Start Up Loans hits £1bn milestone of loans to UK small businesses
The loans have help start and grow 105,109 businesses across the UK.
The National Enterprise Network (NEN) awards celebrate excellence in the delivery of enterprise support, and encourage the exchange of good practice and the development of improved services and organisations.
Graham Marley, Chairman, NEN said: “The organisations featured on the 2018 National Enterprise Network Awards shortlist have all clearly demonstrated excellence in the delivery of enterprise support. It was clear from all of this year’s entries that there are some fantastic enterprise initiatives and truly dedicated individuals within our network. We’ve always been proud of the work of our members and congratulate everyone who has been shortlisted.“
BEF Head of Investment, Simon Jackson said: “We’re proud to have been shortlisted for the same award that we won in 2017. Last year, the release of our Social Impact Report helped us to demonstrate the full impact of our work. This year, our work with organisations like Spark:York demonstrates our continued innovation, growth and commitment to support initiatives that make a real difference to the communities they serve.”
Winners will be announced at the NEN Annual Conference in London on Friday 16th November.
