GROWTH CHAMPION OF THE YEAR
Demonstrating exemplary vision in their use of growth capital to scale, Growth Champions are role models for Britain’s 1.3 million small to medium sized enterprises who employ 15.7 million people…
The Growth Champion of the Year award recognises scale up businesses and their founders/CEOs. This award is open to any UK-based scale-up with a turnover of no less than £3m in the last financial year that has best used EIS or VCT investment for growth. Focusing on how the investment and associated support has been optimised, judges will consider a range of growth metrics including revenues, job creation, and regional/international expansion. The panel will also look at how investment has been deployed – in R&D, talent, technology or the executive board – to enable future growth.
To support recognition as an exemplary scale up business, all Growth Champion of the Year finalists will be video interviewed* to provide content for an associated public vote (worth 20% of the overall score).
*Only content approved by the finalist will be broadcast.

We believe in the perfect start.
Every great day starts the night before.
Good sleep and great starts are too important to be elitist.
For too long, mattresses have been sold through expensive stores at massively inflated prices.
So we set out to create eve. A mattress that is simply beautiful and beautifully simple, and available to everyone at a surprisingly fair price.
