CLUB HUB AWARDS 2025 - FINALISTS ANNOUNCED

Local business owner Andrew Banks who runs Koku-Ryu Martial Arts has been announced as a finalist for the Attraction or Venue Of The Year category of the Club Hub Awards 2025.

The Club Hub Awards are for businesses in the children’s activity sector and are offered across 15 categories. 75 finalists have been shortlisted from 261 applications, representing 195 businesses (Club Hub members). The standard of applications was very high and represented a diverse range of kids activities, clubs and related businesses.

The Club Hub Awards are the only national awards for activity providers with entry by application form only, no voting. The awards are independently judged by a panel of judges and finalists are shortlisted based on their commitment to excellence, innovation and growth of their business, demonstrated through their business performance, achievements, brand values and passion for what they do.

Award winners will be announced at the Club Hub Event 2025, Saturday 10 May, Macdonald Burlington Hotel, Birmingham. It’s a full day event for businesses owners working with children and families, with guest speakers, workshops and networking, to support their professional and personal development. 

“Huge congratulations to all our 2025 finalists, I can’t wait to celebrate all your achievements at the Club Hub Event in May. The children’s activities industry is so important to so many and it is great to showcase the best of the best to the whole of the UK”.

Tessa Day, Founder and Director of Club Hub UK
