Reflecting on a Fantastic 2025 at GB Integrated Systems and Looking Ahead to an Exciting 2026
2025 proved to be a remarkable year for everyone at GB Integrated Systems Limited. From industry recognition and community involvement to the successful delivery of major projects, it was a year that reflected who we are, what we stand for, and the high standards we set ourselves every day. As we step into 2026, we’re taking a moment to reflect on some of the key highlights that made last year such a memorable one
Award-Winning Excellence
One of the proudest moments of 2025 was being named Medium Business of the Year at the Pendle Business Awards. This accolade is a testament to the hard work, commitment, and professionalism of our entire team, as well as the continued trust and confidence of our clients.
It’s an achievement we’re incredibly proud of and one that motivates us as we move into what promises to be an even more ambitious 2026.
Control4 “C4 Yourself” Open Day
Another standout moment was hosting our Control4 ‘C4 Yourself’ Open Day at our exclusive showroom within Clearly Interiors. The event offered visitors the opportunity to experience the latest in home automation first-hand and see how smart technology can enhance both residential and commercial spaces.
The level of interest, engagement, and positive feedback on the day was genuinely encouraging, and we’re very much looking forward to hosting more events like this in the future.
Celebrating Local Sporting Success
Supporting our local community remains close to our hearts. In 2025, the local netball and football teams we sponsor enjoyed some excellent success both on and off the pitch.
We’re proud to play a small part in helping sport flourish in Pendle and look forward to continuing our support and our encouragement throughout 2026.
Delivering Outstanding Projects
From complex commercial installations to beautifully executed residential systems, 2025 saw the completion of a number of impressive projects. Our team continued to deliver trusted solutions across fire and security systems, lighting control, communications, AV, and smart automation, helping businesses and homes remain safe, connected, and fully in control.
Every project reflects our commitment to quality, technical expertise, and exceptional customer care. We couldn’t be prouder of what our team achieved last year.
Looking Ahead to 2026
As we move forward into 2026, one thing remains central to everything we do: our commitment to Pendle and the surrounding areas. This isn’t just where we work, it’s where we live.
Over the coming year, we will continue to:
- Support local businesses
- Back local sports clubs
- Invest in our region
- Deliver state-of-the-art technology and life-safety solutions
With exciting projects already underway and new opportunities on the horizon, we’re ready for another year of growth, innovation, and strong community support.
Thank You
To our clients, partners, suppliers, and the wider community, thank you for your continued support throughout 2025.
We’re excited about what 2026 has in store.
Christmas Opening Times
Our office will close at 12:00 PM on Wednesday, 24th December, and will reopen at 8:30 AM on Friday, 2nd January.
For customers with a Service Contract, our out-of-hours team will be available as normal throughout the Christmas period. Call 01282 451300 for the on-call engineer number.
Finally, we’d like to take this opportunity to thank all our customers for your continued support throughout 2025 and wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

GB Integrated Systems Proud to Support Women’s Football in Lancashire
At GB Integrated Systems, we’re passionate about supporting local sport and this season we’re delighted to announce our sponsorship of Colne Ladies FC’s kit as well as Accrington Stanley Ladies FC’s talented player, Ashaara Bailey.
Our support for women’s football is part of a growing commitment to help grassroots and community teams thrive.
GBIS Director Scott Earing explains: “People might wonder why we are sponsoring more and more ladies’ football and netball players and teams as we move forward. The answer is simple — they need it more, and the little we can do, the more effect it has. If we can help just one or two up the ladder, then other companies might just follow in our footsteps.”
We believe that investing in local women’s sport not only benefits the players but also inspires the next generation. We’re proud to play our part, and we look forward to cheering on Colne Ladies FC and Ashaara Bailey throughout the 2025/26 season.
