Excellence4Health Shortlisted for Education & Training Start-Up of the Year at UK StartUp Awards

We’re delighted to share that Excellence4Health has been shortlisted for the Education & Training Start-Up of the Year at the UK StartUp Awards – North West Final. The event will take place on Thursday 12 June 2025, at the ODEON Manchester Trafford Centre.

Recognition for a Purpose-Driven Start-Up

Launched in January this year, Excellence4Health was founded by healthcare professionals Olivia Sutton and Kelly Barrow, who bring over 30 years of combined nursing and healthcare experience to the business. Our aim is simple: to improve access to quality training for healthcare providers across the North West through practical, face-to-face learning.

To be recognised so early in our journey is a real honour. It reflects the hard work that’s gone into building something meaningful and the support we’ve received from professionals across the sector who share our belief in the importance of hands-on, engaging training.

Why This Matters

At Excellence4Health, we know the demands healthcare professionals face day to day. Our training is designed not just to tick a box, but to give people the tools and confidence they need to deliver excellent care. This nomination highlights the growing demand for training that’s rooted in real-world experience and delivered with purpose.

We’re genuinely looking forward to the awards evening. It’s a chance to connect with other businesses doing great work across the region and to reflect on how far we’ve come in a short space of time. Whether we take home the award or not, we’re proud to be in the mix and to see our work recognised in this way.

Thank You

We’d like to thank everyone who has supported us so far - whether you’ve attended a course, partnered with us, or simply cheered us on. It means a great deal.
