Sole Trader Trophy: these are your finalists

Self-employed professionals deserve more attention. To highlight this message, Orange Belgium awards its annual Sole Trader Trophy, a unique recognition for Belgian sole traders who work tirelessly to enhance their customer experience.

From more than 850 entries to 20 finalists

This first nationwide edition was met with great enthusiasm. More than 850 Belgian entrepreneurs entered and a multitude of customers and supporters cast their votes. Once the public votes had been counted, which represent 30% of the total vote, the professional jury had the difficult task this month of selecting the finalists.

Congratulations to these 20 finalists

Contagious passion, a fresh approach, a bold vision or a unique way of making a difference for their customers… The ten Dutch-speaking and ten French-speaking entrepreneurs who impressed the jury the most in these areas earned their place in the final.
