Founder of Ideas Forums | Creator of Ideas Fest – the ‘Glastonbury for Business’ | Building Communities &amp; Celebrating Entrepreneurs Shaping the Future
We do far more than host awards, we build transformative communities that celebrate entrepreneurial excellence and provide the resources, networks, and opportunities for businesses to thrive. Our programmes are diverse yet unified by a mission to champion the businesses shaping the future: 🏆The Great British Entrepreneur Awards: Known as “the Grammys of entrepreneurship,” celebrating 5,000 of the UK’s most inspiring founders annually and uncovering the household names of tomorrow. 🏆The UK StartUp Awards: Recognising 3,000 high-potential businesses in their first three years of trading across six nations and regions. 🏆The UK Fast Growth Index: Highlighting the 50 fastest-growing businesses in key regions, the 2024 index featured businesses that have a collective turnover of £14 billion and are employing over 25,000 people. 🏆The Great British Industry Awards: Celebrating established businesses with turnovers between £10 million and £200 million, spotlighting the innovation, impact, and resilience driving the UK’s economy. At Ideas Forums, our work goes beyond recognition, we create platforms where founders and businesses at every stage can connect, learn, and grow. From intimate networking events to Ideas Fest, dubbed the “Glastonbury for Business,” we provide spaces that fuel ambition, collaboration, and progress. Our community of 100,000 represents the backbone of the UK economy, from start-ups to industry giants. Through strategic initiatives, we’re empowering businesses with the tools, stories, and partnerships they need to scale and succeed. I’m driven by the belief that entrepreneurship and innovation are the catalysts for progress. Ideas Forums is here to shine a light on the extraordinary businesses shaping the UK’s future and to ensure they have the support to go even further. If you’re passionate about building businesses, driving innovation, or celebrating success, let’s connect.
