4 | Acquisition International, Business Excellence Awards 2026 Steak House of the Year 2026 – Cornwall & Culinary Excellence Award 2026: Locally-Sourced Food Those who value fine dining, the latest culinary trends, and experimental flavours from all around the world are not spoilt for choice in Cornwall – but one place they should probably avoid is Reef & Beef St Ives. This is because the restaurant does not try to be something that it is not, instead appealing to those who value honest cooking, local produce, hearty portions, and a nod to the classics. For more on the experience that awaits diners at this local steakhouse, we spoke with its own Maria Efros. Contact: Maria Efros Company: Reef & Beef St Ives Web Address: https://www.reefandbeefstives.co.uk/ A coastal steak-and-seafood restaurant in the heart of St Ives, Cornwall, Reef & Beef pairs premium cuts and daily seafood specials with curated wines and a warm, local service. Welcoming guests from solo foodies through to couples, families, friendship groups, and work teams, anyone who loves local produce and values the ultimate surf-and-turf experience is sure to this acclaimed restaurant, which draws on the abundance of fresh seafood and local produce in the region to offer excellent dishes made from home-grown ingredients. Sourcing as much of its produce as possible from fishermen and farms nearby, Reef & Beef’s commitment to sustainability and the local community sees every bite reflect the essence of Cornwall, with these unique tastes showcasing the highlights of this region’s famous gastronomy, which is second only to London when it comes to the UK’s restaurant scene. With such a reputation to uphold, Reef & Beef offers a variety of menus, from an expansive dinner menu to seasonal offerings and even a traditional roast menu on a Sunday. Focusing on the gold standard, its dinner menu, Reef & Beef covers everything any lover of seafood or steak could want across a choice selection of starters, mains, and sides. Some highlights include its mussels with white wine, double cream, and a dash of garlic butter; its fresh catch of the day, which id served with mash, broccoli, and a lobster bisque; and its 10oz rump and ribeye steaks, both of which come with a serving of Bovril butter alongside the traditional accompaniments of chips, rocket, tomatoes, and fried crispy onions. Notably, all of the dry-aged meats served across these menus are stored in Reef & Beef’s state-of-the-art, dry-ageing meat fridge for a minimum of 28 days and a maximum of 45 days, ensuring optimal taste. This fridge has been specially designed for the controlled ageing of the prime cuts the restaurant uses, maintaining the necessary temperature, humidity, and air circulation to craft the perfect environment. It works simply by drawing the moisture out of the meat, enhancing the natural flavour and tenderising the cut in the process. “Visible to diners, our fridge is not only a culinary tool but also serves as a centrepiece of master craftsmanship, showcasing our dedication to the art of ageing meat with integrity and care. ” This covers the ‘Beef’, but the ‘Reef’ is equally important for the restaurant, which reflects the diversity of the local oceans by serving only the finest fish across its dishes. From panfried scallops and king prawns to its squid ink linguine, the seafood served here is as fresh as it is truly mouthwatering. The aforementioned ‘catch of the day’ underpins this dedication to freshness, and with the experienced culinary team knowing how to get the best out of every locally-sourced ingredient, a culinary experience like no other awaits. Rounding out Reef & Beef’s food offerings is a carefully curated dessert menu, which sees a small but tasty selection of puddings served – from crème brûlée and cheesecake to a range of ice creams (a Cornish speciality). Of course, all of this food needs something equally as delectable to wash it down, and this is where the restaurant’s drinks menu is the perfect accompaniment. From international wines to sparkling brut made just down the road, these drinks are the cherry on top of a spot cherished by locals and tourists alike. The place where the ocean meets the grill, Reef & Beef St Ives’ focus on fresh, local produce over complex combinations and imported ingredients is something refreshing in a world of rising prices and shrinking portions, and whatever the reasons for visiting Cornwall’s leading surf and turf-style restaurant, patrons are sure to have a good time – with great company and even better food.

Business Excellence Awards 2026, Acquisition International | 5 Leading Cultural Symphony Orchestra 2026 – USA The Los Angeles Jewish Symphony (LAJS) is a mission-driven orchestra that was founded in 1994, dedicated to the performance and preservation of works that explore Jewish culture, heritage, and experience. Under the leadership of Founding Artistic Director and Conductor Dr. Noreen Green, this Symphony has established itself as a staple in Southern California’s arts scene. “At its heart, the LAJS believes that music can do more than entertain; it can serve as a bridge between communities, fostering empathy and understanding in our diverse and ever-evolving city.” Over more than three decades, the LAJS has built a unique artistic identity that is rooted in cultural storytelling, community connection, and cross-cultural collaboration. This commitment to cultural dialogue can be seen in every facet of the organisation, from concert programming and education outreach to partnership initiatives that bring Jewish music into broader civic and artistic conversations. Boasting more than 100 U.S. and worldwide premieres, reaching thousands of audience members through Los Angeles and beyond, the LAJS serves a broad cross-section of audiences. This includes classical music lovers, Jewish and interfaith communities, educators, students, and collaborative partners seeking meaningful artistic engagement. The orchestra’s success can be attributed to its approach to programming; where traditional symphonies may focus on the standard classical repertoire, the LAJS distinguishes itself through its speciality in music of the Jewish experience, from celebrated masters to lesserknown composers whose work reflects history, identity, and resilience. In doing so, the LAJS has attracted a number of distinguished collaborators, from Grammy-winning artists and celebrated soloists to Emmy-honoured composers. Such international acclaim has provided the orchestra with myriad opportunities, including presenting performances at prestigious venues that include Walt Disney Concert Hall, Royce Hall at UCLA, The Soraya Performing Arts Center, and the Ford Theatres. “But even more important to us than the venues and names is our community-centered approach,” Dr. Green told us, “which can be seen in our history of free family concerts, festivals such as KlezFest, and inclusive programming that brings people together through shared cultural experiences.” Recent years have brought significant artistic and community milestones for the Symphony. Its education outreach programme, A Patchwork of Cultures: Exploring the Sephardic-Latino Connection, has served thousands of students through workshops and performances that unite diverse cultural traditions. What’s more, a recent Tenero Productions documentary, Symphony of the Holocaust, featuring performance footage of the LAJS and music analysis by Dr. Green herself, has garnered screenings and award recognition across the country, including the Social Impact and Vision Award at the Ojai Film Festival. 2025 allowed the LAJS to further demonstrate its deep commitment to artistic excellence, community accessibility, and meaningful cultural connection. A highlight of the year was an acclaimed, at-capacity concert at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre, presented as the season opener of The Ebell of Los Angeles LA Voices Free Concert Series. The program was designed to showcase emerging young talent while broadening access to live orchestral music for diverse audiences across Los Angeles. Meredyth Deighton, Director of Membership and Programming at The Ebell of Los Angeles, perfectly captured the spirit of the LAJS with the description: “…a moving day of music and community. Beyond sounding absolutely incredible, the programme carried such power and hope – it was deeply felt by everyone in the room… an extraordinary program and a remarkable moment of connection.” Also in 2025, Dr. Green, an energetic ambassador for both LAJS and Jewish music, served on the creative team for the world premiere of The Violin Maker, a powerful theatrical work inspired by the Violins of Hope project, a collection of instruments rescued and restored after surviving the Holocaust. The production, which won The Best Los Angeles Theatre of 2025 Award from the Culver City News, featured music curated and performed by Dr. Green, bringing these historic voices vividly to life. Looking to the future, the orchestra is gearing up for a spring performance of opera favourites with Jewish connections. In collaboration with the historic Wilshire Boulevard Temple, this performance will feature an array of local talent and world-renowned opera singers. Alongside this, plans are also underway regarding an exciting high-profile collaboration that will celebrate the 250th Anniversary of America. The Business Excellence Awards are held each year to highlight and celebrate the pioneers currently shaping the environments of their respective industries. For adding such a beautiful and unique voice to Los Angeles’s cultural landscape, in turn building bridges of music and understanding between the city’s diverse multi-ethnic communities, the Los Angeles Jewish Symphony has been named the USA’s Leading Cultural Symphony Orchestra 2026. Contact: Noreen Green Company: Los Angeles Jewish Symphony Web Address: www.lajs.org Music has the power to bridge gaps and build strong connections across society. It allows us to share our individual and group experiences, engage with different cultures and communities, and learn the perspectives of all walks of life. For over 30 years, the Los Angeles Jewish Symphony has shared exceptional performances that explore Jewish culture, heritage, and experience, while also serving as an essential resource for budding composers and performing musicians. As the orchestra receives well-deserved recognition in the 2026 Business Excellence Awards, we caught up with Founding Artistic Director Dr. Noreen Green for more. T AIM-Jan26197
6 | Acquisition International, Business Excellence Awards 2026 Best Independent Prep School 2026 – South London Dulwich Prep & Senior offers families proven preparation, excellent opportunities, and the reassurance that every boy is known, supported, and challenged.” Based in South London, Dulwich Prep & Senior is a premier-choice independent school that offers a co-educational nursery for ages two to four, and an independent boys’ education from Reception to GCSE. The school combines the strengths of a warm, leading preparatory education with a distinctive, deliberately small and nurturing senior school option. Central to the philosophy at Dulwich is the concept of education that is tailored to how growing boys learn and develop. The school has a deep understanding of boys’ developmental stages, energy levels, and learning styles, and has leveraged this knowledge to create an environment that is designed to help them thrive. It combines outstanding teaching, exceptional pastoral care, and a strong focus on wellbeing to ensure that its pupils develop the skills and mindset necessary for the next phase of school life and beyond. “When families first consider boys-only education, questions naturally arise,” stated Louise. “In an increasingly co-educational world, why choose a single-sex school? At Dulwich Prep & Senior, the answer lies not in limiting boys’ experiences, but in expanding them. In an environment designed to help boys flourish, pupils can discover their full potential without feeling constrained by expectations or stereotypes.” Dulwich’s approach to creating this environment is rooted in its eight core values: Love, Courage, Gratitude, Humility, Justice, Service, Self-Discipline, and Honesty. This values-led framework is especially important, as far too many men and boys struggle to name emotions, ask for help, or find a space in which they can feel vulnerable. When boys learn to speak meaningfully about Love, Service, and Humility, they develop emotional literacy at a young age. As a result, these values become a bridge to deeper conversations about wellbeing and mental health, building habits that can last a lifetime. Rather than channelling pupils into narrow ideas of masculinity, Dulwich’s values teach them that strength includes kindness and leadership means lifting others. The school’s extensive co-curricular programme provides pupils with breadth in addition to depth, with more than 150 co-curricular club and activity sessions held each week. Clubs are grouped into the categories of sports, music, creative, academic, and cognitive enrichment, with examples including Amnesty International, Coding, Dodgeball, Drumming, Greek, Orchestra, Lego, Snooker, Young Writers, Yoga, and many more. The outcomes of this forward-thinking approach speak for themselves: Dulwich Prep & Senior has awarded seen more than 350 scholarships awarded since 2020, and 95% of boys secured their first-choice senior school. Yet beyond any metric, the school boasts something much more profound: a thriving community of boys who feel known, supported, and challenged; who have built friendships for life; and have been empowered to speak openly about what matters most to them. September 2025 saw the launch of Dulwich’s new senior school provision, with a deliberately small senior school comprising a maximum of 60 boys per each year group. This new offering provides the community with an alternative option to the traditional secondary education route, which typically offers larger year-group cohorts of more than 200 students. Of this expansion, Louise commented: “Taking this different approach enables us to really know every pupil and their family, tailoring our support where it matters most and providing a nurturing environment where every boy can be himself.” She continued: “We put heart into every part of a child’s journey. We don’t ask boys to fit a mould; we give them space to discover their own shape. That is the promise of values-led, boys-only education done right: not limitation but liberation.” For this pupil-centred, modernised approach to comprehensive boys’ education, Dulwich Prep & Senior has been named South London’s Best Independent Prep School 2026. We at Acquisition International magazine would like to congratulate the school on this well-earned success and wish the team luck in another year of delivering exceptional education! Contact: Stephen Gudgeon Company: Dulwich Prep & Senior Web Address: www.dulwichprepsenior.org.uk A pupil’s transition from classroom to career requires an in-depth education that covers every facet of modern life. This is becoming especially true for boys, who often face various challenges later in life due to not learning about emotions, vulnerability, and mental health. Dulwich Prep & Senior has set out to change this, with an outstanding academic and co-curricular educational programme that places each individual boy’s development at the heart of learning. As Dulwich is named in the Business Excellence Awards 2026, we heard more from Head Master, Louise Davidson. “

8 | Acquisition International, Business Excellence Awards 2026 Best Integrated Service Solutions Company 2026 In complex operating environments, organisations no longer want a patchwork of service providers managing different parts of their operations. They want a single trusted partner who takes full ownership of performance, accountability, and outcomes. This is the philosophy that defines Stallion Integrated. Built on a culture of 100% accountability and zero excuses, the company has grown into one of Africa’s most trusted integrated service partners. We spoke with Stallion Integrated’s Group MD - George Fitzroy following the company’s recognition in the Business Excellence Awards 2026. Contact: Carla Perreira Company: Stallion Integrated Web Address: www.stallion.co.za Headquartered in Johannesburg, Stallion Integrated has established itself as a leading integrated service solutions partner across Southern Africa, delivering a unified portfolio of services designed to support, protect, and enhance complex operational environments. Rather than offering isolated services, Stallion Integrated brings together a broad range of capabilities under a single operational structure. These include guarding and special operations, technology systems such as access control, CCTV and building management, remote site monitoring, facilities support, cleaning and hygiene services, fire suppression, pest control, and health and safety compliance. What distinguishes the company is not simply the breadth of services it provides, but the way in which those services are delivered — through a single command structure and one point of accountability for the client. This integrated approach removes the fragmentation that often comes with managing multiple service providers. Instead, clients benefit from streamlined oversight, coordinated service delivery, and a partner who takes full responsibility for performance across all operational touchpoints. The foundations of Stallion Integrated were laid in 1991 when the business began as a guarding company. From the outset, however, the company’s leadership recognised that true service excellence requires more than manpower. It requires discipline, ownership, and a culture that demands results. Over the past three decades, Stallion has steadily expanded its capabilities in response to the evolving needs of its clients. In 2018, the company formally transitioned into an integrated services provider, bringing multiple operational disciplines together under one organisational framework. Today, that framework allows Stallion Integrated to support clients across a diverse range of industries including corporate and commercial environments, retail centres, residential estates, industrial facilities, healthcare and education institutions, hospitality venues, mining operations, and critical infrastructure projects. At the centre of this model is the company’s 100/Zero philosophy — 100% accountability, zero excuses. This principle guides every level of the organisation, from frontline personnel to executive leadership. It ensures that responsibility for service delivery is never fragmented, and that every member of the Stallion team understands that outcomes matter more than explanations. For clients, this translates into clarity and confidence. Rather than coordinating multiple contractors, they engage with a single integrated partner who assumes responsibility for service delivery across disciplines. “We believe that integration only works when there is clear ownership,” George explains. “Our clients don’t want multiple service providers pointing fingers when something goes wrong. They want one partner who takes responsibility for performance. That is exactly what our structure provides.” Delivering on this promise requires a workforce that shares the same mindset. Stallion Integrated places significant emphasis on cultivating a high-performance culture rooted in discipline, reliability, and personal accountability. Recruitment focuses not only on technical capability but on individuals who demonstrate the character and work ethic required to operate in demanding service environments. Once onboard, employees are supported through structured development programmes designed to strengthen skills, build leadership capability, and reinforce the company’s operational standards. This investment in people has created a workforce that is capable and deeply aligned with the company’s culture of ownership and performance. “Our people understand that service excellence is not a slogan,” George says. “It is a standard that must be delivered every day. The 100/Zero culture is something we live throughout the organisation.” It is this culture, combined with Stallion Integrated’s unified service model, that has positioned the company as a trusted partner to organisations operating in some of the most demanding environments across Southern Africa. By providing one command structure, one service partner, and one point of accountability, Stallion Integrated simplifies complexity for its clients while maintaining consistently high service standards across multiple disciplines. As organisations continue to seek partners who can deliver both operational efficiency and dependable service outcomes, Stallion Integrated stands out as a company that has built its reputation on ownership, discipline, and results. For its commitment to integrated service excellence and its culture of accountability, Stallion Integrated has been named Best Integrated Service Solutions Company 2026.
Business Excellence Awards 2026, Acquisition International | 9 Leaders in AI-Driven Personalised IVF Care 2026 – Turkey ocated inside Dunyam Hospital in Kayseri, Turkey, Kayseri Dunyam Tup Bebek (the Kayseri Dunyam IVF Centre) is an innovative IVF clinic specialising in personalised fertility care and AI-driven IVF treatment. At the helm of this clinic, Prof. Dr Gökalp Öner leverages his status as an esteemed professional in the realm of reproductive medicine, specifically IVF, to help thousands of patients. Highlights of his work include pioneering Turkey’s first clinical applications of AIassisted embryo selection and endometrial assessments. Before we dive deeper into any specifics of Prof. Dr Gökalp’s innovations in this space, it pays to go back further to touch on his education, which offered a taste of the excellence he would go on to achieve. From being one of the highest ranked students in the country during his high-school years to becoming the youngest Associate Professor of Medicine in Turkey when he secured the position at Muğla University in 2015, Prof. Dr Gökalp’s formative years were defined by continuously pushing boundaries in the world of medicine. This pioneering streak has continued into his work as the director of the Kayseri Dunyam IVF Centre, a duty which Prof. Dr Gökalp carries out alongside serving as a faculty member in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology in the Faculty of Medicine at Istanbul’s Aydın University. Across his work at this innovative IVF clinic in Turkey, Prof. Dr Gökalp’s aim is simple: to integrate scientific excellence within clinical practice, all whilst using artificial intelligence in a safe, ethical, and fully patient-centred manner. Commenting on what this means for him and his team, Prof. Dr Gökalp told us: “We aim not only to improve today’s fertility treatments but also to contribute to shaping the future of reproductive medicine and to represent Turkey strongly on the global scientific stage.” With Prof. Dr Gökalp completing a postgraduate course at Harvard in advanced embryo selection and AI-driven IVF treatment – earning a perfect score of 100/100 and full membership in Sigma Xi – he has certainly planted Turkey’s flag atop this mountain. Of course, Prof. Dr Gökalp could not do any of this alone, and successful IVF treatment is a team approach, as he explained: “Our physicians, embryologists, nurses, and administrative staff work in close coordination with a shared sense of purpose. Every team member plays an active role in delivering a personalised, patient-centred treatment journey.” It is this sense of camaraderie that allows the team behind the Kayseri Dunyam IVF Centre to solve some of the major problems inherent in this industry, discussed further below. Prof. Dr Gökalp has identified one of the key challenges of reproductive medicine today as being the increasing age of patients looking to become mothers, partnered with expectations rising significantly as a result of recent technological advancements. Against these developments, a backdrop of ever-changing ethical considerations, regulatory frameworks, and data security has emerged, making a setting that was already high pressure even more so. However, Prof. Dr Gökalp and his team have come up with solutions. “We continuously invest in artificial intelligence, data-driven decisionmaking, and personalised treatment protocols”, he said. “We integrate academic research directly into clinical practice, actively participate in national and international congresses, and present our proprietary technologies to benefit from peer feedback.” Prof. Dr Gökalp summarised: “Viewing science as an integral part of daily clinical care is what allows us to remain at the forefront of the field”, a position which they do not plan on giving up. 2026 is set to be another strong year for Prof. Dr Gökalp and the team behind the Kayseri Dunyam IVF Centre, with the former set to serve as the head of the first IVF Congress at Erciyes University and the latter delighted to announce that their AI-based fertility project has been selected as a finalist at the Doctor Club Awards, reflecting recognition of their work growing both exponentially and internationally. We are delighted to contribute to this by featuring Kayseri Dunyam Tup Bebek in this prestigious programme. Contact: Prof. Dr Gökalp Öner Company: Kayseri Dunyam Tup Bebek Web Address: https://www.kayseritupbebek.com/ Artificial intelligence in reproductive medicine has the potential to forever change this space, ushering in a new era of AI-driven IVF treatment defined by developments such as advanced embryo selection. Spearheading this shift in Turkey is Prof. Dr Gökalp Öner, one of the country’s leading experts in the field and the man in charge of Kayseri Dunyam Tup Bebek, an innovative IVF clinic. With him and his team being celebrated in this programme, we caught up with Prof. Dr Gökalp for more. L
10 | Acquisition International, Business Excellence Awards 2026 Best Team & Personal Development Coaching Centre 2026 – Germany With more than three decades of professional experience and a career that began in dentistry, Sven Bartosch has become a trusted mentor for individuals, teams, and organisations seeking clarity, purpose, and sustainable development. The work of Sven Bartosch Impulse has now been recognised in the 2026 Business Excellence Awards, where the organisation founded by Sven Bartosch was named Germany’s Best Team and Personal Development Coaching Centre. At the core of Sven Bartosch’s work lies a concept he developed himself: Philanthropic Coaching. “We can only shape tomorrow powerfully if we are truly present in the here and now. ” Coaching the Human Within the System Philanthropic Coaching, developed by Sven Bartosch, is based on the idea that people do not live in isolated roles, but within a dynamic system of relationships, responsibilities, and aspirations. Rather than separating professional success from personal fulfilment, Sven Bartosch’s method views life as an interconnected whole. Central to the philosophy of Sven Bartosch are three dimensions of life: the personal, the private, and the professional. The personal dimension concerns the individual – the “me, myself, and I”. It focuses on values, identity, and personal meaning. The private dimension describes the individual within their inner circle: family, partners, and close communities. The professional dimension includes work, leadership, and collaboration with teams and organisations. “Traditional coaching often focuses on individual areas of life,” Sven Bartosch explains. “Today we talk about work-life balance. But life should not be a balancing act – it should be a balanced whole.” Through this approach, Sven Bartosch helps clients understand what truly matters in each area of their lives and align these dimensions so that personal, private, and professional life support one another. A Method Developed Through Experience Sven Bartosch developed Philanthropic Coaching over many years of practical work with professionals from a wide range of industries. In 2014, Sven Bartosch founded Sven Bartosch Impulse, establishing himself as an independent coach and mentor supported by a flexible network of freelancers. Rather than relying on traditional marketing, the work of Sven Bartosch has grown largely through recommendations and word-of-mouth. “In such a personal field as development coaching, trust cannot be created through campaigns,” Sven Bartosch says. “Trust grows through real impact.” Today, around 60% of the clients of Sven Bartosch Impulse come from the dental and medical sector, including dentists, oral and maxillofacial surgeons, and entire practice teams. Drawing on more than 33 years of experience in this environment, Sven Bartosch understands the professional challenges faced by medical practitioners particularly well. Clients of Sven Bartosch also include medical technology companies, public institutions, and professionals from many other fields. Creating Meaning, Not Just Performance While many coaching programmes focus on increasing efficiency, the work of Sven Bartosch centres on helping people understand themselves and act with clarity. “My work always begins with one central question,” Sven Bartosch explains: “What does a fulfilling life mean – for this person, this team, this organisation?” According to Sven Bartosch, no consultant can answer this question for someone else. The answer lies within the individual. The role of Sven Bartosch is to guide clients in discovering it. Through this process, individuals and teams working with Sven Bartosch develop a deeper awareness of their strengths, motivations, and values, enabling them to make decisions that are both effective and meaningful. The work of Sven Bartosch is guided by core principles including loyalty, empathy, consistency, solution orientation, and genuine respect for the individual. Coaching, in the philosophy of Sven Bartosch, is not about making people more functional, but about helping them become clearer, stronger, and more authentic in the way they live and work. Recognition and Growing Demand The distinctive perspective of Sven Bartosch has earned growing recognition over the years. Highlights include speaking engagements such as the Hessen Tax Chamber Day, as well as appearances alongside personalities including Dr. Markus Merk, Joey Kelly, and Maria HöflRiesch, which Sven Bartosch describes as “inspiring encounters on equal terms”. Another notable project for Sven Bartosch was doing a workshop with the practice of Prof. Dr. Günter Dhom and Dr. Octavio Weinhold, demonstrating how a human-centred coaching approach can also transform organisational culture.

12 | Acquisition International, Business Excellence Awards 2026 Leading Energy & Commodities Trading Risk Management Software 2026 - Europe Established in 2008, Enuit is a Houston-based specialist provider of Energy and Commodity Trading and Risk Management (ETRM/CTRM) software, with operations also in China, Singapore, Japan, London, and India. Its award-winning, industry-leading platform, Entrade is a digital system developed to capture, process, and analyse the full lifecycle of commodity trading activity, from the moment the deal is executed through to risk management, logistics and scheduling, invoicing and settlement, and accounting and reporting. We speak to Mark Tredway of the firm’s Global Marketing and EU Sales department to learn more about the innovative platform. Company name: Enuit LLC Contact name: Mark Tredway Website: www.enuit.com Currently, the commodity and energy trades are facing very real daily pressures, including high volatility, tight margins, and rapidly changing risks. Many firms are trying to navigate a shift in supply routes, logistics constraints, and increased operational complexity. This is all while regulation and audit expectations continue to rise, with teams expected to increase productivity with fewer manual processes. Enuit is helping to make the lives easier of these leaders in trading, risk, operations, finance, and IT, who are dealing with daily market pressures and in need of reliable visibility. The firm gives them the means to move away from fragmented spreadsheets and disconnect by providing them with a single platform to streamline operations between front, middle, and back-office teams. It allows them to see exposures, positions, P&L (profit and loss), and operational status, while simultaneously automating manual processes that could otherwise cause risk, delay, and costly errors. Enuit’s Entrade platform equips traders and risk teams with an all-in-one tool that enhances decision making and control at the earliest stages of the trade lifecycle, supporting the real-world complexity of commodity trading, including both physical and financial trading, and the workflows that surround it. The core functions of the software include trade capture and validation across commodities and deal types; real-time pricing and market data integration; risk analytics and exposure management; automated reporting and audit-ready outputs; scheduling and logistics operations; and regulatory compliance support through controls, audit trails, and consistent data capture. This is while Entrade E7 includes a new user interface, alongside integrated AI capability designed to solve real-world problems, helping users work faster and find what they are looking for with ease, while reducing issues within everyday workflows, particularly when teams are under time constraints. Overall, Enuit’s objective is to provide immediate, single-source insights to empower all teams to make better decisions; automate manual processes to reduce errors and improve efficiency; and integrate physical and paper trading data to support accurate hedging, exposure management, and settlement. Guiding the Enuit team in everything they do are core values of client-first partnership, collaborating with the client to solve their real operational problems and achieve transformative outcomes; trust and integrity, because risk management depends on accurate data, strong controls, and transparency; pragmatic innovation, remaining at the leading edge, always focused on effectively solving real issues; and constant improvement, so the platform evolves alongside the ever-changing market. These values allow the firm to build long-term trust with its client base – Its clients know they can rely on its technology, and that it was built by people who understand their world. In turn, adoption improves, operational risk reduces, and their business can grow with confidence. “We achieve excellence by staying outcomesled,” says Mark. “We focus on control, clarity, speed, and adoption. We also partner closely with clients during implementation and beyond, because excellence is not just software quality, it is how successfully the business runs on it.” He continues, “Our staff are the main reason clients trust us. CTRM and ETRM systems sit at the centre of trading operations, risk, logistics, and financial outcomes, so expertise and accountability really matter. “Our culture is collaborative and client focused. Teams work closely across product, engineering, implementation, and client-facing roles. That alignment helps us move faster, deliver consistently, and keep the product grounded in what traders and operators actually need.” Mark continues, “Being recognised as Leading Energy & Commodities Trading Risk Management Software 2026 is a meaningful validation of that direction.” We selected Enuit for this award following our thorough research and merit-based evaluation of the company’s impact in the ETRM/CTRM space and its potential for continued success. We’re proud to celebrate Enuit’s success as its depth of knowledge and proven track record in supporting energy and commodity trading firms. Furthermore, our judging panel also considered the strength of Enuit’s reputation and customer outcomes, reflected in the firm’s client-first approach, ongoing product evolution, and the practical value Entrade delivers.
