Barnsley and Rotherham Business Awards 2025
We’re thrilled to announce that Kinspeed has been recognised at the prestigious Barnsley and Rotherham Business Awards 2025 for our 40 years of contribution to the region’s economy.
On Friday, 14th November, our MD Glen Banks and Head of Sales and Marketing Natalie Sharp attended the awards ceremony at Magna in Rotherham, where we received a special milestone certificate celebrating four decades of service to South Yorkshire.
A Night to Remember
Hosted by Barnsley & Rotherham Chamber of Commerce and headline sponsored by Barnsley College, the event brought together over 550 guests from across the region for an evening of celebration and recognition. With live entertainment, a DJ set, and the return of the thrilling Miami Wave ride, it was a fantastic showcase of the strength and creativity of our local business community.
The ceremony, hosted by SAS veteran and best-selling author Colin MacLachlan, featured 13 prestigious awards plus the overall ‘Champion of Champions’ Business of the Year award, recognising exceptional achievements across diverse industries.

40 Years of Serving South Yorkshire
Being recognised alongside other long-serving businesses, including Age UK Rotherham (40 years), Steel City Marketing (45 years), Rotherham United (100 years), and Shorts (135 years) is a tremendous honour. It’s a testament to the dedication of our team, the loyalty of our clients, and the support of our community over the past four decades.
As Carrie Sudbury, Chief Executive of Barnsley & Rotherham Chamber, noted: “The Barnsley and Rotherham Business Awards truly highlighted the strength and creativity of our local business community. Every finalist and winner demonstrated the innovation, dedication, and hard work that make South Yorkshire such a fantastic place to do business.”
Looking Ahead
As we celebrate this milestone, we remain committed to the values that have sustained us for 40 years: delivering exceptional service, supporting our local community, and continuously evolving to meet the needs of our clients.
Thank you to everyone who has been part of our journey—our team, our clients, and our partners. Here’s to many more years of success together in Barnsley, Rotherham, Sheffield, and beyond.
