• DBSJ named finalist for both Vistage Growth Business of the Year and Family Business of the Year 

• The Kent-based business is recognised for exceptional growth, innovation and long-standing family values 

• Winners to be announced at the prestigious awards ceremony in London this November 

DBSJ is delighted to announce it has been shortlisted for not one, but two prestigious awards at the Lloyds British Business Excellence Awards 2025 - the Vistage Growth Business of the Year and the Family Business of the Year. 

DBSJ is a leading interiors fit-out contractor based in Canterbury, and this new honour places it among the most exceptional businesses in the UK - recognised not only for its rapid growth and innovative strategy, but also for its deep-rooted family values and commitment to its people. The likes of Warburtons, Tulleys and Modus Rail are among those recognised in the shortlists.

The Lloyds British Business Excellence Awards is the UK’s largest and most prestigious business awards programme, celebrating excellence across all industries.  

The awards shine a light on businesses that champion sustainability, diversity, equality and those that have transcended expectations throughout the year. Becoming a finalist is more than just recognition - it’s a moment of reflection, pride and celebration for businesses who continue to lead, adapt and inspire. 

Darren Hill, CEO of DBSJ, commented on the announcement: 

“We’re absolutely honoured to be recognised in not one, but two categories this year. These nominations mean so much to our team - they reflect years of dedication, smart growth and a culture we’ve worked hard to protect and evolve.” 

“Being part of a family business means we treat every challenge and success as personal. To be acknowledged by such a respected programme confirms that what we’re doing truly matters - and that we’re building something that lasts.” 

The winners will be announced at a prestigious ceremony at Grosvenor House in London on November 11th November 2025.
