Ntesports Wins Best Upskilling Provider at 2025 Business Awards UK
We’re thrilled to announce that Ntesports has been named “Best Upskilling Provider” at the 2025 Business Training and Education Awards, hosted by Business Awards UK! On top of that, we were also honoured as a finalist in the “Rising Star” category, a recognition that’s especially meaningful during this exciting period of growth for our team.
As they say, awards are like London buses, none for years, then two come along at once!
About the Awards
Business Awards UK celebrates excellence and innovation across a wide range of sectors, highlighting organisations that make a genuine difference in their industries. The Business Training and Education Awards specifically honour those raising the bar in professional development, workforce training, and educational delivery.
With hundreds of nominations each year, these awards are highly competitive, judged by a panel of industry professionals who look for impact, innovation, and results. To be named both a winner and finalist in 2025 is an incredible honour, especially considering the calibre of organisations we were up against.
Why We Won
The Best Upskilling Provider award reflects our commitment to building accessible, practical, and innovative esports education. Here’s why we stood out:
We’ve created the world’s largest library of esports teaching resources, supporting Level 2 and Level 3 BTEC qualifications.
We’ve embedded safeguarding into the heart of esports education through our ProtectMe initiative, powered by Kidas software.
We’ve partnered with institutions across multiple continents, including Thailand, India, the UK, and Kenya, to grow esports talent and opportunity.
Through grassroots mentorship, high-quality training content, and facility design consulting, we’re helping both educators and students bridge the gap between classroom and competitive industry.
This award follows our earlier success this year, when we received a Global Recognition Award for our work in esports education, safeguarding, and grassroots development, further highlighting the growing impact of what we do.
A Thank You From Our Team
Managing Director Nik Turner shared:
“I’m unbelievably proud of what we’ve achieved. Ntesports has always been a passion-driven project, so to now receive national and international recognition is something I’ll never take for granted. Massive thanks to the team, our partners, and every single person who has supported us along the way. We’re just getting started.”
