STOP PRESS…Startups Awards finalists announcement postponed

Shortlisted finalists for the Startups Awards will now be announced on Monday, October 28.

Due to be announced today, the number and quality of entrants has led to the shortlisting process taking slightly longer than planned.

While close to completion, those involved in the shortlisting for the 10^th annual Startups Awards, sponsored by Simply Business, take the process incredibly seriously.

Further research will be carried out on a handful of companies in with a chance of taking one of three finalist places for each of the 12 categories.

We know many of the entrants are on tenterhooks waiting to find out whether their submission has been successful, so apologise for the delay.

Once unveiled, the finalists entries will be judged by household name entrepreneurs, small business experts, business journalists, and former winners of the awards. The judging day will take place on November 8.
