Kelly Reynolds Socials Announced as Sponsor of Team Led Business of the Year

Apr 9, 2026

The Class Business Awards 2026 continues to build momentum, and I’m so pleased to announce that Kelly Reynolds Socials is officially sponsoring the Team Led Business of the Year category.

This is a big one.

Because building a team is one of the biggest shifts a class-based business owner will ever make.

It’s the moment you move from running sessions… to leading something bigger.

And it doesn’t come with a manual.

Why This Category Matters

So many business owners start the same way – doing everything themselves.

Delivering the classes.
Answering the messages.
Posting on social media.
Managing bookings.
Handling the finances.

Then growth happens.

And suddenly, what got you here won’t get you there.

That’s where this category comes in.

The Team Led Business of the Year award recognises those who have stepped into leadership and built something beyond themselves.

Businesses that are:

  • Creating jobs and opportunities for others
  • Expanding their reach into more communities
  • Delivering consistent, high-quality experiences at scale
  • Building strong, supported teams behind the scenes

Because scaling isn’t just about doing more.
It’s about doing it differently.

Why Kelly Is the Perfect Fit

Kelly Reynolds brings a perspective that this stage of business growth desperately needs.

She’s not just talking about systems and strategy from the outside. She’s lived it.

With experience running children’s messy play classes alongside a background in corporate systems and organisation, Kelly understands both sides of the business – what happens in the session, and what needs to happen behind the scenes to make it sustainable.

Now, through Kelly Reynolds Socials, she supports children’s activity providers to simplify their tech, streamline their systems, and build businesses that actually work.

Not just on paper.
But in real life.

She works with business owners who are often:

  • Overwhelmed by messy or disconnected systems
  • Stuck managing everything manually
  • Unsure how to bring structure into their business
  • Trying to grow but feeling held back by the operational side

Her approach is simple, practical and focused on what actually moves the needle.

As Kelly shares:

“I’m incredibly excited to be part of the Class Business Awards because I truly believe our industry needs recognition like this. Children’s activity providers, tutors, fitness instructors, and class-based business owners do such important work, and it often goes unseen.”

And when it comes to this category in particular, her passion is clear:

“Running a business can be lonely, but building and leading a team is a whole different level of growth, responsibility, and impact. These business owners aren’t just creating opportunities for themselves, they’re supporting others to follow their own paths while reaching and positively impacting even more families and communities across the UK.”

Why The Awards Exist

The Class Business Awards were created for a reason.

Because this industry is full of businesses doing incredible work…
but not always getting the recognition they deserve.

This isn’t just about one night in October.

It’s about a full year of visibility, storytelling and celebrating what’s really happening behind the scenes of class-based businesses across the UK.

We’re here to shine a light on businesses that are:

  • Building sustainable, profitable models
  • Creating real impact in their communities
  • Supporting families, children and adults through their work
  • Growing with intention, not just hustle

The awards are the spotlight.
But the stories behind them are where the real magic is.

Celebrating the Next Level of Growth

Team-led businesses represent a different level of commitment.

You’re no longer just responsible for your own results.
You’re responsible for other people’s livelihoods, experiences and opportunities too.

That takes leadership.
Clarity.
Structure.

And often, a lot of learning along the way.

That’s why having Kelly Reynolds Socials sponsor this category feels like such a natural fit.

She understands what it takes to make that transition work, and more importantly, how to make it sustainable.

The Team Led Business of the Year category is going to be a powerful one.

And I can’t wait to see the businesses that step forward and share their stories.
