Fresh Start Waste proud to support ‘The Face of British Family Business’ campaign.

As Paul Andrews, Founder and Managing Director of FBU explains, “I have been championing the family business sector for over 20 years and 2021 sees us celebrating the tenth anniversary of the creation of Family Business United and we wanted to do something to celebrate. Family firms are the backbone of the UK economy with family firms the length and breadth of the nation. The ‘face’ represents the sector in a way that has never been portrayed before, celebrating the old and the new, together with the diversity of family business leadership too.”

“The ‘face’ is a great way to celebrate the importance of family firms across the UK who over the past 18 months have shown their resilience and strength in dealing with the pandemic.  Many of the individuals featured are involved with long-standing family businesses that have been around for generations and see themselves as custodians of the business for future generations, continuing making decisions for the long term, innovating and demonstrating entrepreneurship to achieve their goals,” continues Paul.

“It was a real pleasure collating the ‘face’ and we really do feel that this is a positive endorsement of the diversity of the family business sector across the UK today,” concludes Paul.

Nicola McGrath, CEO at Fresh Start Waste commented: “We are proud to be a British family business and to support this campaign. As a second-generation family business who provide businesses across the Northwest with waste collection and recycling services and employ over 100 people, we take pride in the culture we have developed. We understand our staff’s desire for a work-life balance and are passionate as a leadership team about supporting staff. We care about our team and in turn our team cares about the business.  Together we make Fresh Start a great place to work.”
