The Comms Council UK, which represents the UK’s national Unified Communications and Voice-over-Internet-Protocol (VoIP) phone industry, has today revealed the winners of their 18th annual 2026 awards event at a ceremony at Kitty Hawk in London. Some of the winners include Nebula, 8×8, Zayo and Daktela others.
Tracey Wright, Chair of Comms Council UK Council, said: “This was another brilliant CCUK Awards ceremony. It was great to see an exceptional response to new categories for AI and CX, reflecting the rapid pace of the industry and new developments in telecoms. Congratulations to all the winners and highly commended organisations.”
The winners are usually independently reviewed by several judges, although we couldn’t find a list of the panel members. As usual, there was also no specific category for consumer VoIP phone services, although in the past the SOHO (Small Office / Small Home) category did get a little bit closer to that, but they dropped that category for 2026.
