We are thrilled and delighted to have been named as the Construction & Building Services Start-Up Winners at the Scotland Final of the StartUp Awards National Series this week. 

 

The StartUp Awards National Series debuted this year to highlight the dynamic startup scene across the country that skyrocketed during the pandemic, and has been rolled out in nine UK nations and regions, supported nationally by BT, EY Breakthrough Incentives, Clearco, Dell Technologies & Intel, Moblox, Fearless Adventures and with regional support from Glasgow City Council, GS1UK and the Moja Group.

 

The Scotland final was held at SWG3 in Glasgow and saw twenty-three awards given out to the new businesses in categories including Digital StartUp of the year, Green Startup of the year, the Rising Star Award for businesses less than 12 months old and Young Entrepreneur of the year. 

 

The awards were judged by a panel of prominent Scottish judges, including successful entrepreneurs and their supporters; Laura Birrell of Sticky Heelz, Danny Campbell of Hoko, Emma Macdonald of The Tartan Blanket Co. and Russell Dalgleish of Exolta Capital Partners.

 

Originally formed as the Wales StartUp Awards in 2016, the Awards Series has joined forces with the Great British Entrepreneur Awards to take the celebration of newly formed businesses nationwide. Creator of the awards Professor Dylan Jones-Evans OBE said the inaugural event not only celebrated the best new firms in Scotland but recognised the amazing entrepreneurial talent across the nation.

 

Alan Lees, BT director for corporate and public sector in Scotland, said: “It has been a privilege to be a judge for the Start Up Awards National Series and I was very impressed by the high quality of the entries across the different categories.

 

“BT in Scotland is committed to supporting small businesses and start-ups which are vital to our economy. It’s inspiring to see the passion, innovation and determination among the start-up community in Scotland and I’m pleased we’re able to sponsor these awards which shine a light on the fantastic work they are doing.”
