Bill Fenech, founder of Barletta Boat Company and previously a long-time fixture in the RV industry, has received the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award in the Midwest division.

Entrepreneur of the Year is one of the preeminent competitive business awards for entrepreneurs and leaders of high-growth companies. The Midwest program celebrates entrepreneurs from Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin, and Fenech is based in Bristol, Ind.

Fenech was one of seven in the Midwest region winning the award, and all the winners were selected by an independent judging panel made up of previous award winners, CEOs, investors and other regional business leaders.

“There are many successful entrepreneurs in this world, but building something of long-term value takes grit, persistence and a sense of ambition where nothing is impossible,” said Ram Ramanan, EY’s Midwest program director. “EY is proud to honor these unstoppable visionaries who are inspiring innovation without limitation and fueling growth around the globe. They are a wonderful addition to our global alumni community of past winners, and we look forward to serving as a resource as they continue to make an impact.”

Regional award winners are eligible for consideration for the Entrepreneur of the Year 2020 National Awards, to be announced Thursday, Nov. 19, during a virtual awards gala.

The Entrepreneur of the Year National Overall Award winner will then move on to compete for the EY World Entrepreneur of the Year Award in June 2021.
