Robinson Brothers Wins Family Business of the Year!

We are delighted to share that Robinson Brothers has won Family Business of the Year at the Black Country Chamber of Commerce Business Heroes Awards 2020!

The judges felt that Robinson Brothers made a ‘significant contribution to both the local and national community through the supply of hand sanitiser’ free of charge and distributing face masks to all employees.

Held on Friday 13^th November, businesses across the Black Country were able to come together and celebrate their hard work during the COVID-19 pandemic. This hybrid event enabled the annual awards ceremony to take place safely and to recognise the contribution made by people and businesses of the Black Country during this difficult time.

Throughout the pandemic, Robinson Brothers has been able to supply national and international markets whilst ensuring the safety of staff and the local community. The company played an active role during the pandemic to ensure the production of key products for the Critical National Infrastructure (CNI). Moreover, the company produced 6000L of hand sanitiser free of charge for the local community, employees and key workers, including care homes, hospitals and schools.

As a family business, the safety and wellbeing of employees is paramount. The impact of the pandemic on mental health was recognised early on. This resulted in the rapid implementation of an employee assistance programme run by occupational health that all employees can access freely. Furthermore, Mental Health Awareness Week was marked across site with a multitude of resources and events available alongside a Mental Health Awareness course.

Alongside our achievement in the Family Business of the Year, the company was highly commended in the Large Business of the Year category for redirecting resources to manufacture hand sanitiser to WHO standards.

Congratulation to all the finalists and winners!
