We are delighted to announce this year’s sponsor of
Family Business of the Year
The Dean Trust
The Dean Trust is a multi-academy trust comprising eleven schools located across Knowsley, Manchester, Trafford, and Wigan. The Trust works to provide an excellent and holistic educational experience within its schools, so its children can achieve academic success and also develop the skills and confidence they need to thrive in their future lives.
As an employer of over 1200 staff, The Dean Trust is committed to promoting a diverse and inclusive community, a place where we can all be ourselves and succeed on merit regardless of background or characteristics. We aim to create an environment in which individual differences and the way in which everyone contributes is recognised and valued.
The Trust is committed to supporting children and their families in Knowsley through its two primary schools, Park View Academy and Blacklow Brow, and its secondary school, Lord Derby Academy, all located in Huyton.
“It is my pleasure to represent The Dean Trust at the Knowsley Business Awards and to present the Family Business of the Year Award. Community and entrepreneurial skills are highly valued in our Trust and we hold both to be of crucial importance in the educational experience of our children. We are so pleased to be able to celebrate local family enterprise and shine a light on what can be achieved by the people of Knowsley.”
