SBS sponsors The Herald Family Awards

Strathclyde Business School is once again sponsoring The Herald Scottish Family Business Awards which have been running now for more than a decade. In that time the awards have recognised dozens of businesses of all sizes where the emphasis on providing great products and outstanding services has been built on strong family roots.

Companies like these make up two thirds of all businesses in Scotland and they make a hugely-important contribution to national employment as well as to the wealth of the country.

This year there are 12 categories and organisations have until Tuesday, October 18 to submit their applications. Strathclyde is sponsoring the outstanding contribution award.

John Anderson, Director of Growth Programmes at Strathclyde Business School, said,” The Herald Family Business Awards in December will mark a moment to celebrate and pay tribute to Scottish family businesses, and what they mean to Scotland and the economy.

“As Scotland’s leading business school, Strathclyde Business School is committed to the development of family businesses and is delighted to be part of The Herald Scottish Family Business Awards once again.

"We use our experience as family business researchers and practitioners to inform economic policy and to provide practical, accessible and useful learning through our award winning Growth Advantage Programme and bespoke in-company programmes for the boards and leaders of family businesses.

“We believe that Scotland’s family businesses are the original responsible businesses and continue to be the real wealth creators in Scotland – creating employment and prosperity for our communities – and we are looking forward to celebrating their achievements once more.”

This year’s winners will be revealed at an awards ceremony on Thursday, December 1 in the Radisson Blu Hotel in Glasgow and full details of the event and how to enter can be found here
