Wallis Shipping Services Shortlisted for National Family Business of the Year Award

Wallis Shipping Services is thrilled to announce that we have been shortlisted for the prestigious National Family Business of the Year Awards by Family Business United. This recognition is an incredible milestone for our business, and we are now in the running for one of the coveted titles, which will be awarded at the ceremony in June.

As part of this esteemed competition, businesses across the UK will compete for the overall Supreme Champion Family Business of the Year title, which celebrates the excellence of family-run enterprises from all sectors and regions. Previous winners have come from diverse backgrounds, both young and established family firms.

The awards are divided into various categories, with recognition given to businesses for innovation, sustainability, community involvement, and much more.

For WSSL, this achievement represents not only our dedication to growth but also our commitment to the values that have driven our success over the past 40 years. Managing Director Stuart Gregory, who founded the company alongside his wife and co-owner Sue Gregory, expressed his excitement:

“It is great to be recognised as one of the top family businesses in the country. We are up against some well-established family names, but as a now second-generation business, we have plans to continue growing as a family-run company.

“Family businesses like ours are fundamental to the UK economy and are often overlooked, yet we are the backbone of British business. We love, where possible, to work with family business clients and suppliers.”

He went on to say: “As a family business, we are proud of the roots we've built in the shipping and logistics industry. We value the relationships that have helped us grow, both with our team and with our partners.”
