Family business contributions celebrated

Every September, Australia and New Zealand celebrate National Family Business Day – a day designed to recognise the invaluable contribution family businesses make to the economy, community, and culture.

On Monday, September 19, family businesses throughout Australia and New Zealand, no matter how small or large they are, have one collective thing in common, they all have a family business story to tell. Whether they’re a multi-generation business, a dynamic husband and wife duo or siblings – each of their businesses is interwoven with their family values and ethos. Family businesses aren’t just in business for profits, they build a legacy.

FBANZ CEO Greg Griffiths says “Family Businesses contribute to the Australia and New Zealand economy like no other business sector and it is great to be able to celebrate them on National Family Business Day.”

Greg Griffiths says, “FBANZ are committed to continuing to support family businesses both in Australia and New Zealand, to ensure they are transition ready and successful across multiple generations.”

This National Family Business Day, Family Business New Zealand is excited to announce the 2022 awards program recipients that celebrate excellence in family businesses across small, medium and large categories who are available for interviews. They are:
