Nottingham law firm Young & Pearce is offering £500
worth of legal advice to the winner of the "Best Newly Established"
category in the 2010 Midlands Family Business Awards.
Young & Pearce was an early supporter of the not-for-profit
family business awards initiative, as partner Richard Bates
explains:
"We are fortunate to work with many family businesses, both
long-established and new, and were very keen to put our backing
behind an initiative that seeks to recognise the contribution that
these businesses make to our regional economy and wider
community.
"Young & Pearce is sponsoring the Best Newly-Established
category, which recognises family-owned and run businesses that
have been set up since 2006. These new enterprises are the
potential Wilkinsons, Dunelms and Pukka Pies of the next decade and
we hope that our gesture of a £500 legal fees voucher to the
eventual winner of the award will help them in their quest to
establish a solid, sound and successful enterprise."
Richard adds: "We are also very grateful to James Timpson,
Managing Director of Timpson, for leading the judging panel for the
Best Newly Established category. As MD of a successful and thriving
family business he will be able to provide some valuable insights
and advice to the short-listed businesses."
The Midlands Family Business Awards is a not-for-profit venture,
with all proceeds going to charities supporting young enterprise
and young people. The winners will be announced at a black tie
awards ceremony at Nottinghamshire's Thrumpton Hall on 11 November
2010. Other award categories will recognise: 'Best development of
talent', 'Overcoming adversity', 'Personal excellence',
'Development of international markets', 'Business innovation of the
year', 'Fastest growing family business', 'Commitment to the
community', 'Leading adviser to family businesses', and 'Family
business of the year'.
