The five awards
Each award reflects the values of the family business: continuity, skill, repair and trust. We have chosen these five to represent the full breadth of generational craft.
For the family-run business that exemplifies teamwork, dedication and staying power. The firm that has become a local institution, with the name known on every street.
Recognising the passing of skills from one generation to the next. This award celebrates the parents and children who together keep a trade alive and thriving.
For the business that goes the extra mile in bringing on new talent. The award shines on apprenticeships that turn raw enthusiasm into masterful skill.
In a throwaway age, this award honours those who mend and restore with care. Whether it is furniture, buildings or machinery, preservation is their craft.
For the trader who has won the hearts of their community through honesty and quality. The one people recommend without hesitation.
Winners are announced here and listed in our Master Craftsmen archive as they are decided.
