Finalists announced for ScaleUp Awards by Business Leader Magazine

The hotly-anticipated list of finalists for the UK’s leading business event have been announced.
The Amazon ScaleUp Awards by Business Leader will take place on March 20, 2020 at the Hilton Park Lane in London and the awards celebrate the UK’s most successful businesses.
The Awards received more than 400 entries and a team of judges that included Piers Linney (Ex-Dragons’ Den star and investor), Jackie Fast (Apprentice star and businesswoman), Caprice (model and businesswoman), Irene Graham OBE (CEO of ScaleUp Institute) and many more spent over a month scrutinising and scoring the entrants.
Comedian Tom Allen will be the host at the Awards night, which will be attended by more than 500 guests – bringing together an audience of the UK’s leading entrepreneurs and business figures.
Event founder Andrew Scott comments: “These awards are all about celebrating the UK’s fastest-growing business – not those with the biggest PR budgets but the companies that are achieving year on year growth – that are employing people, creating wealth and making things happen. Congratulations to all of this year’s finalists.”
