Club Hub Online Awards 2020 – 16th of May

Club Hub was delighted to announce 15 award winners for 2020 at an online event on Saturday 16 May. Club Hub Online Awards 2020 winners were selected from 6 finalists in each category, who had been shortlisted from a total of 1019 applications, representing 388 kids activity businesses. The standard of finalists was extremely high and represented a diverse range of kids activities, clubs and related businesses.

The awards were independently judged by a panel of expert judges, most of whom are children’s activity professionals or specialists in their field. They selected the 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.

The event and award ceremony should have been held in Birmingham on 16 May, but has been postponed until 2021 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The event is designed to help kids activity providers to grow their business through insight and tips on social media, brand awareness, marketing, franchising, sales, customer service and everything involved in running a kids club. It’s a full-day event, including networking opportunities with 100s of people from the kids club sector from all over the UK.

“It’s such a tough time for all businesses at the moment, especially the kids activity providers sector. I really wanted to help them and give them a little boost with this online event to announce the winners and enjoy their achievements on the day that we should have been together in Birmingham. It was lovely to see how  supportive everyone was to each other, it felt like we were actually all in the same room. I am so glad my team and I managed to get it all ready in time. Looking forward to the 15th of May 2021 but for now a huge Congratulations to all”

Tessa Robinson, Founder and Director of Club Hub UK
