Dr Tevin Tobun’s logistics technology company, Routd, has been named Start-Up of the Year at the Elite Business 100 Awards, supported by the British Business Bank.

In addition to this achievement, Routd was also recognised as one of the UK’s top 100 SMEs of the year, highlighting the company’s rapid growth, innovation and impact within the logistics and supply chain sector.

The awards celebrate the most dynamic and high-performing small and medium-sized businesses across the UK, with the Start-Up of the Year category recognising organisations that have demonstrated exceptional potential, scalability and industry influence.

The Routd team attended the awards ceremony at the Leonardo Royal Hotel, joining other leading businesses recognised for their contribution to innovation and economic growth.

Reflecting on the recognition, Tobun emphasised the importance of building technology that delivers real operational value:

“This recognition is a testament to the dedication of our team and our mission to transform logistics through smarter, data-driven technology that delivers real impact for our clients."

Founded to address inefficiencies in modern supply chains, Routd has quickly established itself as a leading logistics technology platform, using data-driven insights and automation to optimise delivery operations and improve visibility for organisations.

The dual recognition underscores Routd’s continued momentum as it scales its operations and expands its impact across the UK and beyond.
