Family businesses urged to enter awards

Metal recycling and waste management specialist Ward is urging fellow Marketing Derby Bondholders to enter awards which recognise the region’s best family businesses.

The not-for-profit Midlands Family Business Awards 2024, organised by The Wilson Organisation, have recently been launched.

They recognise family businesses of all sizes, and from all sectors, across 10 award categories.

Among the sponsors are professional services firm PwC, Streets Chartered Accountants, and Ward, which is sponsoring the Small Family Business of the Year category.

Donald Ward, operations director at Ward, said: “We’re passionate about championing family business, so we’re really proud to lend our support again this year.

“As previous winners, we appreciate the opportunities that the awards offer to become part of this unique network of family run businesses.”

Entries close on Friday 6 April, with the winners announced in October. For more information visit http://www.familybusinessawards.co.uk .
