It's been an incredibly successful week for GLAS in the UK, as our team were victorious at both the Growing Business Awards and the TRI Strategy awards. At Wednesday's TRI Awards, we were named 'Best Technology Provider.' With competition from some of the industry’s biggest names, we are thrilled to be recognised for our commitment to delivering cutting-edge, bespoke solutions in the turnaround, restructuring and insolvency space. Following on from this, GLAS picked up both the 'Investor Backed Business of the Year' and 'Growing Business of the Year (£50–£100m revenue)' trophies at last night's Growing Business Awards. Our CEO and Founder, Mia D., was also chosen as 'Entrepreneur of the Year' at the Growing Business Awards, reflecting the leadership and vision that are pivotal to GLAS’ success. This recognition across both competitions is a result of our whole team's relentless pursuit of excellence across all areas of the business, and we are proud to see our focus on innovation and client service deliver excellent results for GLAS this week. #weareGLAS
