Brian Henderson, PwC partner, said: “The shortlist epitomises the very best of British business. From feisty grassroots challengers to mid-tier innovators these businesses have forged opportunities from themselves and those they employ. They are the engine of the UK economy.”
Charlie Hoffman, Managing Director, HSBC Private Bank (UK) Ltd said: “Once again there is strong competition across all categories with candidates demonstrating immense talent and an outstanding work ethic. Alongside their relentless focus on the customer, so many participants acknowledge that human capital, namely the employees, is often what makes the business a success.”

“At HSBC Private Bank we have long recognised the contribution of private businesses to the economy, and are delighted that through the Private Business Awards we now have an established national platform for showcasing the very best of their achievements and entrepreneurship.”
Jane Gomez, managing director of The Supper Club, said: “From manufacturers to digital disruptors, the businesses on this shortlist demonstrate the ambition and strength of UK enterprise today. We are thrilled to support this celebration of not only business success, but particularly, of leadership. The founders and CEOs of these firms have led these firms through challenging times to achieve growth. They are the true wealth creators in Britain today."
