We are beyond thrilled to have been named as a finalist ahead of the South East finals of the StartUp Awards, in the Professional Services category.
The UK StartUp Awards was launched to recognise the booming start-up scene across the UK which has accelerated over the last few years with over 900,000 new businesses founded in the UK in 2023, a 12% increase from the year before.
Over 900 businesses have been shortlisted for this year’s UK StartUp Awards and the contribution of these firms - all of which were started in the last three years - is significant, having created nearly 6,000 new jobs since they were established and generating annual sales of £480 million.
"To be a finalist in these awards is a testament of how far we have come as a company and not only to the team but also to our teaching team who are the heart of our business working tirelessly every week to ensure local children have the best access to education. Without our fab team and Schools supporting us we wouldn’t be where we are today being recognised for the best startup professional service in the South East."
Supported nationally by ScoreApp, GS1 UK, Starling Bank, OVHcloud, GiftRound, Airwallex, the programme will celebrate the achievements of all the amazing individuals who have turned an idea into an opportunity and taken the risk to launch a new product or service. We are so proud of everything we have achieved at Gold Education Recruitment so far, and so excited to have been recognised by the UK StartUp Awards.
The selection and announcement of winners for each category, in each region, will be announced online on Wednesday 8th May, so keep your fingers crossed for us and we’ll keep you up to date across our social media platforms.
Professor Dylan Jones-Evans OBE, the creator of the UK StartUp Awards, said:
“Start-up businesses are the lifeblood of any economy, being responsible for new jobs, innovation and wealth creation across the UK. All the finalists this year represent the best of those entrepreneurs who have spotted an opportunity and through their sheer hard work, talent and perseverance, have created amazing new businesses that are creating real impact in their sectors. Building on the success of previous years, we are now looking to identify the ‘best of the best’ with all the finalists who win their category in their region going on to represent their region at the first ever UK National StartUp Awards final later this year”.
Thank you so much to everyone who has been a part of our journey so far and who have contributed to an amazing first few years of Gold Education Recruitment.
