A Proud Moment for NeonCow

We’re excited to announce that Jack Quddus, founder of NeonCow, has been named a finalist for Young Entrepreneur of the Year at the Lord Mayor’s Business and Culture Awards 2025.

This prestigious recognition highlights Jack’s outstanding contribution to Birmingham’s creative and business community, celebrating his vision, dedication, and leadership as one of the city’s most promising young entrepreneurs.

Since launching NeonCow, Jack has transformed the way Birmingham experiences custom neon signage and creative light design. His unique approach combines artistry, craftsmanship, and innovation, producing bespoke neon pieces that bring warmth and identity to venues, offices, and independent businesses across the region.

From collaborations with iconic Birmingham institutions to helping small local brands express their personality through design, NeonCow has become a key name in the city’s creative landscape. Each project tells a story — one that reflects Birmingham’s energy, culture, and community spirit.

Jack shares, “To be recognised in my hometown alongside so many inspiring business leaders is a huge honour. Birmingham has given me so much, and I’m proud to represent its creativity through NeonCow. This recognition belongs to everyone who’s supported the journey, from our clients to the wider creative community.”

The Lord Mayor’s Business and Culture Awards celebrate the individuals and organisations that make Birmingham a vibrant, innovative, and inclusive city. Being shortlisted for Young Entrepreneur of the Year is not only a personal milestone for Jack but also a reflection of NeonCow’s mission — to make spaces brighter, bolder, and more meaningful through design.

Thank you, Birmingham, for your continued support and belief in local creativity. As NeonCow continues to grow, we’re committed to bringing more light, more art, and more inspiration to the city we’re proud to call home.
