Paralloy Group wins at the Private Business Awards!

Paralloy Group was named among the winners announced on Thursday 11 September at the inaugural Private Business Awards, sponsored by BDO. 

The awards celebrated the exceptional achievements of private businesses across the United Kingdom, with Paralloy being awarded Transformation of the Year 2025. 

“Winning the Transformation of the Year award is a proud moment for everyone at Paralloy Group,” said Robert McGowan, CEO of Paralloy Group. “This recognition reflects the dedication, agility, and resilience of our team as we’ve reshaped the business for a new era. Through strategic investment, innovation, and a focus on our people and customers, we’ve built a stronger, more future-ready Paralloy. This award is not just a milestone, it’s a testament to what we can achieve together.” 

Private businesses form the backbone of the UK economy yet often operate away from the spotlight of public markets. With approximately 5.55 million private businesses employing 27 million people and generating £4.5 trillion in annual turnover, these awards shine a deserved light on the innovation, resilience and success stories that drive the UK forward. 

Kyla Bellingall, leadership team member at BDO, added: "Private businesses are the unsung heroes of our economy. These awards recognise not just financial success, but the entrepreneurial spirit, job creation and community impact that define the best of UK business.  

“Despite the uncertainty and complexity facing the world, all of the winners and shortlisted businesses give us reason to be very optimistic about the future. We’d like to congratulate Paralloy Group on the win.” 

Winners were selected across ten categories by an expert judging panel of leading industry figures. The awards attracted nominations from diverse sectors and regions throughout the UK, reflecting the breadth and depth of private business excellence nationwide.
