The store on Kingsthorpe Road, which has been a fixture in Northampton for 125 years, has invested in a new-look bathroom showroom, and invested £14,000 to redevelop its website – www.abell.co.uk– earlier this year.
It has already won Website of the Year at the SME Northamptonshire Awards in May 2024.
Managing director of Bell of Northampton Lee Ferris commented: “We’re incredibly proud to be finalists in both the Website of the Year and Retail Business of the Year categories at the SME National Business Awards.
“Having already won Website of the Year at the SME Northamptonshire Business Awards earlier this year, it’s exciting to be in with a chance of winning this award at national level!
“Our customers really are the heart of our business so to be recognised for the work we do in ensuring that they receive the best products, service and advice when it comes to all things home and garden, really means the world to the team.”
“We are very proud of our heritage and the fact that we continue to be at the forefront of innovating and adapting has been key to success, which has allowed us to still be in business, serving happy customers!”
Winners of the SME National Business Awards will be announced at a black tie event held at Wembley Stadium, London on December 6, 2024.

Sintered stone manufacturer Neolith has launched Calacatta Roma and Cappadocia Sunset, inspired by nature and classical architecture, and for use in kitchens or bathrooms walls, floors, in gardens or facades.
They belong to The New Classtone and Fusioncollections which interpret marble and natural stone, respectively, and boast Neolith’s antibacterial NeolEAT technology.
Inspired by Ancient Rome, Calacatta Roma (pictured top) pays homage to Italian Carrara marble, with ochre and grey veins in a white background.
While the Cappadocia region, in central Turkey, with its rock formations formed by volcanoes and underground cities, has inspired Cappadocia Sunset (pictured below).

Just like all of Neolith’s surfaces, Calacatta Roma and Cappadocia Sunset are resistant to heat and atmospheric conditions, are 100% recyclable, and do not contain added quartz to their formulation.
