After qualifying as one of the top 20 teams in UK and Ireland, Enactus Liverpool marked another exciting milestone in their journey to create social impact through entrepreneurial action at the Enactus UK & Ireland National Expo 2025.

Following their success in the regional rounds where they competed against 40 other university teams, the group advanced to the national stage held at London ExCeL and showcased their key initiatives: Breaking Barriers and Project Ruby.

The presentation team included Business Management Students Millie Jones, Ellen Shields and Saba Salim, Marketing students Amreeta Johal and Gladys Kwok, and Accounting and Finance student Alan Liyu. The group presented their work alongside peers from University of College Dublin, Aston University and the University of East Anglia.

Ellen Shields, Project Lead for Breaking Barriers, received the InnovateHer Award by Arla Dairy and XPO Logistics at the awards evening hosted by Bentley Systems, a highlight moment of the evening for the team.
