HM Chartered Accountants was delighted to once again sponsor the Family Business of the Year Award at the AIB Business Eye Awards, as the event celebrated its 20th anniversary of recognising business excellence across Northern Ireland.
The annual awards bring together businesses and industry leaders from across Northern Ireland to recognise outstanding achievements, innovation and contributions to the local economy.
As a long-standing supporter of Northern Ireland's family business community and co-founder of the NI Family Business Forum alongside Ulster University, HM Chartered Accountants recognises the important role family-owned enterprises play in driving economic growth, creating employment and supporting local communities.
This year's Family Business of the Year Award was presented to Openfolde, with McKeever Hotels and McColgan's both receiving Highly Commended recognition.
HM Chartered Accountants congratulates all three businesses on their achievements and their continued contribution to Northern Ireland's business landscape.

Through our involvement with the NI Family Business Forum, we remain committed to supporting these businesses as they navigate the opportunities and challenges associated with growth, succession and leadership.
