In today’s hyper-connected world, going global is no longer just an ambition — it’s a game-changer.
Exporting doesn’t just open doors to new markets; it can transform businesses, create lasting impact, and, in some cases, even help improve the health and wellbeing of communities around the world.
Just ask last year’s winners of the BIBAs Global Business of the Year, Orisec who walked away with their first BIBA in 2024.
The Global Business of the Year category at the BIBAs shines a spotlight on both service and manufacturing companies that have embraced international trade as a core part of their operations and growth strategy.
These are the businesses that don’t just think local or national — they think global.
Proudly sponsoring the category once again is Team Leyland International, a company that knows exactly what it takes to make waves overseas. With a presence in over 70 countries, exporting is at the very heart of their business.
Mick Mayor, Managing Director at Team Leyland, said: “Too often, businesses restrict their focus to the UK market, missing out on the vast opportunities that exist overseas. Stepping into international trade can be a powerful route to growth, providing stability through diversification and opening up a world of new possibilities.
“Lancashire is home to some exceptional exporters — but we know there are more businesses with the potential to go global.
“The BIBAs offers the perfect platform to celebrate those already doing it and to inspire others to explore international markets.”
As the world gets smaller and the opportunities bigger, there’s never been a better time to take your business beyond borders. And with categories like Global Business of the Year, the BIBAs continues to champion those brave enough to take the leap.
