About The UK National Innovation Awards

The UK National Innovation Awards (the Nationals) have been designed by the Directors’ Club United Kingdom to recognise business technology innovations and their impact on customer experience, employee engagement, operations performance, product creation, and profitable growth.

As technology and innovation are at the heart of this initiative, we decided to totally reimagine the concept of B2B recognition and award giving.

The outcome is a unique programme that uses an all-digital platform to execute the entire awards process (with the exception of mailing the winner’s trophy).

Our aim is to have an as-near-as-possible zero carbon footprint and environmental impact.

Uniquely, the Nationals are judged by the business leaders who employ the technologies.

About Directors’ Club United Kingdom

Today’s Directors’ Club has its origin in a small supper club in London’s Mayfair.

The Directors’ Dining Club, as it was known, had its home at Claridge’s Hotel and brought together business leaders of the day to discuss trends and disruptive forces for change.

In February 2010, Jon Snow (founder and chairman) re-constituted the dining club as the Directors’ Club and so a business lifestyle and networking institution was born.

The Club motto To endeavour. To achieve captures the spirit of the organisation and the ambitions of its members.
