The CLUB HUB AWARDS 2023 FINALISTS have been announced!

Introducing the Club Hub Awards, the premier national recognition for activity providers. Unlike other awards, entry to the Club Hub Awards is exclusively through application forms, with no voting involved. The awards distinguish themselves by employing a distinguished panel of expert judges, who independently assess the submissions, shortlist the finalists, and ultimately choose the winners across various award categories.

The judges’ selection process focuses on key criteria such as unwavering commitment to excellence, innovation, and business growth. These qualities are demonstrated through outstanding business performance, remarkable achievements, adherence to brand values, and a genuine passion for their respective fields.

Spanning across 16 categories, the Club Hub Awards celebrate the best in the industry!

This year, there were a staggering 420 applications received, representing 215 businesses and encompassing a diverse range of children’s activities, clubs, and related enterprises.

The competition is fierce, with the standard of applications reaching unprecedented heights.

After careful consideration, the judges have shortlisted 93 exceptional finalists who truly embody the spirit of excellence and distinction within their respective fields.
