Societe Generale Private Banking backs family business awards

Societe Generale Private Banking has lent its backing to the CampdenFB European Families in Business Awards 2012.

The awards will be sponsored by the Paris-based bank, the two organisations said on 5 April.

Announcing the partnership, David Bain, editorial director of Campden Wealth, said: “The European Families in Business Awards are set to establish themselves as the premier awards for family businesses, and working in association with Societe Generale Private Banking will only enhance their importance.”

Nicolas Cagi Nicolau, head of commercial and marketing at Societe Generale Private Banking, said the bank was “delighted” to sponsor the first ever European Families in Business Awards.

“Family businesses play an important role in preserving and growing the wealth of families. They represent one of the strategic areas of development for Societe Generale Private Banking and for Societe Generale Group as a whole,” he added.

The sponsorship follows Societe Generale Private Banking and Societe Generale CIB's launch of a service called Private Investment Banking, which is aimed at wealthy entrepreneurs with a holding company or family office and covers wealth management and investment banking, for the management of both private wealth and business.

The awards, which will be held at the 9th European Families in Business Conference in Amsterdam, will honour the top family business, next-gen, family business leader, non-family director and sustainable family business.
