FAMILIES BERRY AND RUDD SECTOR WINE AND SPIRITS COUNTRY UNITED KINGDOM


Britain’s original wine and spirits merchant and the ninth oldest private family business in the UK was founded in 1698. Over the past two years, Berry Bros & Rudd has succeeded in refocusing the company’s core priorities under a new chief executive, Dan Jago, and now new chair, Lizzy Rudd, a third generation Rudd family member. The company reported a turnover of £171 million ($213 million) in the year to 31 March 2017, the strongest sales performance for the family owned business since 2011.

Still 100% owned by the founding Antolin family, who are now in the second and third generations, Grupo Antolin lists its family ownership as one of its key strengths, “which ensures a decision-making with a long- term vision”. In a traditionally male-dominated industry, it has progressive gender diversity—three of its seven board members are women— which powers impressive financial performance. It posted record sales of €5 billion ($6 billion) in 2017, up 10% from a year ago, all after starting as a mechanics garage specialising in vehicle and agriculture machinery repairs in Burgos, Spain.
