Celebrating 100 years: Chamber of Commerce recognises Marsden

Published on 10 Nov 2026

Our centenary year may be coming to an end, but the celebrations continue, with the latest milestone coming in the form of special recognition from the local Chamber of Commerce.

Members of our team had the pleasure of attending the Barnsley and Rotherham Business Awards at the Magna Science Adventure Centre on November 6, where Marsden was acknowledged for reaching its remarkable 100-year anniversary.

Organised by the Barnsley and Rotherham Chamber of Commerce, the awards champion business excellence, innovation and resilience across South Yorkshire. They also provide an opportunity to recognise organisations that have made a lasting contribution to the local economy and community over many decades.

Receiving a 'Salute to Business' recognition during our centenary year made the evening particularly special and provided a fitting opportunity to reflect on a century of growth, innovation and commitment to our valued customers.

Lewis Davis, our Managing Director, explains: “To receive recognition from the Chamber of Commerce during our centenary year is a real honour. Reaching 100 years in business is testament to all of the hard work, dedication and expertise of generations of Marsden employees, as well as the loyalty of our customers and partners.

“While we are incredibly proud of our history, we are equally excited about the future and continuing to innovate and support our customers for many years to come.”

Recognition often comes in the form of sales figures, growth milestones or new product launches. However, taking a moment to celebrate longevity offers a different perspective, highlighting the consistency, adaptability and commitment required to build a business that withstands the test of time.

 

As the celebrations continue, this latest acknowledgement serves as another proud chapter in our 100-year story.
