Straight from The One Show studios, Alex Jones hosted over 450 prominent members of the UK’s SME investment community at the 11th Growth Investor Awards at the London Hilton on Park Lane.
The evening began with Founder Guy Tolhurst delivering a powerful address on the collective achievements of the growth investment community. Liz Bennington, Deputy Director for Scale-Ups at the Department of Business and Trade followed with an inspiring keynote on the power of partnership – when investors, entrepreneurs and government work together to turn ambition into real-world impact.
Winners, runners-up, and ones to watch were celebrated after a rigorous two-stage judging process narrowed down the entries to 115 finalists competing for 23 prestigious awards.We are delighted to announced our 2025 Growth Investor Awards winners.
The Growth Investor Awards recognise achievements not only in driving growth and delivering returns, but also in tackling real-world challenges. Finalists and winners in recent years have been celebrated for accelerating the net-zero transition, breaking down barriers to funding for underrepresented founders, improving access to life-saving technologies, and creating inclusive, future-ready workplaces.
To get to the final itself is an achievement, but Award winners will have to stand out above the rest for achieving impact beyond investment.
Congratulations to all of our Winners:
