Startups Awards 2007

Welcome to the Startups Awards 2008 – the biggest night in the startups calendar

Startups.co.uk are delighted to be media partner of the Startups Awards

“We’re rightly proud of the Startups Awards for being not just another business awards. Everyone who attends our awards ceremony comments on the verve and energy in the room. Each year we unearth a whole set of innovative, disruptive new businesses and entrepreneurs that continue to make people sit up and pay attention to the start-up market. I’m confident we’ll do the same again in 2008 because we know what talent and potential there is out there among the sole traders, in our schools, the over 50s and in the minds of those building the bourgeoning brands of tomorrow, today. The Startups Awards measures business achievement across the board, championing innovation, enterprise and the people behind the businesses. If you’ve got a new business to shout about, Startups Awards is listening. Enter now!”

	I’m delighted to be involved in the Startups Awards. Business startups are key to the well-being of the economy. They create competition and ensure the best new ideas are brought to flourish. We’ve 4.5 million businesses in Britain, that’s more than ever before and great news for the economy. More than 1,000 new businesses are starting-up every day, and the businesses here represent the very best of those new enterprises. It’s our priority in government to ensure new businesses have the best opportunities to become the big revenue businesses of the future and it’s brilliant to see evidence here of so many successful British startups. The Startups Awards is full of committed, enterprising businesses that always impress me. I salute their achievements and success – a success which not only should they be proud of, but one that’s good news for everyone in Britain.
