Double celebration as ROCCIA is Family Business of The Year 2024

What a fantastic 30th Anniversary achievement! ROCCIA has been officially crowned Family Business of The Year 2024 in the Be Inspired Business Awards (BIBAs) 2024.

We were awarded with our trophy during a glittering awards ceremony held at the iconic Blackpool Tower Ballroom. In the coming months, we’re going to have a week of celebration with everyone who’s been part of our successful journey so far, including our valued customers, to say thank you and to mark our 30th year in business! Keep an eye out for more news about this coming soon. The BIBAs, run by the North & Western Lancashire Chamber of Commerce, are Lancashire’s longest-running, largest and most prestigious business awards. In fact, it’s not the first time that we’ve won one of their sought-after accolades – we were previously crowned Business of The Year five years ago in 2019 and Medium Business of The Year in 2018.

What makes us stand out from the competition?

Here are just some of the highlights that have made this year extra special (and award-winning!):

• We’ve expanded our business to become a nationally recognised brand … and this is something we’re planning to continue driving forward in 2025. ROCCIA has grown from a small family venture into one of the most respected and trusted names in the UK for tiles, kitchens, and bathrooms.
• Welcoming visitors to experience the ROCCIA difference when they visit our showroom in Preston has continued to be a key focus for us, with lots of activity supporting the local community and our regionally based customers. ROCCIA’s expert team offers a personalised approach to every project, ensuring that customers receive tailored solutions that perfectly match their design vision and lifestyle needs.
• There’s been lots of innovation – from how we operate internally using the latest technologies to new and exciting eco-friendly products.
• Building on our success of fostering a business entrenched in family values, we’ve invested in new generations continuing our legacy, supporting employees with best-in-class training and apprenticeships and facilitating career progression across the company.
• We’ve grown our unique and exclusive Jacob & Son kitchen brand, expanding the brand presence through other retail partners and increasing awareness of the product range.

The cornerstone of our award-winning business is our values

“We are incredibly honoured to receive the Family Business of the Year award,” says ROCCIA Managing Director Zabir Patel. “The accolade celebrates ROCCIA’s long-standing commitment to quality, innovation, and its deep-rooted family values that have been the cornerstone of our success since the company’s inception. “Founded over 30 years ago, ROCCIA has grown from a small family venture into one of the most respected and trusted names in the UK for tiles, kitchens, and bathrooms. The award recognises the whole team’s dedication to building a thriving family business that has retained its personal touch and community-driven focus, even as we’ve expanded our reach.

“This award is a tribute to the hard work, passion, and dedication of our entire team, who are like family to us. It also celebrates the values that have guided us from day one – Family, Excellence and Inspiration. We are so proud to be recognised for these qualities.” Zabir added: “We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to our dedicated staff, trusted partners, suppliers, traders, friends, and, most importantly, our family. Thank you to everyone who believed in us! Love from the ROCCIA family.”
