Throughout June 2026, the UK StartUp Business Awards went on their regional tour to name the best StartUps in 10 regions:
London
East of England
South East of England
South West of England
North East, Yorkshire & The Humber
North West of England
The Midlands
Scotland
Northern Ireland
Wales.
At the final hosted for The Midlands, The Expert Skin Clinic was named the winner for ‘Beauty, Health & Wellbeing StartUp of the Year’.
The UK StartUp Business Awards recognises the achievements of individuals who have had a great idea, spotted the opportunity and taken the risks to launch their new product or service. The awards were founded “to celebrate the ambition, vision, and hard work of businesses in their early stages”. They believe that by recognising the achievements of current start-ups, they can inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs to take the leap and pursue their business.
The Midlands final was hosted on the 18th of June 2026 at MAC, Cannon Hill Park in Birmingham. The evening consisted of celebrations and excitement as they worked through each category, announcing the regional winners for all 21 categories.
The Expert Skin Clinic became a finalist for the category ‘Beauty, Health & Wellbeing StartUp of the Year’ alongside 4 other businesses. Founder of the clinic, Larissa Warren, attended the evening where she accepted the award, recognising all the hard work and dedication poured in making The Expert Skin Clinic what it is today.
The UK StartUp Awards doesn’t just end there. They go on to take the winners from each region and name them as National Finalists. This means that each winner for each category will then go through a second round where they have the opportunity to be named winner for the entire of the UK.
The National Final will be hosted live on the main stage at Ideas Fest on September 9th at 17:30. This time, The Expert Skin Clinic will go head-to head with 9 other StartUps to take the win. Known as The Glastonbury of business, Ideas Fest is the refreshing alternative to business events.
