Meet the judges: Ren Kapur 

Ren Kapur MBE // Social Entrepreneur

In 2013, Ren founded X-Forces Enterprise (XFE), the UK's premier organisation for enterprise and start-up skills in the wider military community. She has held a lifelong passion for the Armed Forces and, in 2017, was appointed a Lt Col. in the Army Reserves.

Ren’s passion to support equality through learning and providing opportunities has meant that she has been an advisor to Home Office, BEIS and the Cabinet Office. Other projects include supporting Syrian Refugees, Women and Girls in Business and Reducing the Reoffending rates. Ren has also championed policy changes and has four successes under her belt.

A social entrepreneur, Ren has harnessed her experience to enable individuals and communities to support themselves and thrive through enterprise. In doing so she has brought together corporate, government, and charity stakeholders at the very highest levels.

The work and appointments Ren holds all lean towards supporting communities to prosper through enterprise and is keen advocate for social entrepreneurship.

In 2016 Ren was awarded an MBE in the Queen’s 90th Birthday Honours List for service to Entrepreneurship.
