Safety specialist Arco has won the Yorkshire Family Business of the Year Award at the Family Business United Awards, in which it was up against more than 200 national businesses.
The judges recognised the role which the Martin family plays through its stewardship and investment in the business. Whether that be through being active members in our communities through charitable work or lobbying for change in parliament against non-compliant PPE, their passion, expertise and support is invaluable.
At a ceremony held in London, fifth-generation family member Charley Seward, who’s Supplier Relationships and Transformation Manager, Becky Casson, Buying Director, picked up the award on Arco’s behalf.
Mr Seward said: “I was delighted to accept the award on behalf of the 1600 members of the Arco family who make this business tick. As colleagues, we know we have something very special at Arco, but it’s wonderful to have this validated by Family Business United too.”
CEO Guy Bruce added: “It’s a privilege and honour to have our business recognised in this space and to be able to share in the celebrations with other family business of all sizes, generations and sectors who were also awarded on the night. “Congratulations to all colleagues on this achievement – you all play a part in making this business great.”
