Deadline extended for European Families in Business Awards 2017 nominations
The top leaders, entrepreneurs, innovators and ventures in European family business have a little extra time to be nominated for the community's most prestigious awards.
The submissions deadline for the European Families in Business Awards 2017 has been pushed back by one week to 17 March due to an “overwhelming response," organisers said.
“I have fielded a number of requests to extend the deadline and decided that more family businesses will be able to promote their achievements by granting requests for the extension,” CampdenFB editor and judge Nicholas Moody said this week.
The competition will be judged by a mixture of family business leaders and academics and will be presented to those 'hidden champions' who are doing great things for the sector.
The six categories this year are:
- Top family business
- Top family business leader
- Top family business rising star
- Top next-generation entrepreneur
- Top non-family director
- Top sustainable business
The sixth annual award ceremony will be held on 20 June in Prague.
The popular ceremony is always well attended—past winners have included Messer Group, the Mack Family, Fiege Group, the Prym family, Danfoss, Pentland Group and Puig. The gala dinner accompanies one of Campden Wealth's flagship events, the European Families in Business Conference, now in its 14th year.

Deputy Head Patrick Folléa said Societe Generale Private Banking was “very proud” to be a partner of the European Family in Business conference and awards for the sixth consecutive year.
“It is truly a major rendezvous for families in business across all Europe, offering both global perspective and very sincere and productive discussions on family issues. We are very much looking forward to the next edition in Prague.”
