Hive & Keeper selected as one of the Nations' favourite Businesses 2026

Hive & Keeper has been named one of Small Business Saturday UK's Nation's Favourite Businesses 2026 — one of 100 independent businesses selected from a nationwide search as part of the official countdown to Small Business Saturday on 5 December 2026.

The Nation’s Favourite Businesses campaign will showcase each business as part of the official countdown to Small Business Saturday on 5 December - a grassroots non-commercial campaign, originally founded by American Express in the U.S. in 2010, and the principal supporter in the UK, aimed at celebrating and uplifting independent firms by encouraging the public to support and spend with small businesses.

Michelle Ovens CBE, Director of Small Business Saturday UK, said: "This year's Nation's Favourite Businesses are a true representation of the UK's most-loved small businesses. From independent, family-run cafés and local restaurants, to makers, services and traders, they showcase the incredible diversity of the UK's small business community."

Dan Edelman, General Manager, UK Merchant Services at American Express, said: "Small businesses bring energy, innovation and character to our high streets and local economies. This year's Nation's Favourite Businesses are a brilliant showcase of the UK's entrepreneurial spirit."
