Nationwide bereavement notification service Settld has been named the top UK Mobile and Emerging Technologies StartUp of the Year at the 2024 UK StartUp Awards.
Settld, which became a service of The Estate Registry in June this year, was also selected as a national finalist in a separate category at the Startup Awards.
Over 800 startups from across the UK competed for national recognition in over thirty-five categories at the event, hosted at the Ideas Fest event in Hertfordshire. Luke Cheadle, Head of Operations at The Estate Registry, which owns Settld, said:
“We are delighted to see Settld recognised in these awards. Congratulations to all those who took part in the competition.
Our purpose is to simplify end-of-life admin and to be a strong voice for bereaved consumers everywhere. Recognition by the judges gives us fresh ambition to make things easier for all families dealing with the death of a loved one.”
Vicky Wilson, Chief Customer Officer at The Estate Registry said:
“This award is a real testament to the hard work, dedication and compassion of our team. We are thrilled to be recognised at the UK StartUp Awards. Settld was born from personal experience of loss and out of frustration at the difficulty of tying up loose ends with service providers. As part of The Estate Registry, we are continuing to build on our services for those who struggle to navigate end-of-life admin when handling the affairs of someone who has died.”
