UK Business Tech Awards 2026 Finalists
We’re incredibly proud to share that HBHR was named a finalist in seven categories at the UK Business Tech Awards 2026, held in London on 8 July 2026.

What the UK Business Tech Awards recognise
The UK Business Tech Awards celebrate the country’s most innovative tech businesses, judged by an independent panel on innovation, impact, and growth. The 2026 shortlist brought together finalists from across the UK tech landscape, from AI and SaaS to fintech and tech for good.
What this recognition means for our customers
Each shortlisting reflects a different part of what we build every day. The Best AI Innovation nod recognises HRGenie, our AI-powered workforce intelligence platform, the same intelligence our customers use to make faster, fairer people decisions. And Most Impressive Business Growth belongs to the businesses scaling with us.
While we didn’t take home a trophy this time, seven shortlistings from one programme is a milestone we’re proud of, and a promise of what’s coming next.

“Being shortlisted seven times in one night says everything about this team. Every category tells a piece of our story: the AI we’ve built and the growth our customers have trusted us with. We didn’t leave with a trophy, but we left prouder than ever of what we’re building, and hungrier for what’s next.”
To our customers, partners, and every member of the HBHR team: this recognition belongs to you. Congratulations to all the winners and fellow finalists.
