Lewis Reeves With Highly Commended Award

Lewis Reeves of Walr has won the Highly Commended: One to Watch Award as part of The LDC Top 50 Most Ambitious Business Leaders programme for 2023.

Created by trusted investment partner LDC – part of Lloyds Banking Group, and supported by The Times, The LDC Top 50 champions the business leaders who are pushing for growth and building successful medium-sized businesses.

This year’s nominations were of an exceptionally high calibre and the competition was fierce, showcasing the drive and determination that unites business leaders across the UK.

The leaders featured in The LDC Top 50 are growing their businesses at home and overseas, making a positive contribution to society and driving progress against their sustainability goals. They hail from every corner of the UK and span every sector of the economy. Together, they employ more than 6,700 people and turn over more than £1.2bn. 

The Ones to Watch, recognized last night at a celebratory event at BAFTA in London, are leaders making great strides and growing their businesses. They are excelling in their industries and making a positive impact on customers and employees, yet still show so much potential for future growth. 

CEO and Founder, Lewis Reeves was recognized as this year’s standout Ones to Watch leader by winning The Highly Commended: One to Watch Award.

Lewis Reeves, said: “I’m extremely proud of the start we’ve made at Walr, we’ve truly created the foundations to kick on and build a business that will change an industry and leave a legacy.”

John Garner, Managing Partner at LDC, said: “We started The LDC Top 50 six years ago to champion the remarkable success stories of medium-sized businesses, the unsung heroes of the British economy. In business, ambition is the driving force that propels innovation, growth and success, and the winners, as well as those recognised in The Top 50 and Ones to Watch should be proud of their achievements.

“When it comes to Walr, Lewis has been the driving force behind the business’ growth since he founded the company just over two years ago. He has quickly scaled Walr to employ 90 people across eight different countries whilst retaining a strong focus on company culture. I’d like to congratulate him on this award.”
