We’re incredibly proud to be celebrating the success of several TBN members following the Great British Business & Community Awards 2026, with our members recognised across a range of categories.

From new businesses making their mark to organisations creating lasting change in their communities, it’s fantastic to see the hard work and achievements of our TBN members recognised on a national stage.

A huge congratulations to ASK Agency, who were named New Start-Up of the Year.

ASK Agency was recognised for turning an ambitious new venture into a business with real momentum and a clear identity. The judges highlighted the team’s entrepreneurial drive, fresh thinking and strong understanding of its clients’ needs.

In a short space of time, ASK Agency has built credibility, created meaningful results and established strong foundations for future growth.

We’re delighted to celebrate MYTIME Young Carers, winners of Charity of the Year.

MYTIME Young Carers was recognised for its exceptional commitment to transforming the lives of young carers. Supporting thousands of young people while also driving change in education and policy, the organisation’s innovative work gives young carers opportunities, a voice and brighter futures.

It’s wonderful to see such important work receiving national recognition.

Congratulations to Fran Robinson, who was named Solopreneur of the Year.

Fran has turned her creative talent into a successful business that helps entrepreneurs and brands stand out with confidence.

The judges recognised her ability to understand each client, capture their individuality and translate their vision into powerful imagery. Her entrepreneurial drive, creativity and commitment to delivering a truly personal service demonstrate the very best of what it means to be a solopreneur.

Another fantastic achievement comes from Vagabond Pilates, which was named a Bronze Winner in the SME of the Year category.

With more than 260 nominations in the category alone, this is a significant achievement for the Dorset-based business.

Founded by Millie, Tim and Molly, Vagabond Pilates has built its reputation around properly taught movement combined with a welcoming, down-to-earth studio environment.

The business now operates studios at Lytchett and Pimperne, near Blandford, welcoming everyone from complete beginners to experienced Pilates clients.

Co-founder Millie Gough said:

We’re also delighted to celebrate Gooding Accounts on their recognition at this year’s awards.

Their success adds another fantastic achievement to an already impressive collection of TBN member stories, and we’re thrilled to see their hard work recognised alongside businesses and organisations from across the UK.

The TBN connection to the awards doesn’t stop with our winners.

We’re also incredibly proud that Paul Day of Filestream was one of the judges for this year’s awards.

Paul’s involvement gave him the opportunity to play a part in recognising the achievements of businesses and organisations across the awards, highlighting the expertise and experience within the TBN community.

At TBN, one of the things we love most is seeing our members succeed.

Whether they’re launching a new business, growing an established company, supporting their community or making a difference through their work, our members continue to demonstrate the ambition, creativity and commitment that makes the TBN network so special.

A huge congratulations to ASK Agency, MYTIME Young Carers, Fran Robinson, Vagabond Pilates and Gooding Accounts on their recognition at the Great British Business & Community Awards 2026.
