A leading Cumbrian accountancy firm has been recognised as one of the best in the country.
Lamont Pridmore was a runner-up at the National Family Business Awards in the Professional Service Firm of the Year category.
The firm was narrowly pipped to the post in a competitive field of 10 finalists but has won several honours in previous years at awards for family businesses, including a title for Entrepreneurship and being declared the Best Place to Work.
The awards ceremony, held at the General Practitioners Society in London, drew a crowd of more than 250 influential leaders from across the family business community.
Graham Lamont, chief executive of Lamont Pridmore, said: “Family businesses play a vital role in the success of the UK’s economy and account for some of the nation’s best small, medium and large-sized enterprises.
“We are truly honoured to be recognised at this prestigious ceremony, but this would not be possible without the exceptional work of our dedicated team. I feel truly so privileged to work with so many passionate professionals on behalf of clients.”
Chris Lamont, Graham’s son and a partner at the firm, added: “Operating a family-run business brings a unique set of challenges, but also has many advantages. We have an excellent track record for helping family businesses and so this latest accolade means a lot to us.”
