This award is open to first generation family owned companies, multi-general businesses and publically owned firms in which
founding families still hold a significant stake.
Applicants will be judged on the progress of the business and how family members have pulled together to contribute to the
overall success. The judges would also like to know what roles each family member has, how they have demonstrated best
practice, worked with non-family members, developed younger family members/future leaders and implemented successful
generation transitions.
