On Thursday 26th February, the Wiseup team attended the SME London Business Awards at the Leonardo Royal Hotel London Tower Bridge – a fantastic evening celebrating the achievements of small and medium-sized businesses making a real impact across the capital.
We’re incredibly proud to share that Wiseup has won two Silver Awards at this year’s awards ceremony:
Our mission has always been simple: bridge the gap between education and the workplace, and we're thrilled to be recognised for our efforts in London. Read on to learn more about what these achievements mean to us!
Winning the Silver Award for Positive Impact highlights the core mission that drives everything we do at Wiseup.
Our programmes are designed to bridge the gap between education and the workplace, helping young people gain the skills, confidence, and networks they need to succeed in their future careers. Through initiatives such as the Pathfinder Programme, we partner with businesses to provide structured mentoring and meaningful work experience opportunities for students.
Receiving Silver in the Best Enterprising Business category is a testament to Wiseup’s evolution as a business with purpose.
Over the years, we’ve continually adapted our model to maximise our impact – shifting from a professional mentoring network to becoming a social enterprise focused entirely on supporting young people as they transition from education into the world of work.
This entrepreneurial approach has enabled us to develop innovative programmes that deliver measurable results for both students and businesses, while also helping employers build stronger talent pipelines for the future.
We would like to extend a huge thank you to the organisers of the SME London Business Awards, as well as to the incredible business partners, mentors, schools, and students who make our programmes possible.
Your support is what enables us to continue expanding our work and helping more young people gain access to the workplace.
