first year, the firm said it will continue to support FEBE in its “quest to shine a light on UK entrepreneurs and their businesses, to create a community and to showcase the innovation and contribution to the UK economy driven from fast growth, privately owned founder-led businesses”.
It added that the partnership allows FEBE and its community to benefit from PwC’s knowledge and expertise across areas such as international expansion, accessing funding, tax relief around research and innovation and incentivising management.
To recognise FEBE’s 2023 Growth 100 list, a celebration event was held at Abbey Road Studios on 28 September. The event honoured the 100 fastest growing privately owned founder-led companies in the UK. This year, companies like Swansea-based Au Vodka, security provider ISA Support services and event management company Creation topped the list.
Emma Suchland, UK Private Business Leader and Tax partner at PwC, said: “Our partnership with FEBE is something we’re extremely proud of, and allows us to work directly with the founders of some of the UK’s most innovative fast growth businesses.
“These companies all have one common denominator – they’re all risk takers – and we’re delighted to be able to bring our community of solvers to them and support them as they continue to grow. This stage can be tricky, exhilarating, rewarding – but it’s always personal. Any part we can play in supporting their ambitions and growth journeys is a real privilege.”
John Maffioli, co-founder of FEBE, added: “We’re so pleased to be partnering with PwC for the second year running after an incredible first 12 months together. Our members have benefited from PwC’s track record of working directly with businesses at any stage of their growth journey, as well as access to their team of experts.
“At FEBE, we’re dedicated to supporting and celebrating the UK’s best entrepreneurs, and our relationship with PwC demonstrates this.”
