The Great British Entrepreneur Awards has been celebrating the stories of exceptional entrepreneurs for over a decade.
The accolades don’t always go to the biggest businesses. We pride ourselves on celebrating incredible stories of passion, tenacity, courage, innovation and disruption from entrepreneurs running businesses of all sizes and at all stages.
Start Application!Craig Forsythe had a vision to enhance human connections through thoughtful group gifting experiences. In 2018, he founded GiftRound, the ultimate group-giving platform, with the mission to revolutionise how people express care for one another during life’s celebrations.
Through GiftRound, organising a group gift has never been easier. In just a few clicks, anyone can create a custom GiftRound to celebrate milestones like new jobs, weddings or birthdays and share it with friends and family to contribute. GiftRound’s curated selection of gifts offers something for every budget and taste. Since launching, GiftRound has helped facilitate nearly 90,000 gift collections for nearly 1 million customers.
Craig’s passion for bringing people together through the gift of shared experiences has fueled GiftRound’s success. GiftRound’s growth has been facilitated by their distinctive blending of both personal, thoughtful gestures with flexibility and convenience when group gifting. The company has invested in the development of the GiftRound Store, which features everything from luxury hotel stays to artisanal treats, allowing contributors to choose a gift as unique as the recipient.
With hybrid work environments on the rise, GiftRound is uniquely positioned to foster meaningful connections between teams. An increasingly cashless and experience-driven society also points to strong future growth. “Gone are the days of passing an envelope around with a card to sign and the collection organizer having to top-up the collection to cover the cost of the gift!” said Forsythe.
Craig and GiftRound have been selected as finalists in the Great British Entrepreneur Awards 2023, known as “The Grammys of Entrepreneurship.” The awards ceremony will be held in London on November 20th.
