6 awards for Kidslingo’s 6th birthday
October 13, 2019
This October, Kidslingo celebrates its 6th birthday as a franchise, and what better way to celebrate than with 6 award wins in just one day!
Friday 11th October 2019 was a truly magical day for Kidslingo with 5 wins at the What’s On 4 Kids Awards, as well as scooping Best Franchisor at the Best Business Women Awards.
Over the last decade, the What’s On 4 Kids Awards have celebrated the UK’s most exceptional kids’ clubs and classes as voted for by the experts – the parents and carers. This year a massive 80,000 parents and carers voted, with Kidslingo being crowned the UK’s Most Loved Creative and Academic Activity.
Furthermore, 4 more winner’s trophies were scooped by Amy Bell, Katie Mitchell, Francesca Fleming and Becky MacLean for Most Loved Activity Leaders in Scotland and N Ireland, North of England, East of England and Wales, West & South West England respectively.
Anna Neville, Kidslingo CEO, said “It was a truly magical day for us at the What’s on Awards 2019. We are so grateful to the thousands of people who voted for us. Language learning is such a vital skill for children as global citizens. We are honoured to be able to inspire over 15,000 children every week to love languages via our specialist network of over 120 franchisee and tutors. The 4 franchisees, who won individual awards, are inspirational and we are so proud to have them on team Kidslingo.”
However, the excitement didn’t just end there! That same day, Anna Neville was awarded Best Franchisor at the The Best Business Women Awards, entrepreneurial business awards designed to recognise the achievements of women across a wide range of business categories.
Anna Neville, said “I have put my heart and soul into the Kidslingo business over the last 6 years, building up an amazing team of passionate and dedicated franchisees. To receive this level of recognition in just one day was overwhelming and humbling. I am so grateful to the panel of experts who recognised my achievements, contributing to Kidslingo’s 6th birthday being one never to forget.”
