Family Business Lifetime Achievement Award Finalists Announced

Family Business United is delighted to announce the 12 finalists in the running for the National Family Business Lifetime Achievement Award which will be presented at a gala event in London on September 19, 2024 as part of the National Family Business Day celebrations.

As Paul Andrews, Founder and CEO of Family Business United explains, "Our finalists are both family and non-family members who have dedicated significant amounts of their working lives contributing to the success and growth of the family business that they are associated with. Running a family business can be a lonely place and we created these awards to recognise the incredible contribution that is made by individuals within these firms."

"The family business community will come together to celebrate their journeys where one of our finalists will be crowned the National Family Business Lifetime Achievement winner. Each finalist has a story to tell and when you read the submissions for each of them the emotion, personal endeavours and devotion to their path is palpable. Selecting a winner is not going to be easy."
