The finalists for the 2022 Scale-Up Awards have been announced today.

Celebrating high-growth companies and the entrepreneurs running them, the Scale-Up Awards are the first and only awards focusing on the scale-up sector. Bringing together politicians, VIPs and business leaders from across the UK and the world to celebrate success and enterprise, this year’s event takes place at Tobacco Dock in London and is a must-attend for anyone operating in the scale-up sector.

Sponsors for this year’s event are BKL Advance, Bright Data, ClearCourse, finnCap Group, Hubble, Huboo, MHI, PensionBee, Rocketmakers, Servcorp, and The Specialist Works.

The independent panel of judges – which contains Touker Suleyman from Dragon’s Den, PensionBee Co-founder Jonathan Lister Parsons, and many other esteemed figures from the business world – evaluated a record number of entries. After months of deliberation, the judges successfully narrowed down the finalists in the 15 awards categories.
