Start up Loans Ambassadors 2021/2022

The annual Start Up Loans Ambassadors programme, now in its sixth consecutive year, celebrates exceptional business owners who have followed the ambition of becoming their own boss after receiving support from the Government-backed Start Up Loans programme. To date the programme has delivered over 87,000 loans providing more than £779m of funding.

The 2021/2022 Ambassadors feature a social enterprise creating unique furniture from whisky barrels in Scotland, a Nottingham van-based phone repair service and a new alternative dairy company that uses camel milk! This year’s ambassadors are from a range of backgrounds and show that despite living in challenging times innovation and entrepreneurship are strong in the UK.
