Gill Riley OBE, managing director of lifting solutions specialist GGR Group, has been recognised for her entrepreneurial achievements by being presented with the EY (Ernst & Young) Entrepreneur Award for the North of the UK.
EY’s World Entrepreneur Of The Year awards convene visionary founders, CEOs and business leaders from around the world to celebrate their accomplishments.
This award follows Gill Riley’s last award win in late 2022, when she won Woman of the Year at the Everywoman awards in the UK.
Riley commented: “It’s a privilege to be nominated and to win the EY Entrepreneur of the Year award for the North. I am so proud of the fantastic and innovative business we have created here at GGR Group. Leading such an experienced and technically minded team of people and introducing many lifting industry firsts for the last 28 years is what has helped shape the GGR Group into what it is today. “
Starting with just £5,000 of initial funding in 1995, the business grew into a £33 million global success in 2022. The company now has a reputation for offering best-in-class service, equipment, and technical expertise, working on notable signature projects including HS2 and The Shard, whilst claiming the largest fleet and widest range of equipment in the UK.
