Tims Dairy voted Family Business of the Year 2017 for London and South East                                    

Tims Dairy have been voted Family Business of the Year 2017 in this year’s awards for the London and South East region. Brothers Chris, Peter, Bides and Tony Timotheou are jubilant at having won this top accolade from Family Business United (FBU). Created by Paul Andrews the aim of FBU is to champion family businesses and recognise the contribution they make to the country.

The brothers were quick to stress that the success of the business is a team effort though. Managing Director Chris Timotheou said “The vision of our uncle and father in establishing the business and their hard work have been our inspiration and we know they would be very proud of what the family has achieved – and of this award. However, none of this would have been possible without the dedicated team around us. The family would like to dedicate this particular award to our mother, Eleni Timotheou, who continues to be our inspiration on a daily basis.”
