Premier Forest Products wins Circle2Success Growth Award
Newport-based Premier Forest Products took home the Growth Award at the 2025 Circle2Success (C2S) Awards, which celebrate business excellence across the South West, South Wales and the Midlands.
The award recognises businesses that have shown significant growth through increased revenue, expansion of services or product development.

"Their growth over the past year has been incredible, especially with their additional focus on working with the local communities in the locations they operate in.
"They should be very proud."
The awards ceremony took place on June 26 at Cheltenham Racecourse, with more than 360 people in attendance.
