Family businesses in Great Britain come in all sizes, spanning many sectors, and hail from all regions. Many of these businesses have been operating for hundreds of years, while others have been recently founded by family members. However, for any family firm to continually prosper, they need to ensure that they possess the entrepreneurial mindset and capability to create new streams of wealth. The Family Business Entrepreneur of the Year will be awarded to the entrepreneur/entrepreneurs leading the way and excelling within a family business.
