Who are the companies that are rewriting the rules, the game-changers that are redefining their own marketplace? The Spectator and Julius Baer have once again come together to present the Economic Disruptor of the Year Awards – a celebration of creative entrepreneurship throughout the UK.
In front of more than 120 guests from across the business world, the awards were announced on Wednesday 13 November at a gala dinner at the Postal Museum in London, chaired by Spectator chairman Andrew Neil. The winners were drawn from nearly 150 nominations from across the UK.
The entrants have all been innovators, driven by real passion for what they do, and represent each of the different regions of the UK. The finalists are recognised as those with the greatest potential to scale-up: taking their ideas from the local to the national, and – from there – to the wider world.
With the potential to become the UK’s first global ‘edutech’ venture, CENTURY was named the overall winner of the 2019 awards, as well as the regional winner for London.
CENTURY is the creation of Priya Lakhani OBE.
