We are delighted to announce that GatherCRM is a Gold Sponsor of the SME National Business Awards 2026, supporting the prestigious Website of the Year category.

The SME National Business Awards celebrates the achievements of outstanding businesses from across the UK, recognising the people, teams and organisations that are making a real impact within the SME community. We are incredibly pleased to welcome GatherCRM as part of this year’s awards and thank them for their support.

 

Supporting Website of the Year

In today’s digital world, a website is often the first impression a business makes. It can showcase a company’s brand, tell its story and play a vital role in connecting with customers.

The Website of the Year category celebrates businesses that have created websites which not only look great, but are easy to navigate, effectively showcase what they do and successfully engage their audience.

With GatherCRM sponsoring this category, we are excited to see some of the outstanding digital work being recognised at the SME National Business Awards 2026.

Welcome to the Judging Panel, Joe Gilbert

As part of GatherCRM’s involvement in the awards, we are also pleased to welcome Joe Gilbert, Founder of GatherCRM, to the judging panel.

Joe will bring his experience and insight to the judging process, helping to recognise the businesses that are demonstrating excellence through their websites and digital presence.

Having a strong panel of judges is an important part of the awards, and we are delighted that Joe will be joining us to help celebrate the achievements of this year’s entrants.

 

About GatherCRM

GatherCRM is an all-in-one business operating system built for small teams and SMEs who are tired of juggling disconnected tools. It brings clients, projects, invoicing, HR, reporting and more into a single, simple platform – powerful enough to run a whole business, simple enough that teams actually use it every day.

Founded by Joe Gilbert, who spent over a decade running a certified B Corp digital agency, GatherCRM was born from first-hand frustration with the sprawl of software most small businesses rely on. The result is a genuine alternative to both bloated enterprise systems and basic single-purpose tools – comprehensive, but refreshingly easy to use.

Built in the UK and hosted on 100% renewable energy, GatherCRM is on a mission to help small businesses run everything from one place, work smarter, and get their time back.
