Just ask one of last year’s winners

Winning a BIBA back in 2024 wasn’t enough for The Forest Group as they came back to collect another crown last year.

The Blackburn-based business scooped Service Business for two years running, a feat they are leaving to other companies in 2026.

But winning the iconic trophy has allowed them to expand the business and plan for future accolades.

Andrew Fraser, operations director, said: “It was an incredible feeling of pride in our people, in our family, and in our leadership team. To be back-to-back winners was unbelievable, made even more powerful by the robust and independent judging, and by a completely new group of judges recognising Forest again as the best.”
