We are delighted to announce that Thomas Martin of Arco has been included within the inaugural Family Business United ‘Family Business Top 100,’ which recognises the exceptional contribution of individuals and their work within a family business.

Recognition in respect of:

Inspirational Leader

Thomas Martin, Chairman of Arco, has led a public affairs campaign to generate all-party political discussion on safety issues across UK business sectors.

Throughout the last 12 months, he’s focussed on the risks of non-compliant PPE, demanding the Government takes stronger action to stop this. He’s had regular contact and briefings with Michael Kearny at the OPSS, written to Paul Scully at BEIS on the relaxation of PPE regulations and conformity post-Brexit, and developed a Position Paper on Arco’s experience and learnings from the Government’s response to COVID-19. All confirm his drive to preserve the UK’s safety credentials.

"Furthermore, he has been an inspirational leader of Arco for many years before stepping up to the role of Chairman and is a fervent supporter and ambassador for all things family business and well deserving of his place within the Family Business Top 100."
