“I'm Brian Henderson and I’m delighted to be the PwC partner sponsor for the UK Private Business Awards, which is now in
its eighth year and continues to celebrate this critical part of our UK Economy.
While PwC is probably better known for working with the world’s largest companies, there’s another part of our firm that’s just as important to us and even more important to our clients. More than 25% of our business comes from advising privately owned companies, their owners and their families, so it is a critical part of our work that we are passionate about.
Over the last six years of the awards, I have had the pleasure and privilege of meeting many of the nominees, short listed companies
and winners and I am still blown away by the passion, dynamism
and stories behind the entrepreneurs and companies I have met.
From start-ups to iconic global companies and from social enterprises to family businesses, the talent, innovation and hunger to succeed amongst the UK’s private business community is unrivalled. PwC’s Private Business team continues to be well placed to support you and the market as a whole with our breadth of experience and our expertise in the sector.”

Since being founded in 2011 Family Business United (FBU) has become an award-winning magazine, resource centre and events organisation championing the contribution that family businesses make to the global economy. FBU is an innovative community with family businesses at the heart of all that we do and was formed out of our passion for the family business sector and the leadership of Paul Andrews, who has over 20 years’ experience of working with, and in, various family firms and advisory organisations.
Unlike other organisations, FBU is a resource for family businesses of all sizes and sectors, and their advisers, helping to raise the profile of the contribution that family businesses make to dispel the myths surrounding the sector, and sharing insights, research and tools to help family firms deal with the unique issues they face. FBU is a non-advisory organisation and as such works with professional advisers and academic institutions around the world to source content and share articles, insights and events to enhance the knowledge available to the family business community.
We are one of the most active family business community participants in social media activities globally with regards to family business and continue to break new ground with innovative ways to champion the family business sector.
Our network continues to grow and open up more opportunities to fly the flag for the family business sector here in the UK, dispel the myths around family firms and raise the profile of the vital contribution they make to the UK economy and beyond.
