Branston Crowned National Independent Club/Centre of the Year at the 2026 ukactive Awards
2026 has been a landmark year for Branston Golf & Country Club, with national recognition placing our Staffordshire club among the UK’s leading names in golf, health and fitness.
The highlight came at the prestigious 2026 ukactive Awards, where we were crowned National Independent Club/Centre of the Year, recognising the exceptional standards, commitment and dedication that underpin everything we do here at Branston.
Held at Birmingham’s International Convention Centre (ICC), the ceremony brought together more than 850 industry leaders to celebrate excellence across the UK’s health and fitness sector.
For our team, this award represents more than national recognition. It reflects the work that goes into creating an outstanding experience for our members, from the quality of our facilities to the service and support they receive every day.
Ben Laing, Managing Director and Co-Owner of Branston Golf & Country Club, said:
“We are incredibly proud to have been named National Independent Club/Centre of the Year at the prestigious ukactive Awards, particularly following our success at the 59club Awards earlier this year.
“These achievements are a fantastic reflection of the passion, dedication and commitment of our entire team, who work tirelessly to deliver the very best experience for our members and customers.
“As we continue to invest in our facilities and grow the business, maintaining the highest standards of service and quality remains at the heart of everything we do. These awards are a real testament to our team’s hard work, and I couldn’t be prouder of what we have achieved together.”

The ukactive win follows further success at the 2026 59club UK & Ireland Service Excellence Awards, where Branston received national recognition for its standards across golf and leisure membership services.
