Mansfield Town

The firm have beaten hundreds of other businesses from around the UK to be named a regional finalist at this year’s awards - the highest and most prestigious accolade to be awarded to Britain’s independent, family-owned businesses.

Now in their seventh year, the Red Ribbon Awards have become the most sought-after prize for family businesses around the country. They seek to recognise and celebrate the contribution of enterprising families and entrepreneurs to the UK economy. Previous winners have included The Goring, Shepherd Neame, Michel Roux Jr at Le Gavroche, Pimlico Plumbers, Angels the Costumiers and East End Foods. 

Hall-Fast will discover if they have been crowned national winners in the ’Big Hearts’ community category when they represent the Midlands region at the prestigious national awards ceremony at Wembley Stadium on 15 July 2016.

Malcolm Hall MBE, owner of Hall-Fast, said: “We are really pleased to be national finalists and very proud to be representing the Midlands region and flying the flag for Mansfield and our local area again.” 

Amalia Brightley-Gillott, director of the Red Ribbon Awards commented: “This year we’ve seen more nominations than ever before. I’m always astounded by how many exciting, innovative and entrepreneurial businesses are out there, driven by the country’s most entrepreneurial business leaders. There are over three million family firms and they employ one in three people. 

“These awards are about recognising those businesses, the real engine room of Britain’s economy.”
