IIH Global Director Sanjay Panchal Named GBEA 2026 Technology Entrepreneur Finalist

HERTFORDSHIRE, U.K. - July 8, 2026 - PRLog -- IIH Global Founder and Director Sanjay Panchal has been named a finalist in the Technology Entrepreneur of the Year category at the 2026 Allica Bank Great British Entrepreneur Awards, one of the UK's most respected awards recognising entrepreneurial excellence.

Known as the "Grammys of Entrepreneurship," the Great British Entrepreneur Awards celebrate founders who demonstrate innovation, resilience and long-term business impact. The awards recognise entrepreneurs behind successful businesses that contribute significantly to the UK economy.

The 2026 awards attracted more than 5,000 applications, with 740 businesses shortlisted across multiple categories. Collectively, this year's finalists represent:

• £3.3 billion in combined annual turnover
• More than 17,700 jobs supported
• Over 2,700 new jobs expected to be created
• More than 5,200 combined years of trading
• Businesses representing all UK nations and regions
• Nearly half already exporting internationally

The recognition reflects Sanjay Panchal's entrepreneurial journey in building IIH Global into a trusted technology partner serving businesses across the United Kingdom and international markets. Since its establishment in 2013, IIH Global has specialised in custom software development, AI solutions, mobile app development, website development, CRM systems and digital transformation services.

Commenting on the recognition, Sanjay Panchal, Director of IIH Global, said:

"Being named a finalist is a proud milestone for both me and the entire IIH Global team. This recognition reflects our commitment to helping businesses innovate through technology while building lasting partnerships with our clients."

Frankie James, Founder of the Great British Entrepreneur Awards, said:

"When we launched the Great British Entrepreneur Awards in 2012, we set out to back the businesses that get on and build, the ones that don't always get the recognition they deserve. This year's cohort represents billions in turnover and tens of thousands of jobs, but what I'm proudest of is the determination behind those numbers."

The awards are supported by Allica Bank, which recognises the contribution established businesses make to the UK economy through innovation, employment and sustainable growth.

The winners of the 2026 Allica Bank Great British Entrepreneur Awards will be announced later this year.
