Manchester, UK – Hannah Cavalier, Founder and Director of Boogie Beat Music & Movement, has been named Lifestyle Franchise of the Year at the prestigious Disruptive Franchise Awards 2026, held in Manchester.
The award recognises franchise businesses that successfully enable franchisees to achieve an exceptional work-life balance while building sustainable and profitable businesses.
This year’s awards marked Hannah’s third consecutive year as a finalist, having been shortlisted in both the Franchise of the Year and Lifestyle Franchise of the Year categories. Adding to the celebrations, Boogie Beat franchisee Jodie, who runs the Gloucester territory, was also recognised as a finalist in the Inclusion Champion Award category.
Hosted by franchise expert Stacey Cann of Impact Franchising, the annual event brought together franchisors, franchisees and industry leaders from across the UK to celebrate innovation, business excellence and growth within the franchising sector.
Speaking after receiving the award, Hannah said:
“I am absolutely delighted and incredibly honoured to have won Lifestyle Franchise of the Year. This award means so much because it recognises something that has always been at the heart of Boogie Beat – creating a business opportunity that genuinely gives people flexibility, freedom and a lifestyle that works for them and their families.
“Many of our franchisees come to us looking for a career change after working in teaching, administration or other demanding roles. Through our proven systems, ongoing support and flexible business model, they are able to build successful businesses while maintaining the work-life balance they want. Seeing them thrive is the greatest reward, and to have that recognised by an independent judging panel is truly special.”
Boogie Beat Music & Movement provides interactive music, movement and storytelling sessions for babies, toddlers and young children across the UK. The franchise network continues to grow, with franchisees benefiting from comprehensive training, marketing support and a well-established business model.
The award-winning franchise has built a strong reputation for helping individuals create successful businesses that fit around family commitments and personal goals, while making a positive impact within their local communities.
The Disruptive Franchise Awards programme also featured keynote presentations from leading business experts, including motivational speaker Ali Braid, who encouraged attendees to focus on mindset and personal growth, and technology specialist Tim Freed, who explored how AI and automation can help business owners reclaim valuable time.
Reflecting on the event, Hannah added:
“The awards were a fantastic opportunity to learn, network and celebrate the achievements of businesses across the franchising sector. The franchising community is incredibly supportive, and it was wonderful to spend the day connecting with both familiar faces and new contacts while celebrating the success of so many inspiring businesses.”
