Managing director of Roccia Zabir Patel commented: “We are incredibly honoured to have been named Family Business of the Year with this award”, adding “which is the second time we’ve won this accolade – we were previously crowned BIBA Family Business of The Year five years ago in 2019.

“The award recognises the whole team’s dedication to excellence and is a testament to the hard work, passion and expertise offered by our entire team, who are like family to us.

“It also celebrates the values that have guided us from day one – quality, integrity, and customer care. We are so proud to be recognised for these qualities.”

Roccia has a flagship store in Preston and a showroom in Bolton, as well as a trade counter.

 Highlighting some of the company’s achievements and initiatives this year, Zabir Patel said: “We’ve expanded our business to become a nationally recognised brand … and this is something we’re planning to continue to drive forward in 2025.

“To support this we’ve focused on innovation and new technologies, from how we operate internally and a new CRM system, to new and exciting eco-friendly and wellness products. We also sell nationwide via our e-commerce tiles site.

 “Welcoming visitors to experience the Roccia difference when they visit our showroom, in Preston, has also continued to be a key focus for us, with lots of activity supporting the local community, trade and our regionally-based customers.

“And we’ve built on our success of fostering a business entrenched in family values by investing in new generations to continue our legacy, supporting employees with best-in-class training and apprenticeships, and facilitating career progression across the company.”

In addition, the retailer  has grown its exclusive Jacob & Son kitchen brand and introduced new partnerships with Uno Windows & Doors,  contemporary furniture and lighting specialists Scosa, Planika Ethinol & Gas Fireplaces and Novus Underfloor Heating,

Zabir Patel concluded: “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!

“In the coming weeks we’re going to make it a full family and friends celebration, with everyone who’s been part of our successful journey so far, to say thank you and to mark our 30th year in business! We will be releasing more about this soon.”

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.
