Faces Consent Founders Shortlisted for Technology Entrepreneur of the Year at the Great British Entrepreneur Awards 2024
June 27, 2024 — London, UK: Faces Consent founders Ashley Simpson-Davies and Ben O’Brien have been shortlisted for the prestigious Technology Entrepreneur of the Year award at the Great British Entrepreneur Awards 2024. The awards ceremony will be held this November, celebrating the remarkable achievements of entrepreneurs across the UK.
A Journey from Necessity to Innovation
Five years ago, Ashley and Ben launched Faces Consent as a simple online consent form app. The idea was born out of necessity when they identified a gap in the market for easily accessible, pre-filled consent forms for their aesthetics company, Kanvas. Frustrated with the lack of suitable solutions, they decided to build their own platform to streamline consent form management.
What began as an internal tool for their clinic quickly gained traction. Friends and colleagues in similar clinics saw the benefits and wanted to use the app for their own practices. What started with just a handful of users rapidly grew into hundreds, and it became evident that Ashley and Ben had created something special.
Realizing the significant impact their app could have on the industry, they made it their mission to make Faces the leading app for practitioners, built by practitioners. Their goal was clear: to make running a business as easy and effortless as possible.
Innovating for the Industry
Ashley Simpson-Davies shared, "We initially developed Faces Consent to address our own needs, but it quickly became apparent how valuable it was for the wider industry. Being shortlisted for the Great British Entrepreneur Awards is a testament to our journey and the incredible support we've received from the practitioner community."
