Lawrence Stephens continues to partner with FEBE (For Entrepreneurs By Entrepreneurs), an exceptional company that compiles the renowned Growth 100 list, highlighting the top growth companies in the UK.
We recently had the pleasure of hosting the FEBE growth companies, affectionately known as the FEBE Family, at a vibrant event held at the illustrious Nobu Hotel in Shoreditch.
The evening was filled with inspiration and camaraderie as we gathered with remarkable entrepreneurs, eager to share their stories and celebrate their entrepreneurial spirit. The Lawrence Stephens team is honoured to have been part of such an extraordinary occasion, where we could witness first-hand the ingenuity and resilience that define these business leaders.
Building a business from scratch is an arduous task that demands unwavering dedication, countless hours of hard work, and the ability to adapt in the face of adversity. The entrepreneurs and business owners present at the event were already well aware of these challenges, as they have conquered them time and again.
Each person in the room epitomized resilience and tenacity, demonstrating their unwavering commitment to growth. They have successfully expanded their companies, showcased their progressive leadership and is a testament to the power of perseverance.
The event was an opportunity to come together, not only to acknowledge our individual achievements but also to celebrate the accomplishments of others. FEBE truly embodies the spirit of a family, fostering guidance, knowledge sharing, and relationship building among its members.
We extend our heartfelt congratulations to all the outstanding companies that made the esteemed Growth List for 2023, as well as those recognized on the Growth List for 2022 and the Ones to Watch List. Your achievements inspire us all and set the bar high for the future.
