The National Family Business of the Year Awards recognises the achievements of great family firms, large and small, old and new, from all sectors of the economy.

The award ceremony took place on 19 June and longstanding Regency supplier, Allan Reeder took home two prestigious awards.

The dairy supplier was awarded the 'Family Business of the Year' Award for London & the South East as well as the highly-acclaimed 'People's Choice' Award which is determined by a public vote, sector awards and a number of national awards including innovation, ones to watch, entrepreneurship, sustainability and positive societal impact, as well as the coveted 'Essence of Family Business Award'.

Regency continues to be a family-operated business so it's great to see other family businesses being celebrated and awarded for their achievements. The Family Business of the Year Awards act as a constant reminder and celebration of the important contribution that family firms make across the UK today, through the jobs they provide, the income they generate and the wealth they create.

The whole team at Regency Purchasing Group would like to congratulate Allan and his daughter Heidi on this fantastic and well-deserved achievement.
