Salary sacrifice provider Tusker has been shortlisted in the Growing Business Awards which aim to recognise SME and entrepreneurial success.

The Real Business Magazine awards are held in association with Lloyds Bank and supported by the CBI.

Tusker has been shortlisted for growing business of the year (large business category), which ‘recognises world class privately-owned UK companies’.

David Hosking, chief executive officer for Tusker, said: “We are very excited to find ourselves on the shortlist for Growing Business of the Year, not least of all because so many previous winners have gone on to be household names. 

"The judging criteria focused on areas of our business that are also extremely important to us, such as customer service, people management and our impact on the environment, so we hugely appreciate the fact that the judges feel that we do those things exceptionally well.”

For stage two of the awards process, Tusker’s directors attended an interview with the judging panel in London on October 8. The winners will be announced at an awards ceremony in London on November 26.
