London’s Grosvenor Hotel set the scene for an evening celebrating Britain’s business elite at the Lloyds British Business Excellence Awards. With twenty categories spotlighting the country’s most innovative and resilient enterprises, the ceremony’s highlight was the recognition of Trinny Woodall, the celebrated fashion and beauty entrepreneur, who received the evening’s highest accolade – The Inspiration Award.
Hosted by British radio and TV presenter Anita Rani, the event brought together leaders from across sectors, with Michelin-star chef Tom Kerridge and Rani adding their own touch of star power as they were joined by an audience of Britain’s top business minds and innovators, all gathered to recognise the resilience, ingenuity, and impact of UK businesses.
Reflecting on Woodall’s win, Sarah Austin, Director of the Lloyds British Business Excellence Awards, commented, “Trinny represents the epitome of British business excellence. Her journey from media personality to a leading business figure in the beauty industry is a powerful example of innovation and resilience – qualities we are proud to honour.”

“The Lloyds British Business Excellence Awards not only celebrate these accomplishments but also open doors for winners. By shining a spotlight on their success, we provide increased visibility, networking opportunities, and the potential for collaboration, empowering them to elevate their businesses and inspire future entrepreneurs.
“I would like to express my gratitude to our event partners and our Headline Sponsor, Lloyds, for their unwavering support in making this event a success. We’re already looking forward to next year, as we continue to honour the brightest minds in British business!”
