VOLT Wins Family Business Awards Regional Final at Prestigious HSBC Business Awards

We’re incredibly proud to announce that has won the Family Business Awards regional final at the 2026 HSBC UK & FSB Small Business Growth Awards. 

Organised by HSBC UK in partnership with the Federation of Small Businesses and sponsored by Microsoft, Wired Magazine, Google and Upskill Universe, the awards celebrate exceptional businesses demonstrating innovation, resilience, growth and positive community impact across the UK.

This regional win now places VOLT into the national finals next month, where winners from across the country will compete for the overall national title.

From day one, VOLT has been built around strong family values, long-term thinking and a belief that better transport can genuinely improve everyday life. Those values remain the driving force behind our success today – shaping the way we support our customers, develop our products, grow our team and evolve the business. What started in London as a family-founded company has grown into one of the UK’s leading electric bike brands, helping thousands of people travel in a cleaner, healthier and more enjoyable way.  

This achievement is a reflection of the incredible people behind the business: our dedicated team, loyal riders, trusted retail partners and the growing community embracing electric cycling across the UK.

As e-bikes continue transforming urban mobility, it’s exciting to see businesses in the sector recognised not only for commercial success, but for driving meaningful change – helping reduce congestion, lower emissions and make cycling more accessible to people from all walks of life.  

We’re hugely grateful to everyone who has supported VOLT on this journey so far. Every rider, customer, partner and supporter has played a part in this achievement.

“Winning this award is an incredibly proud moment for all of us at VOLT. As a family-run business, we’ve always believed that staying true to our values – quality, trust, innovation and genuinely caring about our customers – is what creates long-term success.

To receive this recognition from HSBC UK and the FSB is a huge honour for our entire team.”
