The Award for

new business of the year

Has your new business shown incredible growth in customers or revenue over the last two years since launching? Are you a start-up or entrepreneur with an exciting new product or service for your sector or industry to celebrate? Has the calibre of your team and product attracted inward-investment?

If you are a high-performing new business, trading for fewer than two years, with an innovative edge and something to shout about, this could be your award.  This category recognises businesses which have exceeded their initial targets for growth, and which have already made an impact within their sector or industry through significant product or service advancement and leadership.

Open to organisation that began trading less than two years ago, this award recognises businesses that demonstrate the following:

  • An established market position 
  • Excellent growth, expansion or resilience 
  • Potential for sustained growth
  • Innovation in products, services or processes
  • Customer and staff engagement 
  • Effective leadership and management 
  • An ethical approach to business 
  • Strong business results
