We’re thrilled to announce that we have been named winners of the New Business Award at the prestigious Be Inspired Business Awards (BIBAs) 2025, organised by the North & Western Lancashire Chamber of Commerce.

The glittering awards ceremony took place on Friday 19 September at the iconic Blackpool Tower Ballroom, where over 1,000 business leaders from across Lancashire gathered to celebrate the very best of business in the region.

The award celebrated new businesses in the county with the aim of recognising those that demonstrate strong leadership, impressive growth and performance beyond expectations.

Kelmore were named finalists following a rigorous judging process featuring interviews and a site visit. Judges were looking for evidence of achievement of initial business objectives, strong early-stage growth and momentum, financial sustainability and sound planning, innovation and resilience.

As our Founder and Managing Director, Mark Kelly, said on the night:

“The true reason for our success is our people. We’re fortunate to have a hardworking, dedicated and caring team, and I accepted this award with immense pride on their behalf.”

This marks our third award win in 2025 (following the Made in the North West and Made in the UK awards earlier this year), and we’re excited to continue our journey of sustainable growth and innovation in the flooring and tiling industries.

A huge thank you to the judges, the North & Western Lancashire Chamber of Commerce, and everyone who has supported us along the way.
