Gorvins Solicitors, a leading law firm based in Stockport, is thrilled to announce their continued sponsorship of the prestigious North West Family Business Awards (which will be held on Friday 10th May at Bolton Wanderers Football Club). Christian Mancier, one of the firm’s 17 partners, is also honoured to be serving on the judging panel for the awards once again.

As a cornerstone of the North West business community, Gorvins Solicitors is dedicated to supporting and celebrating the achievements of family businesses across the region. The firm’s Specialist Family Business Team provides comprehensive legal services for family businesses of all shapes and sizes covering everything from corporate structures, succession planning, wills and estate planning, business health and family wealth, to matrimonial issues and litigation.

Christian also brings a unique perspective to the family business community – his wife is an integral part of her second-generation family business where she works with her mum and sister, providing Christian with firsthand experience of the challenges and successes that come with running a family business. With years of experience in this area, Christian has a truly in-depth understanding of the highs and lows that family businesses navigate both in, and out, of the office.

Speaking of their involvement in the Awards, Christian says: “We are delighted to renew our sponsorship of the North West Family Business Awards. Family businesses are the backbone of our economy, and we’re proud to support an event that acknowledges their contributions and accomplishments. This sponsorship reflects our ongoing commitment to fostering strong relationships within this unique business community. It is such a special and supportive network of people – when they come together to share experiences, family businesses are very honest about both the ups and the downs. They are keen to learn from experts and indeed from other family businesses, and I believe this collaborative spirit is the reason why so many go on to achieve great success. Witnessing this openness and the eagerness to learn during the awards judging day and ‘on-site’ visits as part of the judging process and listening to their story, every one of which is truly unique, is utterly inspiring.”

The North West Family Business Awards ceremony promises to be an evening of celebration and recognition, showcasing the outstanding achievements of family-owned businesses in the region. Gorvins Solicitors is honoured to contribute to an event that shines a spotlight on the resilience, creativity, and success of family businesses in the North West.
