A word from two of the award sponsors .....
(Andrew Alder, Managing Partner, Princecroft Willis) said,
As the largest firm of independent Chartered Accounts and Business Advisers in Dorset, Princecroft Willis is proud to be associated with the Dorset Business Awards.
We are especially pleased for the second year running to sponsor the Family Business of the Year Award. Through the Princecroft Willis Family Business Club we seek to support family businesses and acknowledge their important contribution to the local economy. Family businesses face a number of unique issues with only one-third surviving to the second generation. Our award seeks to recognise those family businesses which, despite the challenges, have achieved excellence, success and longevity.
