Forest Group has been awarded Family Business of the Year at the Hive Awards 2021.

Neil Fraser, joint managing director at Forest Group said: "Being awarded Family Business of the Year is amazing, and truly a team effort.  We have a superb team at Forest Group, both in the office and our engineers in the field.  Our ethos of providing the very best customer service possible is delivered by every member of the team, and our family extends to each and every one of them."

The 9th annual Hive Awards Finals entertained around 300 guests from some of the region’s leading companies and organisations, joining together for the winners to be announced.

All organisations entering the awards had to go through a rigorous judging process, including written submissions assessed by an independent panel, followed by interviewsEntries were then narrowed down to just a few finalists in each of the categories.

Ian Brown, chair of the Hive Ambassadors Network said: "It was an incredible night, with some fantastic organisations in the running for an award.  The atmosphere and support for each other in the room was phenomenal; and I know I speak on behalf of the judges when I say that the high standard of business and passion shown by all the finalists had never been greater."

The successful awards night was hosted by Radio host Trevor Jordan, with entertainment provided by Steve Royle from Britain’s Got Talent, and talented singer Miranda Myles.  Huge thanks to the organisers KR-PR, the Sponsors, the judges and to everyone else involved in creating such an amazing event.
