The Lloyds Bank British Business Excellence Awards is a place to celebrate the resilience, innovation, and creativity of the UK’s business community. It’s an awards program like no other, created by entrepreneur and founder director, Sarah Austin, with a clear vision and aim to champion a wide proportion of the business world and by doing so we attract an enormous variety of organisations and businesspeople.

From disruptive start-ups and inventive entrepreneurs to ready-to-scale businesses, established SMEs and FTSE 100 powerhouses, making it the largest, most comprehensive and prestigious business awards programme in the United Kingdom.

Our rigorous and extensive judging process is what makes us different from all other business awards. After all entries are reviewed against stringent entry criteria, they are whittled down to create finalists in each category. Which is the reason our awards are so credible, and only won by the very best of UK businesses.

The British Business Excellence Awards provides a year-long programme of content, networking events, roundtables, and judging, culminating in a glittering awards ceremony in central London welcoming over 1,000 business leaders from across the country, representing all sectors the Great British business industry has to offer. 

BBEA’s on-going goal is to develop a prestigious community of thought leaders eager to lend their trailblazing qualities to the transformation and evolution of British business, whilst also doing our bit to resolutely drive the UK economy onwards and upwards, through turbulent times, onto a prosperous 2023 and beyond.
