Celebrating the success of the Elite Business 100 Awards 2025
Startups Magazine is proud to have partnered with the Elite Business 100 (EB100) Awards, which once again recognised and celebrated the UK’s most innovative and ambitious SMEs.
Held on 12 March 2025 at the prestigious Leonardo Royal Hotel, St Paul’s, London, the evening brought together industry leaders, entrepreneurs, and business trailblazers to celebrate the resilience, growth, and success of the nation’s top small and medium-sized enterprises.
With the UK’s entrepreneurial landscape continuing to evolve, the EB100 Awards highlights the businesses that demonstrate leadership, strategic foresight, and sustained growth. The awards provide an opportunity to honour companies that are redefining their industries, making an impact on the economy, and paving the way for the future of British business.
Scott English, Founder and Global Brand Director of Elite Business, commented: “Being listed in the EB100 is a significant achievement, showcasing the dedication and resilience of the UK’s top SMEs. Each year, we evaluate businesses against six key criteria, including financial performance, innovation, and strategy.
