Champions Speakers Shines Bright as a Finalist at Lloyds British Business Excellence Awards 2026
In a remarkable feat, Champions Speakers has earned the prestigious distinction of being a finalist in two key categories at the Lloyds British Business Excellence Awards 2026. This accolade highlights the agency's dedication and commitment to excellence within the competitive landscape of the UK business sector.
Celebrating Business Excellence
Champions Speakers, with its strong presence in London, the East Midlands, and Dubai, is nominated for both The Gerald Edelman Family Business of the Year award and the Blick Rothenberg Mid-Market Growth Business of the Year category. This double recognition is particularly impressive given the record-breaking number of entries submitted this year, positioning Champions Speakers among the elite growth-oriented businesses in the United Kingdom.
A Proud Moment for Champions Speakers
Jack Hayes, the Director of Champions Speakers, expressed immense pride at the shortlisting, stating, “We are so proud to have been shortlisted for these two awards and to be among so many amazing growing businesses.” His sentiments reflect the agency's commitment to excellence and the drive to be recognized among an outstanding group of innovators and entrepreneurs.
Looking Towards the Future
The nominations come on the heels of Champions Speakers being awarded SME of the Year at the British Business Awards earlier this year. This honor, which was presented by Hollywood actor George Clooney, serves as a testament to the agency's substantial growth over the past two decades, establishing it as Europe’s largest and most trusted keynote speakers agency.
A Supporting Community
According to Amanda Murphy, CEO of Lloyds Business and Commercial Banking, “Behind every successful business is a story of ambition, determination, and innovation.” This statement emphasizes the importance of supportive environments that foster entrepreneurial spirit, with Champions Speakers leading the way by actively contributing to both innovation and community development.
As the company prepares to present its entry to a panel of expert judges on September 18th, all eyes are on Champions Speakers as it vies for victory during the awards ceremony scheduled for November 10th at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London. Regardless of the outcome, the agency has undoubtedly set a benchmark for excellence and growth in the business arena.
