Our ethos is simple: all businesses should be treated equally, and your achievements should be judged based on achievement alone. We have structured our awards and judging process so that everyone is on an equal footing – from Lone Wolf to Corporate Enterprise.
Entries are judged based on merit – not on bank balance or size of the company. We’re not “pay to play” like some of our competitors.
Directors Dan Trindade and Mark Byrne developed the Altaris Business Awards model around the suggestions and needs of business owners.
With strong business backgrounds and a network of high-level contacts from some of the UK’s most notable firms, Dan and Mark set out to change the way UK awards were managed, giving back as much as possible to the community.
Our judging panel are business experts with a wealth of knowledge in various industries. They lend their experience and business acumen to the many award sectors we cover.
Our panel consists of dozens of private & public guest judges; below are a few of our business experts who will be selecting shortlists, winners and finalists in our awards!

Dr. Cavendish has redefined the boundaries of innovation, earning her a well-deserved nomination for the Most Innovative Business Leader award in the Business Leader Awards 2023.
Established in 2019, Quantum Leap Innovations Ltd. was the brainchild of Dr. Cavendish, a renowned physicist and serial entrepreneur with a track record of developing ground-breaking technologies.

A prime example of Dr. Cavendish’s innovative prowess is the company’s flagship project, “HelioSynth”. This pioneering solar technology harnesses the power of artificial photosynthesis, converting sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into clean, sustainable energy. By effectively replicating nature’s most efficient energy conversion process, Dr. Cavendish’s brainchild has the potential to transform the renewable energy sector and contribute significantly to reducing the world’s carbon footprint.
