Being family run itself Lamont Pridmore has a unique understanding and insight into family owned businesses and already assists a wide range of clients who operate family run companies.
Graham Lamont, Chief Executive of Lamont Pridmore, said: “We are delighted to have been recognised for our work as a family-run business. Working with relatives brings with it distinct advantages, but it also creates its own set of unique and complex issues.
“Thanks to our appreciation of what it takes to run a family business we are able to offer expert advice based upon first-hand experiences to other family-owned companies – skills that are really appreciated by our clients in this sector.”
