ZED PODS’ Story of Excellence
They won The Innovation Award in 2025. Now they’re back as finalists in 2026.
In our latest Story of Excellence, we hear the story behind ZED PODS – where it all began, the problems the team set out to solve and the thinking that has shaped its approach to building homes differently.
It’s a story of challenging conventional thinking, turning difficult sites into opportunities and continuing to ask how housing can be delivered better – for people, communities and the environment. Through innovative modular construction, ZED PODS is helping to tackle some of the challenges facing UK housing.

Super Benji’s Story of Excellence
In 2025, Super Benji was Highly Commended for AI Solution of the Year at The Lloyds British Business Excellence Awards. It was a powerful endorsement of their place in the industry.
Every salesperson knows the feeling: hours spent finding leads, crafting personalised messages, chasing follow-ups, and waiting for replies that may never come. Super Benji automates all of it — acting as an AI teammate that researches prospects, writes tailored outreach at scale, and gets the right people into the conversation, so salespeople can focus on what they’re actually good at.
For Jeremy, the ambition goes beyond sales pipelines. B2B accounts for over 80% of the global economy — and if Super Benji can help businesses grow faster, the impact ripples much further than any one sales team.

Gigasure’s Story of Excellence
Gigasure launched in August 2024 and went on to win the New Business of the Year Award at the Lloyds British Business Excellence Awards in November 2025. They are redefining what it means to own an insurance product. With Gigasure you can manage everything from your phone — turning on ski cover for two weeks, not twelve months; filing a claim on the go; getting help via chat, not a queue.
Building that kind of flexibility into an insurance product from scratch is genuinely hard. It takes the right technology, the right underwriting expertise, and the right people.
This is Gigasure’s Story of Excellence.
