Red Rhino crowned Family Business of the Year at the coveted Midlands Family Business Awards

It was a night to remember for Lincolnshire crusher and screener manufacturer Red Rhino, after the team took home the Family Business of the Year award at the glittering Midlands Family Business Awards.

The coveted annual ceremony shines a light on family businesses of all sizes from across a range of sectors, providing them with the opportunity to be recognised for their significant contribution to the region’s economy and its local communities.

Over fifty businesses were shortlisted across nine categories - including Sustainability, Property & Construction Excellence, Digital & Tech Innovation and Family Business of the Year.

Following a rigorous judging process, Red Rhino was named as the winner of the Family Business of the Year category. The judges recognised the team’s drive, passion and ability to embrace innovation, as well as its ongoing commitment to demonstrate excellence in business performance while fostering a culture of integrity, resilience and long-term vision.

The business is situated in Grantham and was acquired in 2009 by Winfield Engineering - a family owned and managed business with over 50 years of specialist engineering experience in the supply of agricultural and commercial fabrications.

Red Rhino’s product range includes crushers and screeners suited to small-scale construction and demolition projects, as well as larger remote controlled crushers and screeners with the ability to crush and organise material such as concrete, brick and other building waste into reusable material.

The business, which manufactures its products in the UK, has enjoyed significant growth over recent years and continues to attract new customers in every corner of the globe - from the USA, to central Europe.

The team scooped the Family Business of the Year award at a glittering event on Thursday 3rd October at Athena in Leicester. For company Director, Laura Winfield, it was a special occasion for the whole team and testament to the positive influence that family businesses have on the national economy.

“This award means so much to us. It’s not just special for the Winfield family, it’s special for the entire Red Rhino team who make what we do so rewarding every single day,”

“We pride ourselves on our commitment to employing locally to transform the lives of people in our community. Everyone who walks through our doors - be they employees, customers or partners - are thought of as an extension of our family and I think it’s these embedded family values that allow us to think outside of the box, innovate and form long-lasting partnerships with organisations around the world.”

“It is really encouraging to see the difference that family businesses make on a local and national level,” adds Laura. “Family businesses are the backbone of the economy and seeing so many in attendance fills me with immense pride. I would like to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has supported and believed in us, as well as a big congratulations to all of this year’s finalists and winners.”
