Our 2026 Greater London Business Award Winners

Making international expansion more structured and commercially achievable has earned We Are Globex the title of Business Consultancy of the Year in the Business Consultancy Awards.

Strong growth has been matched by practical results at Deecon Consulting Ltd, winner of Independent Business Consultancy of the Year in the Business Consultancy Awards. The London-based consultancy has grown from 15 to 65 employees, increased annual revenue from £3 million to more than £10 million and expanded into several regulated and public-sector markets.

Built from direct experience of delivering complex change programmes, Transform With IMPACT is our Business Training and Education of the Year winner in the Business Training and Education Awards.

Led by a team of working mothers, the company has built its service around trust, consistency and respect for each client’s space. Its recognition reflects a people-focused operating model in which professional standards are supported by personal accountability and pride in the work delivered.

Adaptability across demanding environments has brought two awards to LNC Services: Cleaning Team of the Year and Family Business of the Year in the Cleaning Services Awards. The family-led company has delivered specialist cleaning across food production, education, construction and heritage settings, including responding at short notice when existing provision has failed. Its growth into a wider facilities partner has retained the direct communication and hands-on leadership that established its reputation, while giving clients access to a broader range of coordinated services.

Fair employment practices and consistent residential service have earned Cleaning Express Services Ltd the title of Residential Cleaning Service of the Year in the Cleaning Services Awards. What began as founder Ana Kravcova’s self-employed cleaning work has developed into a substantial London business serving close to 1,000 clients. Its commitment to paying at least the London Living Wage, investing in training and helping more than 100 Ukrainian refugees into employment demonstrates how service quality can be strengthened by valuing the people responsible for delivering it.

Improving access to professional careers is at the centre of Career Catalyst, the programme that secured Investec the Social Impact Initiative of the Year award in the Community and Social Impact Awards. Developed with Arrival, the six-month programme combines skills sessions, professional insight, networking and individual coaching for unemployed and underemployed young adults. Across its first three cohorts, it supported 66 participants, with follow-up findings showing improved confidence and meaningful employment outcomes despite a particularly challenging early-career job market.

Technology has been introduced with a clear purpose at We-are-HR, winner of Small Business Digital Transformation in the Digital Transformation Awards. The organisation has connected online learning, customer relationship management, assessment moderation, finance and learner support within a coordinated digital ecosystem. Its in-house artificial intelligence tools and learner resource hub have reduced administration, improved access to support and allowed a small team to serve students more efficiently without losing the human element of its education provision.

Responding to concerns around digital overload, TTfone receives the Innovation Award in the Digital Transformation Awards. Its TT990 smartphone combines essential Android functions with a simplified interface intended to make modern mobile technology more accessible and less distracting. The device reflects a considered approach to innovation, using technology to reduce complexity rather than continually adding features that may not serve the needs of every user.

A personalised teaching style and strong focus on safe driving have earned Sonny of DWS Driver Training recognition as Driving Instructor of the Year in the Driving Tuition Awards. With a reported 90 per cent first-time pass rate and more than 100 five-star Google reviews, Sonny has established a reputation for patience, clear communication and confidence-building instruction. His lessons extend beyond test preparation to hazard awareness, independent decision-making and the habits required for responsible driving over the longer term.

Inclusive instruction is a central priority for Clean Driving Future, our Driving School of the Year in the Driving Tuition Awards. Alongside learner and instructor development, the school is building specialist provision for people with disabilities and additional needs. Its plans to train instructors in inclusive practice, develop tailored programmes and work more closely with local driving professionals address an area in which many learners continue to face limited choice.

Combining intelligent digital triage with a responsible contractor model has secured Easefix the title of Facilities Management Company of the Year in the Facilities Management Awards. By reviewing photographic and video evidence before dispatching an operative, the business reports first-time fix rates of between 85 and 90 per cent across a national maintenance portfolio. Its same-day contractor payment policy, rigorous compliance checks and work to reduce repeat visits demonstrate how operational efficiency can benefit clients, suppliers and the wider environment.

Professional culinary education designed specifically for younger learners has made En Cuisine Cooking School the Rising Star Award winner in the Food Industry Awards. Its small-group classes teach children and teenagers practical skills including food hygiene, safe preparation, organisation and nutrition, while encouraging confidence and independence.

Behind the retail activity of one of the world’s busiest airports is Bradford Swissport Ltd, named Logistics Company of the Year in the Haulage and Logistics Awards. Operating Heathrow’s Consolidation Centre around the clock, the company manages secure ambient, chilled and frozen supply chains for retailers and airport partners. Its proprietary tracking platform, strong customer satisfaction results and investment in automation, safety and lower-emission transport support a complex operation in which reliability and compliance are essential.

Recovery-focused care and greater personal independence sit at the heart of Supported Living Services Ltd, winner of Mental Health Service Excellence in the Health Care Awards.

Independent inspection findings have recognised its person-centred care, effective safeguarding and well-led services, while its wider community work helps residents access training, volunteering, employment and stronger social connections.

Rebuilding a successful practice in a new part of London has required persistence and close community engagement from Melvyn Hughes Osteopathy, winner of Best Alternative Therapy Provider in the Health and Wellbeing Awards. The seven-day clinic combines osteopathy with medical acupuncture, rehabilitation and sports massage, supported by home visits and more affordable treatment packages. More than 400 five-star reviews and active relationships with local healthcare professionals reflect an approach grounded in accessibility, patient feedback and collaborative care.

Personal experience of chronic health concerns informed the creation of Amani Kaite Ltd, named Best Health and Wellbeing Coach in the Health and Wellbeing Awards. Over seven years, the functional nutrition business has supported more than 350 individual clients and delivered over 40 workplace wellness sessions. Its work considers not only the management of symptoms, but also how improved health can help people regain the energy and confidence to pursue wider personal and professional goals.

A clinically governed approach to longevity medicine has earned Reborne Longevity the Rising Star Award in the Health and Wellbeing Awards. Operating as a CQC-licensed independent hospital, Reborne combines advanced diagnostics, physician-led care and personalised health planning.

Careful matching rather than high-volume placement is the basis of Gaia Nannies, winner of Permanent Recruitment Agency of the Year in the Recruitment Awards. Founded by two Norland-trained childcare professionals, the agency considers household dynamics, values and long-term compatibility alongside qualifications and experience. Its referral-led growth, accessible communication and support for both families and nannies reflect an understanding that successful childcare recruitment depends on trust and lasting professional relationships.

Building a specialist executive recruitment company almost entirely through recommendations is one of the achievements behind the recognition of Emma Stride of The Executive Search as CEO or Director of the Year in the Recruitment Awards. Emma founded the company independently and developed a quality-led approach to placing Executive and Personal Assistants. Her emphasis on rapport, cultural alignment and long-term retention has helped the business grow while maintaining the personal judgement and integrity on which its reputation was built.

Independent hospitality with a clear commitment to responsible employment has earned Tropic House Group the title of Small Business of the Year in the Small Business Awards. Through its Peckham venues, founders Jason Hoffman and Olga Zajac have combined commercial experience, creative direction and local investment to build a loyal customer base. Living Wage, Good Business Charter and Disability Confident accreditations support a wider operating model that brings together hospitality, inclusion, ethical governance and community contribution.

Introducing children to performing arts from as young as six months has made The Petite Performers Ltd our Dance Studio of the Year in the Sports and Leisure Awards. Founded by professional dancer twins Emily and Michelle Cardno, the programme uses play, music and encouragement to make dance accessible during early childhood. Its expansion to more than 27 locations across the UK and United States has retained the warm, child-centred approach on which the original classes were built.

Helping customers navigate complex online decisions through natural conversation has secured Firney Ltd the AI Innovation of the Year award in the Technology Awards. For Direct Ferries, the London technology company developed an artificial intelligence booking assistant capable of supporting more than 300 common enquiries across thousands of routes.

Drawing on both professional expertise and lived experience, Danny Rahim Coaching has been recognised with the Health and Wellbeing Impact Award in the Health and Wellbeing Awards. With more than a decade of experience, Danny has coached over 2,500 people across more than 50 organisations, supporting improvements in mental wellbeing, confidence, leadership and performance. His approach combines positive psychology, coaching psychology and practical strategy, helping clients understand unhelpful patterns, make clearer decisions and build progress that can be sustained.

A Capital Built on Achievement

The 2026 Greater London winners demonstrate that innovation is most valuable when it responds to a clearly understood problem. Across this year’s award recipients, technology has been used to simplify complex journeys, improve access to learning, strengthen operational visibility and deliver more personalised support. These developments are grounded in practical application rather than novelty alone.

People and relationships are equally prominent throughout the results. Our winners have invested in fair employment, inclusive recruitment, individual development, community opportunity and services shaped around the needs of those who use them. Whether operating internationally or within a particular London neighbourhood, they have shown that sustainable growth can be supported by accountability, trust and responsible decision-making.

Together, these achievements offer a broad view of Greater London’s business community. The capital continues to support ambitious new enterprises, established service providers and individuals whose leadership extends beyond their formal roles. Congratulations to all our 2026 Greater London Business Award winners.
