Pontus Research* provides in vivo research and development studies for the aquaculture, marine and aquatics sectors – and can adapt to a wide range of trial designs with its highly flexible systems.
Dr Jack James, founder of Pontus Research, said in a press release: “We are incredibly proud to be named a finalist for Global Entrepreneur of the Year. It is a fantastic honour and a testament to the hard work and dedication of our entire team. Our mission is to be a world-leading research partner for the global aquaculture industry, driving innovation and sustainability in a sector crucial for future food security. To have our global impact recognised while being firmly rooted here in Wales, is particularly special. It proves that Welsh businesses can lead on the world stage, and we are committed to creating high-quality local jobs as we continue to grow.”
Known as ‘’The Grammys of Entrepreneurship’’, the awards celebrate standout founders from across the UK. More than 800 entrepreneurs made this year’s shortlist, collectively representing over 25,000 jobs and £2.25 billion in annual turnover. Past winners include the founders of BrewDog, Grenade, ClearScore, Zilch and Unbiased, many of whom were recognised early in their entrepreneurial journey by the awards.
The awards are sponsored by Allica Bank, with support from organisations including Airwallex, FundOnion and UBS Wealth Management. Winners will be announced at a gala ceremony at London’s Grosvenor House on 17 November.
Frankie James, founder of the Great British Entrepreneur Awards, said: “We’re so proud to reveal this year’s shortlist, a truly remarkable group of founders who are changing lives and transforming industries. The quality of entries gets stronger every year, and it’s clear that the entrepreneurial spirit in the UK is more alive than ever. Many of our finalists go on to become household names, and we can’t wait to watch what this year’s cohort achieves next.”
