CRUSHER and screener manufacturer Red Rhino is celebrating after being named Family Business of the Year at the Midlands Family Business Awards.
The annual ceremony recognises the contributions made by family businesses from across a range of sectors.
Over 50 firms were shortlisted across nine categories – including Sustainability, Property & Construction Excellence, Digital & Tech Innovation and Family Business of the Year.
Red Rhino won the Family Business of the Year category after impressing judges with the team’s ‘drive, passion and ability to embrace innovation’, as well as its ongoing commitment to demonstrate ‘excellence in business performance while fostering a culture of integrity, resilience and long-term vision’.
The business is situated in Grantham and was acquired in 2009 by Winfield Engineering – a family owned and managed business with over 50 years of specialist engineering experience in the supply of agricultural and commercial fabrications.
Red Rhino’s product range includes crushers and screeners suited to small-scale construction and demolition projects, as well as larger remote controlled crushers and screeners with the ability to crush and organise material such as concrete, brick and other building waste into reusable material.
The business has enjoyed significant growth over recent years and continues to attract new customers around the world.
Company director Laura Winfield said, “This award means so much to us. It’s not just special for the Winfield family, it’s special for the entire Red Rhino team who make what we do so rewarding every single day.
“We pride ourselves on our commitment to employing locally to transform the lives of people in our community. Everyone who walks through our doors – be they employees, customers or partners – are thought of as an extension of our family and I think it’s these embedded family values that allow us to think outside of the box, innovate and form long-lasting partnerships with organisations around the world.
“It is really encouraging to see the difference that family businesses make on a local and national level. Family businesses are the backbone of the economy and seeing so many in attendance fills me with immense pride. I would like to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has supported and believed in us, as well as a big congratulations to all of this year’s finalists and winners.”
