GRAYSON RUNNERS UP MIDLANDS FAMILY BUSINESS AWARDS
We are proud to have picked up a couple of accolades at the first Midlands Family Business Awards.
The awards were devised to recognise the fact that, in tough times, the way family-run businesses do things makes them more likely to survive and prosper, keeping the economy going and people in work.
The awards were sponsored by some big names, including RSM Tenon, Barclays, Aviva, Axa Elevate, Connect, and EFG Private Bank.
Organiser The Wilson Organisation says that family-run businesses succeed because they combine a desire to maintain and build on existing traditions with a strong commitment to innovation – when we read that, it sounded so much like the way we do things at Grayson Thermal Systems that we felt we had to enter.
Grayson is not just family-run, it is family oriented. Set up by the Hateley family, which now has second and third generation members working in the business, Grayson is also fortunate to have several generations of other families represented in the offices, manufacturing facilities and service centre.
Grayson is delighted, therefore, to report that it was a runner-up in two categories:
Family Business of the Year – which was judged on the finalists’ sustained success across a broad range of measures, and was designed to showcase well-run family businesses and the achievements of their leaders.
Development of International Markets – which was for businesses that have successfully launched or expanded their international operations over the last two years, or broadened their access to international markets with new products or services.
Project Manager of the Awards, Hilary Campton, Director of V Formation Limited, commented: “All winners, finalists and indeed every single entrant of the Awards simply proves the wealth of top quality family run and owned businesses we have operating in every corner of the Midlands. Each of the Award judges and supporters has demonstrated both their understanding and support of what lies at the heart of running a successful family business. Everyone involved is thrilled at the reception this inaugural Midlands Family Business Awards has received from the regions communities.”
