Dan Sagar Named Finalist for Entrepreneur of the Year

Dan Sagar, founder of DS Business Growth, has been named a finalist for the University of Southampton Business School Award for Entrepreneur of the Year.

This award recognises dynamic and visionary leaders who demonstrate innovation, resilience, and a commitment to inspiring others. For Dan, the nomination is both a personal milestone and a reflection of the impact his work has had on ambitious business owners across the region.

With a background in luxury hospitality and e-commerce, Dan has steered multiple ventures through challenging markets, combining creativity with a focus on results. Today, through DS Business Growth, he helps established B2B businesses move from scattered to structured, building clarity, confidence, and sustainable growth.

Being shortlisted for Entrepreneur of the Year highlights more than individual success. It signals the value of Dan’s ethos: that business leaders can achieve greater results when they have the right systems, strategies, and support in place. His approach has not only shaped his own ventures but has also enabled clients to scale, improve profitability, and unlock opportunities they hadn’t thought possible.

Speaking about the nomination, Dan said:

“It’s an honour to be recognised alongside such inspiring entrepreneurs. For me, this is about more than personal recognition, it’s proof of what can be achieved when you combine vision with execution. My goal has always been to help business owners turn ambition into results, and this shortlisting reinforces that mission.”

As the awards draw near, the Entrepreneur of the Year nomination stands as a marker of Dan’s ongoing commitment to raising standards, driving innovation, and helping businesses thrive.
