This Award acknowledges organisations that can demonstrate substantial growth and innovation in 2022, through headcount, service or product development and revenue growth. Successful growing businesses are extraordinarily important to the UK Economy, driving innovation, creating wealth and thousands of new jobs and we are proud to acknowledge this with our Growth Award this evening.
