HULL, UK. November 25th, 2025 – Peach Hampers, the Hull-based family business known for its beautifully bespoke gift hampers, is celebrating success after being named winner of the Retail Innovators Award at the Yorkshire & Humberside Family Business Awards 2025.
The prestigious event, held at The Royal Armouries in Leeds on 21st November, brought together more than 300 family business leaders, teams, and supporters from across the region. Organised by The Family Business Community, the awards honour the innovation, resilience, and contribution of family-run businesses throughout Yorkshire and the Humber.
Peach Hampers’ win recognises their commitment to redefining the traditional gifting experience through creativity, personalisation, and a hands-on approach to designing and packaging every personalised gift hamper. Earlier this year, the business was shortlisted in both the Retail Innovators category and the Leadership Excellence category, making this win an especially proud moment for the team.
Managing Director, Brendan Pallant, said, “Winning the Retail Innovators Award means the world to us. Every gift hamper we create – from the products we select to the packaging we design and print ourselves – is driven by passion, quality, and a genuine desire to make people feel special. To have that recognised among such an inspiring group of family businesses is an honour for the whole team.”
Hosted by broadcaster and food writer Nigel Barden alongside event co-founders Dave Clarkson and Sue Howorth, the ceremony celebrated outstanding achievements from family businesses across a diverse mix of sectors.
Sue Howorth said, “We always aim to create an unforgettable experience, and hosting the awards in Leeds this year added something truly special. The amazing turnout was a testament to the strength of the family business community. It was a night to remember.”
Dave Clarkson added: “The quality and diversity of entries this year were outstanding. Peach Hampers should be incredibly proud of their achievement and the innovation they bring to their sector.”
Brendan added: “For us, it’s always been about making gift hampers that genuinely make people smile. We put a lot of ourselves into every bespoke hamper, so to have that recognised is something we’re really proud of. It’s a lovely reminder that the little details really do matter.”
