Ballards Removals in Tuxford has won the ‘Service Excellence’ award at the 2016 Midlands Family Business Awards.

The presentation dinner was held at Birmingham’s Great Hall on 17 November, 2016.

The awards scheme was created by the Wilson Organisation in Nottingham, to celebrate family run and owned businesses across the Midlands, from Telford to the Lincolnshire coast. The awards are highly valued by businesses in the area and there were over 1,000 nominations this year.

“We were competing against some excellent local businesses who, like us, provide services in Nottingham, Derby and across the Midlands,” said Matthew Ballard, Director. “We'd like to commend all of this year's finalists.”

Wilsons’ MD Charlotte Perkins, the third generation of the family to lead the business alongside her sister Annabel Prow, said: “The awards are the region’s only independent initiative to recognise the work and achievements of family businesses. This year’s entries demonstrate the exceptional pedigree of the Midlands’ family businesses, and all the winners and finalists together prove the family business sector’s vitality and significant contribution to the region’s economy.”
