Welcome to our Barclays Entrepreneur Awards 2024 nomination portal, ready to place game changing entrepreneurs in the spotlight for their outstanding contribution to industry, the UK economy and society.

Barclays is proud to celebrate these incredible entrepreneurs and their unique journeys, which places the UK at the forefront of the global start up scene. From idea to IPO, the UK’s entrepreneurial spirit is at the heart of the awards. The prestigious awards ceremony later this year, will highlight founders and their businesses, drawn from across the country, who have taken the bold step steps to start, scale, and in some cases exit their business to start again.

The Barclays Entrepreneur Awards consist of nine award categories, ranging from start-up through to serial success and this year, a number of Barclays partners who provide services to help businesses thrive have taken the opportunity to sponsor a category.
