Red Ribbon Award 'Family Factor' 2015 -

Date: Friday 10 Jul 2015

On Friday 10 July 2015, over 300 family business guests descended upon Shakespeare’s Globe in London for the sixth annual Red Ribbon Awards – celebrating the achievements of Britain’s finest family-run businesses.

After months of searching, interviewing and filming, 11 family firms were crowned the winners of the UK’s most prestigious family business accolade. With over 3 million family firms in the UK as well as hundreds of entries for the Awards, the winners had to be exceptional.

York based family firm, Riccall Care were crowned winner of the Charles Russell Speechlys ‘Family Factor’ award. The judges commented :“The sector that they compete within is a challenging one and has received such bad press over the last few years. It is great to see that such high standards of care do exist and are thriving and that they can also be profitable businesses providing employment and investment in the local community. Secondly, the family dynamics and strengths in supporting one another in the business really come across in everything they do. In the eyes of the judges, they definitely have the ‘family factor’!”

Hosted by Family Business Place, and now in their sixth year, the awards seek to recognise and honour some of the most exciting, innovative and longstanding family businesses around the UK and the awards have become one of the most sough-after accolades in business.
