Family Business Insight Event At The Port Of Middlesbrough

Join us at the Port of Middlesbrough for a behind the scenes tour and insight into the operation of this second generation family firm.
About this Event

From starting the business in the 1930s with a horse and cart to rebranding it’s site as Port of Middlesbrough, AV Dawson has grown to become one of Teesside’s largest family businesses.

Join us for a behind the scenes tour and insight from family members and non-family leaders involved with the business today, explore the port, appreciate the history, purpose and values behind the family firm and gain an insight into the way that this family business operates today at their new head office, The Staiths, the name referencing back to the old coal staiths which form part of the history of the port.

This visit will form part of the 2025 Family Business Road Trip organised by Family Business United which showcases the depth and diversity of family businesses across the UK.
