Jacyn Heavens named Great British Retail Entrepreneur of the Year

“The Great British Entrepreneurs awards is inspirational, showcasing the best of British and evidencing some amazing entrepreneurial talent.”

- Michael Jacobsen, Serial Entrepreneur, GBEA Judge

Jacyn was in good company at the ceremony, with the awards recognising business leaders from multiple industries across 20 awards categories. Jacyn was celebrated for his tireless motivation and driving force behind the innovations delivered by Epos Now in the last 5 years, including developing the UK’s first POS AppStore which won the Queen’s Award for innovation in 2016.

The Great British Entrepreneur Awards receive hundred of applications each year. The retail category was whittled down to a shortlist of eight. Having won the award Jacyn said, “ This is such a huge honour. Five years ago I could have never imagined myself here, sharing the stage with these inspirational business leaders. We’re all from different sectors, catering to different markets but what unites everyone here is the passion they have for their business and the sheer belief we are offering something new and valuable to our customers.”
