Strathclyde Business School is sponsoring the Outstanding Contribution at The Herald Scottish Family Business Awards this year.
For family businesses, the last year and a half has brought a unique set of challenges. Coping with Covid has been a burden that none could have predicted and the on-going impact of the pandemic is continuing to cause issues that will take some time to resolve.
Yet far from being overwhelmed by the burdens that have been placed upon them, many family businesses have risen to the challenge and are emerging stronger and more focused on the future.
On December 8 the best of these outstanding performers will be recognised during The Herald Scottish Family Business Awards, in association with Business Gateway.
This year the awards will recognise excellence in 12 different categories, including Scottish Family Business of the Year (large), supported by Azets UK; Fastest Growing Family Business Award, supported by Business Gateway; Rural Family Business of the Year, supported by Family Business Solutions Ltd.
John Anderson Head of SME Growth & Board Development at Strathclyde Business School said, “Strathclyde is committed to the development of family businesses and is delighted to be part of the Scottish Family Business Awards once again. It is the highlight of the family business year and great to be back.
“At the Hunter Centre for Entrepreneurship within the Business School, we use our experience as family business researchers to inform economic policy and, with our unique Growth Advantage Programme, provide practical, accessible and useful learning so that Scotland’s family businesses can continue to be the real wealth creators in Scotland – creating employment and prosperity for our communities. Our recently launched Centre for Board & Director Development will provide a focal point for the development of directors and future leaders and is developing specific programmes for the boards and leaders of family businesses in partnership with the Institute of Directors and leading family business practitioners.”
The Herald Family Business Awards in association with Business Gateway will take place on Wednesday, 8 December.
