Wallis Shipping National Family Business of the Year Finalist
Wallis Shipping, a leading UK-based freight forwarding and logistics company, is proud to announce that it has been named a finalist in the East Anglia category of the prestigious National Family Business of the Year Awards 2025.
Organised by Family Business United, these awards recognise and celebrate the significant contribution that family-owned businesses make to the UK economy. Finalists are selected based on their strong family values, community impact, innovation, and sustained business success.
The awards are divided into various categories, with recognition given to businesses for innovation, sustainability, community involvement, and much more.
“We’re absolutely delighted to be recognised as a finalist in this year’s Family Business of the Year Awards,” said Stuart Gregory, Managing Director of Wallis Shipping. “As a second-generation family business, this acknowledgement is a real honour and a testament to the hard work, resilience, and commitment of our entire team.”
Founded in 1987, Wallis Shipping has grown from a small family venture into a globally operating freight forwarding business. Headquartered in Colchester, Essex, with offices in London and the Midlands, the company remains independently owned and family-managed, with a strong focus on personalised service and long-term client relationships.
“This nomination means a great deal to us,” Stuart continued. “It reflects not only our history and family heritage, but also our forward-thinking approach and the shared values that continue to drive our business. We’re incredibly proud to be representing East Anglia and to stand alongside so many outstanding family businesses from across the country.”
Others in the category include: Cambridge Juice Company Ltd, Jenolite, Cladspray Solutions, Rose Calendars, RSP UK Suction Excavators Ltd, Source One Consulting and White Bicycle Ltd
The winners of the National Family Business of the Year Awards will be announced in June at a ceremony in London.
