The award ceremony for the Family Business Award of Excellence 2020 was held on Wednesday 3 March at the Vaudeville Theater in Brussels. Every year, EY, FBN Belgium and GUBERNA, in partnership with BNP Paribas Fortis and De Tijd, put the spotlight on a number of leading family businesses. The three finalists of this seventh edition were Cartamundi, Lannoo and Stadsbader, who were lauded for their strong leadership, solid vision, enduring family values and stable entrepreneurial spirit across generations.
Our sincere congratulations to Cartamundi who was awarded the quality label. We are grateful to the organizers for giving us the opportunity to participate in this enriching experience and are proud to have finished as a finalist in this adventure. We look back on a fascinating course where our own experiences and best practices were shared for the inspiration of other (family) businesses. We distinguish ourselves by the personal commitment, strong vision and drive we share within our family business. After the past year, where distance was the focus, that commitment was our strength more than ever.
Our spot in the finals of this event is also a great recognition for the whole Stadsbader team that works day in and day out to fully honour this quality label. We build as one!
