Essex-based startup Gold Education Recruitment has been named as the Winner of the Professional Services StartUp of the Year at the 2024 South East StartUp Awards.
Paul Yates founder of Gold Education Recruitment said:
“We started three years ago with a vision to personalise the service experienced in Education Recruitment, and to be recognised for this award really shows how far we have come. We wouldn’t be here today without all the support and hard work of our candidates and clients, so a HUGE thank you to everyone who has helped us achieve this amazing award.”
The UK StartUp Awards were established to highlight the success of startups across ten UK nations and regions, and to celebrate the achievements of entrepreneurs in all sectors of the economy.
Supported nationally by Starling Bank, Airwallex, Chime Agency, Development Bank of Wales, EvaBuild, ForrestBrown, GiftRound, GS1 UK, Join Talent, OVHcloud, Project Simply, ScoreApp, SFC Capital and Welsh Government, it's a really wonderful opportunity to showcase businesses across the UK. Harriet Rees, CIO at Starling Bank says:
“Turning an idea into a successful business takes a lot of courage and dedication. Congratulations to Gold Education Recruitment on winning their category in the South East and making it to this year’s UK national final. Start-ups need certainty to plan ahead. It’s great to see so many thrive, especially in these challenging economic times.”
Nearly 90,000 new businesses were created in the South East in 2023 and according to Professor Dylan Jones-Evans OBE, creator of the awards, this demonstrates the growing importance of entrepreneurs to the regional economy. He is also excited that the awards are, yet again, recognising the best new firms from Oxford to Southampton to Kent and celebrating the amazing entrepreneurial talent from every corner of the region.
He said: “Start-ups are the life of any economy and that is especially true in the South East where new businesses are contributing to job creation, innovation, and prosperity across the whole of this entrepreneurial region. It’s been an honour and a pleasure to read the stories of those founders who have spotted the opportunity and taken the risk to launch their own venture. All of the winners in the South East have demonstrated that they deserve to win their categories and I’m looking forward to having the ‘best of the best’ from the region competing at the UK final later this year”
As a regional winner in their category, Gold Education Recruitment will now progress to the UK Startup Awards final being held at Ideas Fest on September 12th, dubbed ‘the Glastonbury for Entrepreneurs.’
