Entrants were nominated for the their work within three pillars: environment, people or craftsmanship, and community.
The prize received over 500 applications and a panel of judges selected nine finalists.
Other nominees include Daisy Knatchbull, founder of The Deck London, the first solely-female shop on Saville Row; John Hickling, founder of Glass Onion in South Yorkshire, a vintage and remade clothing provider which ‘remakes’ 12,000 pieces per month; and Andrew Kenny, owner of The London Embroidery Studio.
The winners will be announced on September 2.
