The People’s Choice Award is determined entirely through the votes of the wider public.

HMG Paints has recently been recognized at The Family Business United Awards 2026 and was crowned The People’s Choice Award Winner for The North of England & Northern Ireland.
The People’s Choice Award has extra meaning as the winner is determined entirely through the votes of the wider public. The award invites family businesses from each region to gather support from their customers, suppliers and other stakeholders.
Competing alongside nine other outstanding family businesses from across the North of England and Northern Ireland, HMG were crowned People’s Choice Champions after securing the highest number of votes.
Hosted by Family Business United, the Family Business of the Year Awards celebrate the very best of family firms across the UK. Now celebrating their thirteenth year, the Family Business Awards recognize the excellence of family-led businesses across regional, sector and national categories, with HMG Paints proudly representing almost a century of family ownership and British manufacturing heritage as a fourth-generation family business.
“We are incredibly proud to have been named the winner of the North of England & Northern Ireland’s People’s Choice Award,” said Steve Crossman, Chief Operating Officer of HMG Paints “To receive an award that has been decided by those closest to HMG makes it especially meaningful, as it reflects the trust and support of the people we serve very day and the values that sit at the heart of everything we do.”
“To be recognized as a leading paint manufacturer and family business is a great honor that reflects the efforts of every member of the HMG Paints team,” added Paddy Dyson, HMG Paints Marketing Manager. “We’re grateful for the recognition from the Family Business United community and also for the efforts of Paul Andrews, who is a great champion of family businesses, and the FBU Awards is a great showcase for the businesses who have a huge impact on economies and communities across the country.”
The recognition for The North of England & Northern Ireland People’s Choice Award follows another successful year for HMG Paints, with the Manchester-based business continuing to strengthen its reputation as a leader in the manufacturing industry.
As the company looks ahead to its centenary in 2030, recognition such as this reflects not only its heritage as a family business, but also its continued commitment to delivering quality, innovation and service for generations to come.
