The very best of British Private Businesses
05 July 2016
In association with BGF, the UK's leading provider of growth capital and The Supper Club, we recently announced the shortlist for the sixth annual UK Private Business Awards. The finalists were selected from the hundreds of entries received from private businesses across the UK.
These Awards recognise success and achievement within the vast number of private businesses in the UK. The Awards dinner in September sees attendance of over 450 entrepreneurs, CEOs, FDs, COOs and management teams from a diverse range of industries, along with their corporate advisers.
To be considered for these awards the business must be headquartered in the UK and have some UK based operations. Its shares must not be publicly traded but it could have received Venture Capital or Private Equity funding. The awards cover the period between 1 January 2015 and 31 December 2015.
In particular, Fast Growth companies are frequently recognised in the Rising Star, Technology High growth and Emerging Entrepreneur of the Year categories. The shortlist was judged on a variety of things from innovation, vision, commercial viability, growth and brand recognition.
