The Disruptor Award at The Times LDC’s Top 50 Most Ambitious Business Leaders programme
 
Created by LDC, the private equity arm of Lloyds Banking Group, and supported by The Times, The Top 50 celebrates the inspiring leaders behind some of the UK’s most successful and fast-growing medium-sized firms.

The accolades were given out after an intense judging session, during which this year’s judging panel of Carl Castledine, CEO of Away Resorts; Jan Steele, Founder of Only the Brave Health, Nisha Katona MBE, Founder of Mowgli Street Food; John Garner, Managing Partner of LDC; and Kate Bassett, editor of The Top 50 2022 selected the final award winners.

The Disruptor Award recognises the business leader that is shaking up their sector. Join Talent launched their fully remote recruitment business , Join Talent, with Katrina determined to give her employees the flexibility in location she didn’t have in her early career. They now employ over 200 people across 23 countries, working on talent acquisition inside companies such as scale-ups, unicorns and Fortune 500 brands – proving that you don’t need a permanent base to make things work.
 
LDC’s John Garner said: “Join Talent have well and truly embraced the freedom of working anywhere, proving that a fully remote business can make sound business sense as well attracting talent. I’d like to congratulate Katrina and her team on this award win.

“Those featured in The Top 50 this year are a real source of inspiration; they prove that great things can be achieved even when times get tough. Having backed the ambitions of British businesses for more than 40 years, we know just how important it is to celebrate the people who are driving companies forward, generating growth and creating jobs.

“I’d like to congratulate all of The Top 50 for 2022, especially our award winners! They demonstrate the positive impact of ambition and show exactly what British business leaders are made of.” Show less
