The 2024 Awards Gallery is now live! Just last week our finalists, sponsors and judges gathered at Athena in Leicester to celebrate our region's fantastic family businesses. Our photographers captured some fantastic shots of our guests enjoying the Awards Ceremony & Dinner from start to finish. If you were at Athena and want to spot yourself in the photos, or if you couldn't make it and want to see what you missed, you can view the image gallery from the Awards night here: https://lnkd.in/gJfDeC6y These Awards are not about making money, instead they are all about you - the family business community. We run them as a not-for-profit initiative thanks to the support of our wonderful sponsors, to help the Midlands' family business community share and celebrate their successes. Thank you so much to everyone involved in 2024 for making it such a wonderful Awards year, enjoy the photos! The Awards Team
