MANCHESTER, UK — Manchester-based family business HMG Paints Ltd. accepted the Essence of Family Business award and the inaugural Next Generation Ambassador award for fourth-generation family member, Rebecca Falder, at the annual Family Business United (FBU), Family Business of the Year Awards evening. The virtual awards ceremony welcomed 96 family business finalists to view the ceremony at home. HMG not only accepted two awards during the ceremony but was also a runner up in the Manufacturing and North and Northern Ireland categories, which HMG previously won in 2017.
At the 2021 Family Business of the Year Awards, HMG accepted the Essence of Family Business award. Commenting on the win, Amit Sharma, Partner at Goodman Jones and sponsors of this award, said, “In spite of the challenging and turbulent year, it was a joy to see how so many families and their businesses had risen to the challenge, and in many cases turned disaster into opportunity. There were so many examples of how they had cared for their community during the pandemic as well as looking after staff and that mindset of looking to the future and caring for the next generation were qualities that we felt were key for this award. HMG Paints are truly worthy recipients of the Essence of Family Business award for 2021.”
