Firstport’s impact shortlisted for prestigious award
We are delighted to be shortlisted in the Prove It: Social Impact Award at the UK Social Enterprise Awards 2026.
Produced by Social Enterprise UK and Co-operatives UK, the awards celebrate the leading lights in our sector, showcasing diversity and impact across 15 categories.
Social enterprises are businesses that trade for a social or environmental purpose, and reinvest at least half their profits to further that mission. There are more than 100,000 social enterprises in the UK, employing 2.3 million people, and we’re delighted to be recognised as one of the best in this pioneering business movement.
Commenting on being a UK Social Enterprise Awards finalist, Gael Drummond, Firstport Group CEO said:
“We’re really proud to be shortlisted for this award. It’s wonderful to see the work of our team and the social entrepreneurs we support recognised on a UK stage, and we’re looking forward to coming together with others from across the sector to celebrate the impact social enterprises are making every day.”
We’ll join other finalists and VIP guests at a prestigious awards ceremony at the New Century Hall in Manchester on Thursday 12 November, when the winners will be revealed.
