Est. for family trade
The Podmore & Sons Awards recognise the independent, family-run businesses that keep our high streets and trades alive.
For generations, family firms have been the backbone of British industry. The name on the van is a promise of quality, and the skills passed down are more than just a living, they are a legacy.
Podmore & Sons Awards were created to honour that legacy. We are independent, proud and rooted in the traditions of honest work. No pay-to-play here, just merit judged fairly.
In a world of faceless corporations, the family firm stands out as a beacon of personal pride. The craftsman who signs his name on the work, the apprentice who learns at his father's side, the shop that has served the same street for a century, they all deserve more than a passing nod.
We started these awards to put the spotlight back on those who keep tradition alive, who repair what others would discard, and who trade with trust and integrity.
Simply submit your nomination through our form. There is no charge, and no hidden costs.
A panel of independent judges with their own family trade backgrounds will assess each entry fairly.
Winners are announced on our website, with certificates and recognition for the trade.
Nominate them for a Podmore & Sons Award today. It is free, and it could mean the world to them.
