In addition to being honoured at the UK’s most prestigious SME awards (with associated coverage in Real Business and Real Deals), the winning business also gets a free impact workshop delivered by Impact+, our in-house impact specialists.

Do you know of any businesses that might be eligible? If so, we’d love to hear from them! Applications are open HERE until September 16th.

INNOVATE: POSITIVE IMPACT IN ACTION

In this short film, we show why Innovate – the latest investment from the Bridges Sustainable Growth Funds – is a great example of a high-growth business generating positive impact through its core business model.

A specialist school catering business, Innovate is helping to combat the rise in childhood obesity by providing delicious, nutritious food to over 90,000 pupils at primary and secondary schools in England. The quality of its proposition – which typically leads to a big increase in the uptake of school lunches – has enabled it to enjoy strong growth in a market now worth over £2bn a year.
