A vibrant bunch

Founder and Managing Director of Family Business United, Paul Andrews, explains, “We are delighted to be able to pull together such a vibrant bunch of family businesses. Some that have succeeded for numerous generations and continue to thrive, and others that are relatively young but have great values at the heart of what they do. Not only are the shortlisted firms in with a shot at taking the Midlands title, they are also in the running to be crowned the Best of British as the Supreme Champion Family Business of the Year for 2019.”
