HMG Paints, a leading manufacturer in the coatings industry, has been shortlisted for two prestigious awards at the National Family Business Awards 2025. HMG are finalists for the North and Northern Ireland Family Business of the Year award.

Furthermore, HMG Paints has been nominated for the People’s Choice award (North and Northern Ireland). The award is one of the most coveted of the event as it is voted for by the public, those who are at the forefront of receiving and reviewing a company’s service.

The nominations follow HMG’s previous success at the Family Business of the Year awards in 2023, in which the company was honoured with the Manufacturing Family Business of the Year title. As the company celebrates its 95th anniversary, these nominations further solidify HMG’s position as a proud Manchester based family business and leader within the coatings industry.

Speaking on the event, Paul Andrews, Founder and CEO of Family Business United said “Family firms are the engine room of the national economy, and these awards celebrate all their achievements. This is always a fantastic evening where the family business community comes together to celebrate the very best of British family firms. All our winners are fantastic examples of great British family firms, and it is a real honour o host these awards and celebrate with them.”

HMG will also be considered for the national categories, as well as special awards, including Innovation, Sustainability, and Community Involvement. All entries will also compete for the title of Supreme Family Business of the Year.

Speaking on HMG’s nominations at the 2025 National Family Business Awards, Marketing Manager Paddy Dyson stated “Being nominated for the North and Northern Ireland People’s Choice award is a great honour and recognition of the efforts of everyone at HMG. We’re looking forward to the event and celebrating the work Family Businesses do across the UK, and hopefully it’s a successful night for us too and we hope our extended community can help us to the People’s Choice award by casting their vote.”

The event winners will be announced at the Gala Awards Evening on Wednesday, 18th June 2025 at The Royal geographical Society in South Kensington, London. HMG look forward to celebrating with so many inspirational family businesses.
