CAMPDEN FB AWARDS


LOOKING TO THE FUTURE A In association with:


utomation, disruption, and the rise of artificial intelligence—all these 21st century technology trends can be seen as both challenges to existing family businesses and opportunities. Two vital ingredients to help business families prosper in the future and use these trends to their advantage are adaptation and leadership.


The annual European Families in Business Awards is a golden opportunity to see great examples of family businesses adapting and leading in their respective industries, while preserving proud traditions.


From radical innovation labs, both within and outside the family enterprise, to cutting-edge payments and digital systems, and leading sustainability initiatives, family businesses are making the most of these advances.


To help celebrate these future-focused families, CampdenFB, in association with Societe Generale Private Banking, is proud to be hosting this prestigious awards ceremony for the seventh occasion.


The past six years have taken us across the continent from Amsterdam, to Paris, Barcelona, Berlin, Prague, and now Madrid. So it is exciting to be back in Spain— the home of so many great family enterprises.


Selecting a winner from many worthy candidates in six categories each year is always a tough task for the judges. Candidates for Top Family Business this year include two local contenders, automotive specialists Grupo Antolin and hoteliers, Meliá Hotels; Swiss food innovators Ricola; Britain’s oldest wine and spirits merchant; and Ireland’s impressive Musgrave Group.


A final thanks to this year’s returning panel of judges: Harri Broman, Denise Kenyon-Rouvinez, Alfredo de Massis, and Andy Rubin, who have given their valuable time to decide on a fascinating, and diverse, range of businesses from 10 different countries.


Enjoy toasting Europe’s best-in-class family businesses!
