The LDC Top 50 Most Ambitious Business Leaders 2025 has unveiled its new cohort of the UK’s most dynamic and visionary entrepreneurs, marking the eighth year of the national awards programme that celebrates the country’s growth champions.
Created by LDC, the private equity arm of Lloyds Banking Group, in partnership with The Times, the programme recognises the founders and chief executives behind Britain’s fastest-growing and most innovative medium-sized businesses.
This year’s Top 50 were chosen from almost 700 nominations, reflecting a diverse group of leaders who are not only driving financial success but also creating jobs, championing sustainability, and making an impact in their communities. Together, they employ nearly 10,000 people across 67 towns and cities and generate combined revenues of £1.2 billion.
The winners were celebrated at a gala ceremony at BAFTA in London, where category winners — including The UK’s Most Ambitious Business Leader of 2025 — were officially announced.
