We’re Red Rose Awards 2025 finalists for Family Business of the Year!

At Forest Group, family is at the heart of everything we do.  For over 40 years, we’ve been committed to growing a business that not only thrives but also supports and uplifts those around us — our employees, customers, supply chain partners and community.

Being named a finalist at the Red Rose Awards is an incredible honour and a testament to the dedication, passion, and teamwork that drives us every day.

A huge thank you and well done to our amazing team, loyal customers, and everyone who plays their part in making Forest Group a market leader. We couldn’t do it without you!

Thank you to the valued Sponsors Barclays UK, Forbes Solicitors, Farleys Solicitors, Richard Slater and the team at Lancashire Business View. These awards don't happen without them, or work without judges volunteering their valuable time and experience, so a huge thank you to every judge and sponsor across every category!

Congratulations and good luck all the finalists:
