Imran Savas Media Coverage

---

For journalists, producers, editors, researchers, and commissioners seeking expert commentary, interviews, biographies, photography, and press assets, we've got you covered. If you can't find what you need, we'll send it within 24 hours.

Who Imran Savas is

He built Tape UK into a national, award-winning business from nothing — no investment, no co-founder, no safety net, no privileged starting point. Emerging from a single-parent household, he founded the company in 2019 with little more than a clear vision and an unshakeable work ethic, growing it into a multi-award-winning platform that now serves entrepreneurs and small businesses across the UK.

Imran Savas has been recognised more than 25 times for his contributions to business, leadership and social impact including Entrepreneur of the Year in both 2024 and 2026. He's appeared on BBC, ITV and Islam Channel, was featured alongside Annie Lennox and Levi Roots in the official MBCC 10-year publication, and delivered a TEDx talk later promoted on TED.com alongside Bill Gates, Simon Sinek and Mel Robbins.

Twice, he's been offered substantial corporate investment. Twice, he's said no because his business, and his independence, have never been for sale.

But the accolades tell only part of the story. Whether the subject is entrepreneurship, leadership, faith, politics, humanitarian issues or social justice, Imran Savas is known for his willingness to challenge conventional thinking in pursuit of better outcomes for people, businesses and society. 

Through business, public speaking and writing, Imran Savas encourages entrepreneurs, leaders, organisations and communities to think differently, lead with greater purpose, and leave the world better than they found it.

Success, he believes, is measured not by what we accumulate, but by the lives we improve.
