Dan Sheard, Founder of Velstar has been recognised as One to Watch in The LDC Top 50 Most Ambitious Business Leaders programme for 2024, in partnership with The Times.
Created by trusted investment partner LDC – part of Lloyds Banking Group, The Top 50 celebrates entrepreneurs demonstrating remarkable ambition, and is now in its seventh year.
This year the programme received more than 700 nominations showcasing the exceptional individuals building successful and growing businesses right across the UK.
The business leaders featured in The LDC Top 50 for 2024 are making a real impact by creating jobs, promoting social equality, championing sustainability, expanding internationally and integrating purpose into their business practices.
The Ones to Watch are those individuals that are making great strides and growing their businesses. They excel in their industries, make a positive impact on their customers and employees, and stand out for their potential to achieve even greater success in the future.
Founded in 2016, Velstar has since successfully acquired three additional agencies in less than three years, showcasing phenomenal growth and recognition. Offering an end-to-end partnership for brands across the ecommerce space, both D2C and B2B, Velstar is expected to make £9M in revenue this year, more than doubling on the previous financial year.
Dan Sheard, Founder of Velstar said: “It is an honour to be named a ‘One to Watch’ in The LDC Top 50 Most Ambitious Business Leaders for 2024. Over the last eight years, we’ve come a long way, and I’m thrilled to receive such prestigious recognition within the UK business community.”
John Garner, Managing Partner at LDC, added: “It’s been seven years since we launched The LDC Top 50 and in that time we’ve had the privilege of meeting some truly remarkable people, and this year has been no different. I’d like to congratulate this year’s Ones to Watch on their achievements so far – we can’t wait to see what they do next.”
