Last night’s Enterprise Awards 2025 brought together some of the UK’s most inspiring tech founders for an evening of celebration at London’s historic Drapers’ Hall — and ScaleUp Group was proud to be a Gold Sponsor once again.
The awards, which were founded by ScaleUp Group Executive Chairman John O’Connell, are now in their 13th year. Since their inception, they’ve consistently recognised the individuals behind some of the UK’s most innovative and successful tech businesses. This year marked a major milestone: more than 100 entrepreneurs have now been honoured for their contributions to the tech sector.
The winners of the 2025 Awards span a diverse range of industries and growth stages — from AI-driven disruptors and fintech innovators to public sector leaders and purpose-led enterprises. What unites them is their ability to lead with vision, resilience, and meaningful impact.
Here are this year’s winners:
- Social Enterprise Entrepreneur – Vinay Nair, Lightful
- Public Sector Entrepreneurs – Anas Nader, Patchwork Health & Martin Neale, ICS AI Ltd
- Applied AI Entrepreneur – Michelle He, Abound
- Scale Up Entrepreneur – Ranjan Singh, HealthHero
- Emerging Entrepreneur – Dan Thompson, Kluster
- Developing Entrepreneur – Iain Griffin, Seatfrog
- Enterprise Entrepreneur – Ozan Ozerk, OpenPayd
The evening was co-hosted by Tola Sargeant, CEO of Archives of IT and Chair of the Judging Panel, alongside Paddy MccGwire, Senior Partner at Silverpeak. Their commentary throughout the event highlighted not just the commercial achievements of the winners, but their lasting impact on the UK’s economy, innovation landscape, and society at large.
As a team deeply embedded in the B2B SaaS scale-up ecosystem, we at ScaleUp Group see the extraordinary effort it takes to grow world-class companies. Supporting the Enterprise Awards is one of the many ways we celebrate and champion the exceptional talent that drives this sector forward.
Proceeds from this year’s awards will go to the WCIT Charity, which funds initiatives supporting digital inclusion, responsible tech use, and IT education across the UK — another mission we’re proud to back.
Congratulations to all the winners and finalists. We look forward to seeing what they achieve next.
