The H&H Group Plc Announces Returns to Sponsor the Agribusiness Category at the North West Family Business Awards in 2023.

H&H Group PLC continues to offer sponsorship and staff expertise to help judge the Agribusiness Category at The North West Family Business Awards 2023.

Harrison & Hetherington has a long and distinguished history, dating back to the 1870s and is now the UK’s leading and most acclaimed livestock auctioneering business with eight sales centres across the North. The H&H Group PLC’s farm stock enterprise holds a renowned reputation amongst pedigree and commercial farmers across the globe, reflecting its unrivalled expertise in the industry.

Alongside their livestock trading portfolio, H&H Group PLC has four additional businesses operating under their umbrella, namely auction rooms, insurance brokers, land and estate agencies, and a commercial printers with a digital marketing agency, demonstrating their diverse business acumen and commitment to delivering exceptional service.

Laura Millar, Head of Communication & Marketing of Harrison & Hetherington, has expressed her enthusiasm for the company’s decision to support the NWFBAs for a second year which has given her the unique opportunity to meet the finalists firsthand and submerge herself in the family businesses who were shortlisted finalists for the Agribusiness category.

The agricultural industry is a cornerstone of the UK economy, generating an impressive £24 billion and counting – a testament to the hard work and dedication of those involved in farming and agricultural-related activities. The Family Business Awards is a great opportunity to recognise and celebrate the inspiring individuals who are making a real difference within the industry.

The families behind many farms are the driving force of their success, their commitment and hard work spanning generations enable a business to flourish and stand the test of time. I was looking for businesses that have a strong, shared vision for the future and have a clear structure of responsibilities to support it and this year’s finalists did not disappoint.”

Co-founders of the Family Business Community, Dave Clarkson & Sue Howorth said:

 “We’re thrilled to have the continued support of H&H Group, and having Laura return to judge the Argibusiness Category once again this year. With her own Agribusiness background, Laura has a wealth of expertise within the field.

We are proud to be representing and celebrating all our Family Businesses finalists and we hope you will join us in May in the celebration of their incredible achievements.”

The shortlisted finalists Cheshire Farm Chips of Frodsham Cheshire, R.G. and M. Falshaw Nabbs Farm – Falshaw’s Farm Shop of Bury, Burns Farm of Keswick, A.J Forster Ltd of Penrith and Hoof Count of Preston will now be invited to the awards ceremony, an event which is becoming one of the most popular dates on the Business Awards calendar.

The North West Family Business Award Ceremony will soar to new heights on 19th May 2023 at the unique Concorde Conference Centre, Manchester. You don’t need to be a finalist to join the celebrations as tickets for the prestigious awards ceremony are now on sale via the North West Family Business Awards website.
