The Startup Awards was launched 12 years ago to celebrate and give recognition to the disruptive, exciting and courageous start-ups in the UK.<\/p>\n
Every year we receive hundreds of entries, which are painstakingly riddled down to a list of finalists and then judged by leading entrepreneurs like Holly Tucker (notonthehighstreet.com), Jon Wright (Innocent Drinks) and David Buttress (Just Eat), as well as investors, business advisers and even a Dragon (Touker Suleyman).<\/p>\n
With 16 categories up for grabs this year including longstanding awards like our Women in<\/span> <\/span>Business award and Innovative Business of the Year, we also included a couple of new accolades from Lean Start-up of the Year to our Rising Star Award.<\/p>\n And following a judging day filled with debate, on November 27 we announced the Startups Awards 2015 winners…<\/p>\n These are the UK’s top start-ups of 2015 —> https:\/\/t.co\/9jSr9NXnoT<\/a> #StartupsAwards<\/a> #startup<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/lzdOr1RFPZ<\/a><\/p>\n — Startups.co.uk (@startupstowers) December 6, 2015<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n at a bigger event than ever before… <\/p>\n Proud of the @startupstowers<\/a> team.
