Family business award

Hull-based J.R. Rix & Sons has been presented with a top accolade at this year’s Family Business of the Year awards. The business won the Transport and Logistics category in the awards run by Family Business United – an organisation that supports family-owned firms in the UK.

Tim Rix, managing director of J.R. Rix and Sons, said the win was a tremendous achievement for the company. “As a company we have always sought to keep ahead of developments in business practices, the markets we operate in and the developing markets where we see opportunities, as demonstrated by our successful diversification into crew transfer vessels for the offshore wind farm industry. It is fantastic to have our achievements recognised by the Family Business United awards.”

J.R. Rix & Sons Ltd’s is a fifth-generation family company that has operated from across the UK from its Yorkshire headquarters for more than 140 years.

The group’s activities range from commercial, residential and marine fuel distribution, fuel cards, ship owning, stevedoring, warehousing and off shore wind farm support to holiday home manufacturing, car retail and property, through a number of subsidiaries.
