Burger King awarded ‘Best Intranet’ for its Oak Engage-powered BK Hub

07 October 2025

Burger King UK was crowned ‘Best Intranet’ for its Oak Engage-powered BK Hub at this year’s prestigious Institute of Internal Communication awards on September 18th - the fifth award win in just eight months for Oak’s frontline-focused employee engagement platform. 

IoIC judges praised the platform, calling it “a highly compelling example of a strategically transformative intranet, built with a deep understanding of its employee demographic and communication needs. The core business objective - reducing employee turnover and improving onboarding - was well-defined and strongly aligned with the final product. Overall, this submission stood out for its clarity of purpose, innovation and tangible impact on the business.” 

Oak’s BK Hub connects Burger King UK’s 98% frontline employees, with Head Office teams and connects the entire workforce with its goals, strategy and processes. With the majority of frontline teams both deskless and device-less, the mobile-first app was a critical part of Oak Engage receiving recognition from the IoIC for “transforming Burger King’s employee experience”.

Nick Hollis, Head of Engagement at Burger King UK said: “To win in multiple award categories, each with an excellent calibre of finalists is incredible. Oak Engage is leading the way in helping companies like us to achieve our engagement goals. It’s why the BK Hub has grown into something our people can’t live without”. 

The Oak Engage-powered BK Hub in numbers over last 12 months: 

  • 99% mobile app adoption 
  • 97% monthly engagement 
  • 1.2 million content views over last 12 months
  • 1,800+ timeline posts with 26,000+ reactions

Will Murray, CEO at Oak Engage said: “We’re delighted for the Burger King UK team and immensely proud to play a part in uniting their people regardless of role, location or device. Today, high performing businesses need more than just communication, they need connection. The BK Hub sets a powerful example of what’s possible when frontline and Head Office colleagues are truly connected.”

On the night, Burger King UK was awarded alongside fellow Oak Engage clients ScS and ZIGUP, both receiving Awards of Excellence for their Oak-powered platforms.
