We are so over the moon to announce that at the UK StartUp Awards yesterday evening, Opulence was crowned the Hospitality & Events Start Up of the Year for the whole of the UK!
The UK StartUp Awards, supported by national banking partner Starling Bank offer a chance for businesses to gain recognition and exposure, build brand visibility, make industry contacts, and network with potential investors, all while celebrating the incredible achievements of start-ups in the early years of their business journey. Following over 1600 entries from ten nations and regions across the UK, thirty five different awards were given out to new businesses at the national final in categories such as Graduate StartUp of the Year, Business to Business Services StartUp of the Year and Social Enterprise StartUp of the Year.
Adeel Hyder, MD of SME Banking at Starling Bank says:
“Attending the inaugural national final of the UK Startup Awards was an inspirational experience. It was uplifting to see so many young businesses thriving – particularly after the difficulties of the past few years. Congratulations to all the winners and finalists, They are a welcome boost to the UK economy creating job opportunities and developing skills to drive growth.”
Professor Dylan Jones-Evans, founder of the UK StartUp Awards, praised the winners, noting that this year’s national winners not only showcase the best of UK entrepreneurship but also serve as inspiring role models for others considering starting a business. He said:
“We’ve had some fantastic businesses apply this year and the winners at the first-ever UK final represent the ‘best of the best’ entrepreneurial new businesses from all nations and regions. From innovative ventures developing AI, Cleantech, and MedTech to outstanding firms in sectors such as consumer products, fashion and beauty, and tourism and leisure, those that have won this year’s awards demonstrate the incredible entrepreneurial talent that exists across the UK.”
We are so thankful to every one of our clients who has booked an experience with us over the past two years and most importantly to our incredible partner vineyards. Without their support, wonderful teams and of course amazing wine, we wouldn’t have a business, so we are eternally grateful for all of their continuous support.
