Telfords, located on Grearshill Road in Kingstown Carlisle, has been shortlisted for two accolades at the North West Family Business Awards 2024.

The family firm with more than 50 years trading history traces its roots back to Willow Holme.

Telfords has involved itself with community initiatives such as Carlisle Youth Zone, Cumbria Pride, and Cash 4 Kids.

The company has been nominated for Employee of the Year and People's Choice awards.

The tragic passing of core team member, Mike Telford, in a motor accident in 2012, didn't deter the family from preserving and maintaining their vehicle enterprise.

The nominee for the Employee of the Year award is the general manager, Ella, who invested her youth in the family business.

Alongside her are her brothers, Jack and Harry, who transformed their roles from valeters to business directors.

Greg Telford, who has been at the helm of the business since the late 80s, continues to guide the firm.

Founded by Mike and Shirley Telford, Telfords' stands as a testament to the strong family ties.

As a third-generation family business preparing for its fourth with newly born granddaughters, Telfords are looking forward to a promising future.

Telfords are eager for the award ceremony taking place at Bolton Stadium today (May 10).
