Twenty-one businesses from the East Midlands have been shortlisted for the Family Business Awards.

Nottingham’s Asiana, Premiere Travel and Frank Key Group have made the list of finalists alongside Leicestershire's Hallmark Consumer Services and H J Sock Group.

Herbert Baggaley Construction in Mansfield, CW Sellors and Frank Key Group have all been shortlisted for the headline Midlands Family Business of the Year Award, sponsored by accountants Smith Cooper.

The companies, which have been listed alongside 23 businesses from the West Midlands, will compete for ten awards.

Other categories include Best Small Family Business and Best Advisory Firm to Family Businesses.

The awards, with which Insider is media partner, are underwritten by insurance company The Wilson Organisation.

Wilsons' chief executive, Annabel Prow, who coordinated the shortlisting process, said: "Both the volume and quality of this year's entries ensured that the judges had a busy September deciding on the top five for each category.

"Our rigorous scoring system was combined with some very healthy debate and we are delighted to see such a strong selection of Midlands family businesses represented in the shortlists. We wish them every success in the interview round."
