ActionCOACH heads into 2026 with top 20 spot in the UK’s franchise elite list
ActionCOACH UK Makes Top 20 in Elite Franchise Top 100
ActionCOACH UK is proud to announce it has been ranked no.20 in the prestigious Elite Franchise Top 100 (EF100), marking a significant milestone in its journey as one of the UK’s most respected franchise brands.
Securing a Top 20 spot in such a competitive ranking is no small feat and underscores ActionCOACH’s continued leadership in the franchise industry, along with its commitment to helping businesses grow and thrive nationwide.
Celebrating its ninth year, the EF100 remains one of the most respected franchise rankings in the UK, and ActionCOACH has consistently stayed in the Top 25 throughout. Judges evaluate hundreds of entries to identify brands leading in business growth, franchisee support, innovation, and community impact.
Being in the Top 20 places ActionCOACH among the elite, a benchmark for resilience, long-term success, and inspiration. As Anita Roberts, franchise director at HSBC UK, noted: “The adaptability and innovation shown by brands in challenging conditions are truly impressive.”
This recognition adds to a string of accolades over the past 12 months. At ActionCOACH’s global conference, the UK team secured four of the top six awards, including Master Licensee of the Year for the 17th consecutive year. Additionally, the network achieved 5-star franchisee satisfaction from WorkBuzz for the 13th consecutive year, with partners rating support, systems, and collaboration above national averages.
Clients are seeing results too. In the latest British survey, 98% would recommend ActionCOACH, 96% reported a positive business impact, and 89% improved their work-life balance. The brand’s Net Promoter Score even outperforms global giants like Apple and Amazon.
Julie Wagstaff, co-founder of ActionCOACH UK, said: “Ranking in the Top 20 of the EF100 is a huge achievement for our network. Every franchise partner and team member has contributed to building something special; a brand that is commercially successful yet deeply committed to delivering positive change.”
ActionCOACH UK continues to attract ambitious, values-led professionals aiming to make a meaningful impact through business coaching. This Top 20 ranking cements its position as the gold standard in UK business coaching franchising, setting the pace for others to follow.

Jam Coding Launches First Computing Lab in Cheadle
Jam Coding has announced the launch of its first Computing Lab, opening in January 2026 at the Intuition Tuition Centre in Cheadle. This new facility marks an exciting new chapter for the company, which has spent the past decade delivering digital skills workshops and computing lessons in primary schools across the UK.
The Computing Lab is designed for children aged 4 to 13 and provides a structured, curriculum-aligned programme that focuses on coding, problem-solving, and creative computing. Unlike school-based sessions, these labs are open to all children, giving families the flexibility to enrol directly. Children will benefit from measurable lessons aligned to the national curriculum, while parents can track progress and see their child’s confidence in computing grow week by week.
Roger Grogan, Chief Executive Officer of Jam Coding, said: “The launch of our first Computing Lab is a huge step forward. They’re a response to parents with a growing appetite for coding and computing lessons outside of the school setting, offering a more flexible opportunity that any child can join. Each digital skill a child learns can, on average, increase their potential future earnings by 1 to 2 per cent, so it’s vital that children are developing these skills early.”
The first Computing Lab will be led by Su Watty, Area Director for Jam Coding Stockport, who will oversee operations at the Cheadle site. Su added: “It’s an absolute honour to be leading the launch of Jam Coding’s very first Computing Lab in Cheadle. Every child deserves the chance to unlock their potential through digital skills, and this Lab will be a place where they can grow in confidence, creativity, and ambition. It’s a privilege to help guide these young minds, and I’m excited to see where their journeys take them.”
The Cheadle Computing Lab will be the first of several planned locations across the UK, with more launches expected throughout 2026, as Jam Coding continues to expand opportunities for children to develop essential digital skills and prepare for a digitally-driven future.
