A LUXURY tile, bathroom and kitchen firm is celebrating after scooping a top regional award.

Roccia, which has showrooms in Bolton and Preston, was named Business of the Year by the North West Lancaster Chamber of Commerce.

Each year the chamber stages the BIBAs (Be Inspired Business Awards), which attracts entries from across the north west.

Last year the outfit, which has a base at Ceramic House, in Chorley Old Road, walke away with the award for medium-sized enterprises at the BIBAs.

Zabir Patel, managing director, said: "This year marks our 25th anniversary and we cannot think of a more exciting and fitting way to mark this milestone celebration.

"The Roccia team are immensely proud to have won this award, especially when we consider the strength of the other regional nominees.

"As the UK's largest independent tile showroom, we pride ourselves on providing first-class customer service from initial design consultation to final home installation. Attention to detail is something that our customers truly appreciate."

In recent years the company has expanded from its core wall and floor tiles trade to take on kitchen and bathroom ranges.
