Street Group founders shortlisted for national EY award
Heather Staff and Tom Staff, co-founders of Street Group, are among the finalists in the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year 2026. The pair are among 12 entrepreneurs representing 10 businesses shortlisted for the recognition.
The shortlist was drawn from 90 regional finalists. Street Group, based in Manchester, is the only business from the North of England to reach the national final.
What it means for the lettings sector
Street Group operates in the PropTech space, a segment of the UK property market that supplies software and technology services to letting agents and other property businesses. The co-founders' progression to the national final places a PropTech business alongside the wider field of shortlisted entrepreneurs.
For letting agents and inventory clerks, the recognition points to the continued prominence of property technology firms within the broader UK business awards landscape. The EY Entrepreneur Of The Year programme is described as a prestigious recognition, and the 2026 edition has narrowed its field to 10 businesses from an initial 90 regional finalists.
The shortlist in context
The 12 entrepreneurs shortlisted represent 10 businesses in total. Street Group's position as the sole North of England representative among the national finalists stands out given the regional spread of the wider shortlist.
Further details of the final outcome, timings, and the full list of finalists were not included in the source report.
