CUMBRIA FAMILY BUSINESS AWARDS CEREMONY 2019

 

On Friday 8th March, Nicola Reay and I had the fantastic opportunity of attending Low Wood Bay Hotel in Windermere for the Cumbria Family Business Awards, where Reays were shortlisted in the 'Haulage, Transport & Logistics' category.

 

Arriving to a sparkling drinks reception we had the opportunity to mingle with other guests before taking our seats and enjoying a beautiful three course dinner.

 

Following dinner, the moment everyone had been waited for... where shortlisted family firms waited to hear their fate across the 11 categories. Hairy Bikers Dave Myers and Si King hosted the ceremony, keeping everyone entertained throughout. Nicola and I were thrilled to see Reays win our category where we both proudly took to the stage where we were presented with our personalised ceramic plate award, specially crafted by Miles-Moore Ceramics.

Speaking after the event, Nicola Reay, Finance Director said: "To be recognised and celebrated as the best family business in the 'Haulage, Transport & Logistics' industry in Cumbria is a fantastic achievement and I'm incredibly proud and thankful to all our team who have contributed to this success and to the judges who recognised Reays as a 'flagship' business for other Cumbrian businesses, it really is an honour."

 

Winners of each category now go forward to the national Family Business of the Year Awards in June which will take place in London and we're keeping all fingers and toes crossed for that event but in the meantime, we’re enjoying the moment of being recognised as one of the best in Cumbria.

 

We would like to take this opportunity to thank Flock Events & PR and The Family Business Network Ltd for organising the awards and to all the judges and sponsors involved in making the evening such a fabulous success. We're proud to be part of and recognised as a winner of such a prestigious title.
