We’re thrilled to share that Wallis Shipping, a long‑standing member of the Walla Walla family, has been officially selected as a finalist in the East & East Anglia region for the National Family Business of the Year Awards 2025, hosted by Family Business United.

Why this matters

• • Celebrating family businesses: These awards shine a spotlight on the vital role family-owned enterprises play in the UK economy—recognizing their innovation, community engagement, and values-driven approach.
• • Regional recognition: Wallis Shipping joins esteemed finalists like Cambridge Juice Company, Jenolite, and others in East Anglia—underscoring its local excellence. 

A testament to heritage and innovation

Founded in 1987 and now a second-generation family operation, Wallis Shipping has grown into a global logistics specialist while sustaining a personal, service-first mentality. Managing Director Stuart Gregory expresses pride:

• “As a second-generation family business, this acknowledgement is a real honour and a testament to the hard work, resilience, and commitment of our entire team.” 

What’s next

• • The awards ceremony will take place in June 2025 in London, where regional winners—and ultimately the national champions—will be announced.
• • Wallis Shipping is also in the running for the East Anglia People’s Choice Award.

A Message from Stuart Gregory, MD

• “This nomination means a great deal to us. It reflects not only our history and family heritage, but also our forward‑thinking approach and the shared values that continue to drive our business.” 

Stay tuned—we’ll share updates and celebrate along with them when the winners are announced in June.
