Three up-and-coming entrepreneurs are fine-tuning their pitches as they bid to secure a £20,000 investment at this year’s Baldwins KickStart Awards.

The awards – which take place at Edgbaston Stadium on November 15 – offer the winner a £10,000 cash injection along with £10,000 worth of business mentoring from Baldwins Accountants.

Advent Communications has helped to publicise the awards by profiling the finalists which includes a unisex cosmetic product to support transgender women, a revolutionary swimming aid for children, and a cutting-edge app aimed at tackling the UK’s gambling problem.

This resulted in coverage across the UK including the Birmingham Post, Leicester Mercury, Yorkshire Evening Post and Edinburgh Evening News.
