Lycetts, the UK's premier countryside insurance broker, today launched its search to find the Young Rural Entrepreneur of 2007.
A cash prize of £10,000 is up for grabs to anyone under the age of 35 who is helping to boost the UK's rural economy amid an ever changing rural landscape.
Working in partnership with The Field magazine, the Young Rural Entrepreneur Award will focus specifically on businesses with a rural theme, and on the individuals behind them who have demonstrated entrepreneurial spirit coupled with a clear commitment to sustaining the rural economy.
The outlook for rural business is brighter, with the resurgence in demand for locally produced food and drink, coupled with the successful diversification of farm activity across the UK. The use of modern technology to work remotely is also helping to create sustainable rural employment, attracting professionals to the countryside.
Following on from the success of last year's Young Champion of the Countryside award, the winning entrepreneur could be running any type of business from soup making to computer software design.
