Award Wins & National Industry Recognition

Nationally recognised for excellence in bathroom & kitchen installation

At Ken Beard & Son Ltd, we are proud to have received recognition at the highest level of the UK fitted interiors industry. In 2026, our team was recognised across multiple prestigious national awards for installation quality, innovation, leadership and business excellence.

BIFIS Awards 2026 – National Winners

At the British Institute of Fitted Interiors (BIFIS) Awards 2026, we were shortlisted in four national categories and were proud to win two of the industry’s highest honours:

• Installation Business of the Year – WINNER
• Young Installer of the Year – WINNER (Ethan Houghton)
• Bathroom Installer of the Year – Finalist (Mal Beard)
• Community Champion – Finalist

These awards recognise outstanding businesses and individuals from across the UK and celebrate excellence in workmanship, customer service, technical expertise and professionalism.

National Recognition Beyond Installation

Our business has also been recognised nationally for innovation and leadership beyond the projects we deliver.

We are finalists in the Construction News Awards 2026 for Company Innovation of the Year, recognising our pioneering application of organisational psychology, digital project management and structured business systems within a specialist construction company.

Sarah Brislen, Business Manager, was also a two-category national finalist in the Association for Business Psychology Awards, recognising excellence in organisational transformation and in-house business psychology.

In addition, Sarah was named “One to Watch” in the CITB Top 100 Most Influential Women in Construction, recognising emerging leadership and innovation within the UK construction sector.

Recognition That Benefits Our Customers

While awards are never our goal, they provide independent recognition of the standards we set for every customer.

From technical installation and project management to customer communication, training and continuous improvement, these national accolades reflect our commitment to delivering exceptional bathrooms and kitchens with professionalism, reliability and attention to detail.

Whether you’re investing in a luxury bathroom renovation, bespoke kitchen or accessible adaptation, you can have confidence that your project is being delivered by an award-winning, nationally recognised team whose work has been independently recognised across the UK construction and fitted interiors industry.
