We’re on an award roll this year and are proud to share that Laura Faragher has been named a finalist in the Business Woman of the Year category at the SME National Business Awards 2026. The winners will be announced at the awards final at Leonardo Royal, London Tower Bridge on Friday 6 November 2026.

What the SME National Business Awards Recognises

The SME National Business Awards celebrates the businesses and business leaders driving growth across the UK's small and medium-sized enterprise community. Reaching the final is not a small thing. It means a panel of judges looked at what has actually been built over the past year and decided it was worth putting forward.

For a category like Business Woman of the Year, that recognition sits with the person as much as the business. It reflects the decisions made, the risks taken, and the standards held day to day.

What This Nomination Means to Us

Leads To Bookings exists to help home improvement businesses generate qualified leads, book more appointments, and grow in a way they can actually plan around. 

That mission does not change because of an awards final, but being recognised for it does confirm something: the work is landing, and it is landing with the people it is meant to help.

This nomination is not just Laura's. It belongs to the whole team that drives the vision and results. To every client who has trusted this business with their growth.

A Thank You That Means Everything

To our clients, thank you for letting us play a part in your business. Watching your lead flow, your bookings, and your revenue grow is the reason this work matters.

To our team, your consistency, integrity and standards are what make results like this possible in the first place.

Here's to What's Next

We will be at the awards in London on 6 November to see how the final plays out, but the real focus does not change between now and then. It is the same as it has always been: helping home improvement businesses turn leads into booked jobs.
