Stutt Associates founder, Lisa Haywood, a finalist in the Entrepreneur of the Year Award at Cornwall's Rewind Radio's inaugural Business Awards

It was an exciting night on Friday 22 May 2026 for our founder Lisa Haywood, as she was one of 3 finalists for the Entrepreneur of the Year Awards at Cornwall's Rewind Radio's inaugural Business Awards. The ceremony took place at Tregenna Castle in St Ives, Cornwall. There was an exclusive guest list, with only finalists and sponsors (plus the Rewind Team) invited.

The night was an excellent celebration of Cornwall businesses, with some really big names represented. In all 17 awards were handed out, to all sectors and all levels of colleagues from apprenticeship to leader. What really stood out was the calibre of finalist in every category. The judges had a really tough job whittling the field down and then choosing the winners.

In the Entrepreneur of the Year category the winner was the founder of a business that had been going for more than 9 years, so Lisa was up against some epic Cornish businesses. The fact that she made the final shows just how much influence she has attracted for Stutt Associates during the first 18 months we've been going. We know this will only continue to grow as we transition into the next stage of development, laying foundations for the next employee and the next few years of scaling.

It's a really exciting time and while Lisa didn't take away the prize, we are so proud of how far she has brought us and of her bold and inclusive vision. We're sure you will join us in congratulating her for getting to the final.
