The Sports and Leisure Awards celebrate excellence across the global sports and leisure industry. These awards recognise individuals, facilities, and organisations that inspire healthier lifestyles, deliver outstanding experiences, and make a lasting impact in their communities.
Categories highlight achievements from coaching and personal training to world-class leisure attractions, fitness facilities, and wellness services. They also showcase innovation in technology, excellence in specialist clubs, and the dedication of those who bring sport and leisure to life.
The Altaris Sports and Leisure Awards provide a platform for leaders, coaches, and organisations to gain international recognition, demonstrating how their work is shaping a more active, healthy, and connected world.
We know that many small business owners, entrepreneurs and larger organisations don’t like to pay up front for awards, where fees range from £99 to more than £200 per category. With us, all your entries are free.
It just makes sense. Why pay an entry fee when you get nothing in return? If you enter an award sector with Altaris Business Awards and win, you pay an Award Acceptance Fee, then enjoy a raft of benefits for winning.
As a winner or finalist, you get credible industry recognition & publicity from National press releases through Google News, outlets such as AP News & Benzinga, and newswires.
Social media marketing is important for all businesses, which is why we announce your accolades on social platforms, and regularly engage with you and your followers.
Select winners may be chosen for the creation of additional free in-depth PR content, highlighting the success of your business and making you a trusted voice in your industry.

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.

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. Recognising the need for a radical shift in our approach to tackling global challenges, Dr. Cavendish envisioned a company that would act as a catalyst for disruptive ideas and transformative solutions.

Her unwavering commitment to fostering a culture of innovation, collaboration, and calculated risk-taking has made the company an incubator for breakthrough ideas that revolutionise industries.
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.

Under her leadership, Quantum Leap Innovations Ltd. has adopted a unique, forward-thinking approach to its organisational structure and management style.

In addition to fostering innovation within her own company, Dr. Cavendish is committed to nurturing the next generation of trailblazers. Quantum Leap Innovations Ltd. actively collaborates with academic institutions and young entrepreneurs, offering research grants, mentorship programmes, and innovation challenges aimed at supporting emerging talent and driving groundbreaking ideas forward.
Dr. Cavendish is also an ardent advocate for diversity and inclusion in the world of technology and innovation. Through various company initiatives, such as scholarships and outreach programmes, she champions the inclusion of underrepresented groups in the sector, believing that true innovation can only be achieved by tapping into the wealth of diverse perspectives and experiences.
Beyond her achievements at Quantum Leap Innovations Ltd., Dr. Cavendish is a thought leader in her own right.
