Their prize of ‘Retail Family Business of the Year 2023’ is a prestigious award and featured a line-up of exceptional nominees based across the UK.

Paul Andrews, the CEO of Family Business United who host the awards, commented “Family firms are the backbone of the UK economy and contribute significantly in so many ways. Family firms deserve all the recognition they can get for all the good that they do in terms of employment, income generation and wealth creation, not forgetting their continued charitable endeavours and investment in the communities in which they operate.”

Paul continues, “These awards are now in their eleventh year and each year they have raised the profile of the sector, crowned some incredible winners and discovered some true family business gems along the way. Winners over the years have come from all corners of the UK, been large and small, multi-generational and starting out but above all they share their underlying values, purpose and desire to succeed as a family firm."
