Allia Impact was delighted to be named Enterprise Support Organisation of the Year (Over £750,000 Turnover) at the National Enterprise Network (NEN) Awards 2026 yesterday.
The award recognised organisations demonstrating “exceptional delivery of enterprise support, creating measurable impact for entrepreneurs and small businesses through innovative programmes, effective partnerships and a commitment to helping founders succeed”.
The recognition followed another strong year for Allia Impact, which has continued to support entrepreneurs across the UK through a range of programmes designed to help founders start, grow and scale their businesses. From early-stage idea development through to investment readiness and growth support, Allia Impact has worked with entrepreneurs at every stage of their journey.
Over the past two years, Allia Impact has supported more than 2,200 founders through its enterprise support programmes. During this period, supported businesses have launched new ventures, secured investment, created employment opportunities and delivered positive social and economic impact within their communities.
The award was presented at the National Enterprise Network Conference 2026, which brought together enterprise support organisations, policymakers, local authorities and business support professionals from across the UK to celebrate excellence within the sector.
Martin Clark, CEO of Allia Impact, said: “We are incredibly proud to receive this award. It is recognition of the dedication and expertise of our team, the strength of our partnerships, and most importantly, the founders and businesses we have the privilege of supporting. Every entrepreneur we work with has their own ambitions, challenges and journey, and this award reflects the impact they are creating in communities across the country.”
Umesh Kumar, Head of Venture Support at Allia Impact, added: “Enterprise support is about more than helping people start businesses. It’s about giving founders the confidence, knowledge, networks and opportunities they need to build sustainable ventures that can thrive. We are grateful to National Enterprise Network for this recognition and excited to continue supporting entrepreneurs to create positive economic and social impact.”
