Club Hub Award Finalists 2020
Club Hub Award Finalists 2020 are independently judged by a panel of expert judges, most of whom are children’s activity professionals or specialists in their field.
Our judges selected award winners based on their commitment to excellence, innovation and growth of their business through their business performance, achievements, brand values and passion for what they do. Judges saw this through the answer quality during the award submission process as well as independent research into each nominee.
We had 1019 applications from 388 businesses that entered this year’s awards. 100 more than last year! Let’s take a look at our Club Hub Award Finalists 2020.
