Ashford Business Awards 2025 Best Family Business Thumbnail

Last night at the Ashford International Hotel, Kentec Training was honoured to win the Best Family Business 2025 award at the Kent Business Awards - Ashford.

The award was presented to Kentec Training Manager Director Steve Booker and Director Kandy Booker, Operations Director Jadie Booker, and Training Services Manager Laura Cruickshank - a truly special moment for us as a family, as a team, and as a business.

At Kentec Training, our focus has always been on service, quality, and making a real difference to the way people are trained. To have this recognised in such a competitive year, with so many exceptional family-owned businesses across Kent, means more than words can say.

Steve had this to say:

"I couldn’t be prouder of our outstanding team, whose hard work, passion, and commitment to quality have made this achievement possible. And I feel incredibly blessed to spend every day working alongside my wife, my daughter and two sons in a business we are all so proud of."

We'd like to give a huge thank you to everyone who has supported Kentec. This is the second award we were nominated for this year, and to be finalists in both – and winners of one - is something truly special.

Needless to say, we're looking forward to what 2026 holds for us! Here’s to our team, our family, and continuing to raise the standards of training across our industry. ❤️
