The judging day: where finalists become part of something bigger


The Growing Business Awards judging day is an exclusive opportunity to get your business in front of successful entrepreneurs and industry leaders who've built and scaled businesses themselves.

More than just a formal assessment, the day is a chance thave face-to-face time to discuss your business strategy, growth challenges, and future opportunities with people who want to see you succeed. Our judges don't just evaluate – they mentor, advise, and open doors to new possibilities.

Beyond the interview, the networking area allows you to meet fellow finalists who are at similar stages in their growth journey. Previous participants have found clients, formed partnerships, and built lasting relationships with other businesses navigating the same exciting challenges and opportunities.


This year's judging day will take place in September.
