Forest Group is celebrating another major achievement after being named Service Business of the Year at the 2025 BIBAs. The success marks an impressive back-to-back win following the company’s victory in 2024.

The BIBAs, widely regarded as one of Lancashire’s premier business awards, recognise excellence, innovation, and leadership across the county. Winning the title for a second consecutive year, judged by a completely new panel, highlights Forest Group’s consistent dedication to service quality, reliability, and customer satisfaction.

Andrew Fraser, joint managing director said: “Winning in 2024 was already a huge milestone, but to retain this award in 2025, with a completely new panel of judges, makes it even more special. It’s a reminder that customer service isn’t a one-off, it’s culture; a way of working that means delivering the very best for our customers every single day.”

He added: “We couldn’t be more proud of our brilliant team and what we deliver together. Their passion, hard work, and commitment to excellence make awards like this possible. Congratulations to all the finalists and winners, and a massive thank you to our people, our customers, and to the BIBAs judges for recognising what we stand for.”

This latest recognition follows a year of continued growth and success for Forest Group, which also received the National Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Contractor of the Year 2025 award.

Specialising in commercial air conditioning and refrigeration, Forest Group provides reliable, energy-efficient solutions to businesses nationwide. With over 40 years of trusted family heritage, the company continues to set the benchmark for quality, professionalism, and long-term customer partnerships.
