A regional business advisory firm has been recognised for the services it provides to family-run companies by scooping an award.
Cooper Parry beat off strong competition to win the “Leading Adviser” category in the first-ever Midlands Family Business Awards.
The firm won the prize following a rigorous application process and assessment interview. Other shortlisted companies in the running for the award included PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), Smith Cooper, Action Coach and Vistage.
Colin Shaw, the firm’s Chairman, said: “We are delighted to have won this award which is a major achievement for us and a real testimony to the work we do and the service we provide to family businesses in the region.”
“As a business we have always understood the huge role played by family businesses to the local economy and it is a real honour to be recognised for our part in helping them to thrive and contribute to the community in which we live.”
“Winning this award goes a long way to realising our vision of being number one in our chosen markets by growing, protecting and realising value for our clients.”
The award was announced at a ceremony hosted by The Wilson Organisation at Thrumpton Hall, attended by hundreds of family business owners and professionals.
Designed as a not-for-profit venture, all proceeds from the awards will go to three charities that support young enterprise and young people: The Children's Society, The Willow Foundation and The Venture Foundation.
