Renowned for pioneering the world\u2019s first eco-smart electric vehicle (EV) charger, the judges were impressed with myenergi\u2019s\u00a0disruptive thinking and commitment to sustainability. Since founding the business in 2016, the renewable duo have launched an industry-defining portfolio of green technologies and opened subsidiaries all over the world.<\/p>\n
Following their regional success, Jordan and Lee will now\u00a0progress to the UK finals, with the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year™\u00a0overall winner set to be announced in November.<\/p>\n
Jordan commented: \u201cBeing nominated in the programme \u2013 let alone taking home an award \u2013 has been a real honour. Considering the challenges of the past 18 months, it\u2019s a privilege to be recognised for our diligence, enthusiasm and commitment to innovation.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen Lee and I founded myenergi, the vision was simple \u2013 create a positive impact, push the boundaries of possibility and change the world through pioneering green technologies.\u00a0We started with nothing, except for a few good ideas and a serious passion for change. Just five years later, we\u2019ve turned our dream into a reality, recently shipping our 100,000th<\/sup>\u00a0unit and building from a team of two to a workforce in excess of 200.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m looking forward to sharing our story at the national finals. Being able to do this\u00a0alongside my business partner Lee is a true reflection of our dynamism, passion, enthusiasm and the success story that we\u2019ve collectively created.\u201d<\/p>\n Lynn Rattigan, EY\u2019s Chief Operating Officer for the UK & Ireland and EY Entrepreneur Of The Year UK Partner Sponsor, said: \u201cAt EY we want to build trust in capital markets, advocating for inclusive capitalism, helping our clients navigate uncertainty and catch the next wave of economic growth by coming together as one firm to solve their most complex challenges.<\/p>\n \u201cAt a time when many businesses have had to rapidly react to the challenges posed by the pandemic, these entrepreneurs have shown they can innovate, respond and adapt while also creating long term value for their clients and broader stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Jordan Brompton and Lee Sutton, co-founders of myenergi, have topped the \u2018Rising Star\u2019 North regional category at this year\u2019s EY\u00a0Entrepreneur Of The Year™ programme.\u00a0Celebrating the UK\u2019s most ambitious business leaders, the programme recognises their ambitious journeys, disruptive thinking and commitment to making a positive impact on the economy.
