Local businesswoman, Tessa Robinson from Club Hub UK, has recently been awarded the Business of the Year, in the Business Success Recognition Awards 2022 and also been shortlisted as a finalist for the Best Businesswoman working with Children & Families award. Club Hub is the UK’s largest kids activities directory for newborns to 18 years. Club Hub also runs annual, national awards to celebrate the achievements of the children’s activity providers it promotes.
Stacey Calder established the Business Success Recognition Awards, sponsored by Breal Credit Management, to celebrate the fantastic work being done by businesses and individuals within the UK business community. These inaugural awards are open to all organisations nationwide regardless of size or maturity. The Business Success team independently judged over 600 entries and shortlisted the finalists, and a team of expert judges selected the winners for each award. The winners were announced at the Recognition Awards ceremony on Saturday 18th June, at the Eastside Rooms, Birmingham.
Tessa says
“I still can’t believe it! I was enjoying the evening so much that by the time the ‘Business of the Year’ award winner was read out as the last award of the night I didn’t hear my name. I was so shocked that my event manager, Emma Hewitt, was cheering and clapping well before my brain had registered what had actually just happened. I slowly walked up to the stage realising I hadn’t even prepared any type of speech. I thanked the sponsor, Linda Reynolds – Personal Travel Agent With Your Coop, who told me she had bought the winner, me, a bottle of champagne and an afternoon tea at Claridge’s in London. I then stepped towards the MC of the night, Dave Sharpe to answer his questions about being the owner of Club Hub UK. Luckily my acting days kicked into play and I managed to give surprisingly good answers. I thanked Stacey and her team for all their amazing hard work on putting on such a fantastic awards event and congratulated all the finalists and winners in the room for all their hard work in running their own businesses through the past few challenging years. It was then time for me to take lots of lovely photos of myself and my new shiny trophy”.
The Best Businesswomen Awards have announced their finalists for 2022, an incredible selection of businesswomen from across the UK. The past two years have tested business owners to the limit, and these determined women have continued to drive their businesses forwards. The judging panel was impressed by the creativity, tenacity and excellent business acumen demonstrated in the selected finalists. The Best Businesswomen Awards are designed to recognise the achievement of female entrepreneurs from a wide range of industries. All of whom are excelling in their chosen field,
Debbie Gilbert, the organiser of The Best Businesswomen Awards, said ‘This is the 8th year of these prestigious awards, and despite the difficult circumstances business owners have faced, these businesswomen have shone through the dark times. Our judging panel, all business experts, were blown away by the quality of the entrants. All our finalists are all shining examples of being successful entrepreneurs who have proved their success to our judges.’
Tessa Robinson says:
“I am so excited to be a finalist again for the “Best Businesswoman working with Children & Families”. I was a finalist back in 2019 and even though I didn’t win I had such an amazing evening with all the fantastic Best Businesswoman finalists. The atmosphere was incredible and it gave everyone such a boost and reminder that all the hard work really does pay off. At this time I would love to thank my amazing team, Sam, Suzanna, Emma, Kelly and Rebbecca who all put absolutely everything into making Club Hub the best it can possibly be. I would also like to thank my fiance, family and friends for their ongoing support throughout the last six years that Club Hub has been running”.
The Gala Final will be held at the Hilton Wembley on 30th September 2022, where the Gold Winners of each category will be announced.
