Scintam Engineering Shortlisted for Prestigious National Entrepreneurship Award
We’re proud to announce that Scintam Engineering has been named a finalist in the 2025 Allica Bank Great British Entrepreneur Awards, shortlisted in the highly competitive Technology Entrepreneur of the Year category. This honour highlights Scintam’s commitment to innovation, impact, and engineering excellence.
Widely referred to as the “Grammys of Entrepreneurship,” the Great British Entrepreneur Awards (GBEA) celebrate the UK’s most exceptional entrepreneurial talent. This year’s awards attracted over 800 finalists from across the nation, all recognised for their pioneering spirit, transformative impact, and outstanding resilience in the face of today’s business challenges.
Being shortlisted places Scintam among the UK’s most exciting and impactful businesses, acknowledging the remarkable progress made since their founding. As a University of Nottingham spinout, Scintam has developed innovative systems like FastEDR, a portable electrical discharge machining (EDM) system that removes seized fasteners quickly, safely and without damage, and ARTES, an automated system that enables scalable remanufacturing.
Peter Smith, Chief Technology Officer at Scintam Engineering, commented:
“It’s a real honour to be shortlisted for this award, alongside some of the UK’s most exciting and ambitious businesses. It really reflects the hard work and ingenuity of our entire team. At Scintam, we’re driven by a mission to transform the way industries approach maintenance and remanufacturing, supporting safer and more efficient engineering practices. Being recognised at this level is both a validation of our approach and a motivation to push even further.”
Past winners of the awards include the founders of BrewDog, Grenade, ClearScore, Zilch, and Unbiased, many of whom received recognition early in their entrepreneurial journeys.
Frankie James, founder of the Great British Entrepreneur Awards, said:
“We’re so proud to reveal this year’s shortlist, a truly remarkable group of founders who are changing lives and transforming industries. The quality of entries gets stronger every year, and it’s clear that the entrepreneurial spirit in the UK is more alive than ever. Many of our finalists go on to become household names, and we can’t wait to watch what this year’s cohort achieves next.”
Winners will be announced at a ceremony on Monday, November 17th, 2025, at London’s Grosvenor House Hotel, where over 1,500 entrepreneurs, investors and business leaders will gather to celebrate the best in British enterprise.
