A legacy of excellence: 28 years celebrating British business achievement
From our inception in 1998, the Growing Business Awards have chronicled the rise of some of Britain's most remarkable business success stories, from dynamic small businesses that have grown into household names to innovative enterprises that have revolutionised their industries.
Our alumni represent the very best of British business innovation and success – companies that been celebrated on our stage and have gone on to become industry leaders.
This legacy of excellence continues to grow stronger each year, as we identify and celebrate the next generation of growing businesses that will shape Britain's economic future.
Famous faces and household names
Over our illustrious 28-year history, the Growing Business Awards has attracted some of Britain's most respected business giants as judges, hosts, and winners.
Recognisable names such as Deborah Meaden, Peter Jones, Theo Paphitis, Henrietta Lovell and Dr Stephen Fear have previously joined our judging panels, while household brands including Innocent Drinks, Pharmacy 2U, and JustPark have all graced our stage.
The awards have been hosted by celebrated personalities including Sally Phillips, Rob Beckett, and Justin Moorhouse among many others - hosts who have brought warmth and wit to our celebrations.
Throughout nearly three decades, these awards have not only recognised excellence but have become a trusted predictor of tomorrow's business success stories, with many early winners now established as business leaders in their respective industries.
