Sixth generation Hull company John Good Group has been crowned the People’s Choice Family Business of the Year for Yorkshire.
The shipping and travel specialist, founded in 1833, was selected by Family Business United, an organisation championing such enterprises.
From the initial ships’ chandlery set up by the master whose name the business took to a significant multi-subsidiary operation, John Good Group has remained a key part of the Humber economy. Initially operating from Salthouse Lane after 25-year-old Mr Good came ashore having already spent more than half of his life at sea, logistics, agency, brokering and freight forwarding all followed.
