The Leading Adviser to Family Businesses award is sponsored by Unum.
Almost all family businesses will need to seek professional advice of some form during the course of operation. Whether it be accountancy and business advisory, legal, banking and financial, recruitment, marketing or management consultancy, it is important to recognise the valuable contribution that professional advisers make to the family business community.
This award recognises advisers that have a track record of providing outstanding support and advice to family businesses. Advisers can come from all areas of the professions, from accountancy and business advisory, legal, banking and financial, recruitment, marketing or management consultancy.
So, if you're a family business wanting to turn the spotlight onto an outstanding adviser, or if you are an adviser proud of your achievements and looking for recognition then this award is for you.
Award criteria
Advisers must be based in the Midlands and have worked with family businesses in the past two years.
Judging details
The judging panel will be led by the head of a Northamptonshire-based family business. The five shortlisted family businesses will be invited to an informal interview in Plumtree, Nottinghamshire on Monday 17 September.
