Oldham firm Ripple has reached the final of Best Family Business at the 2026 National Entrepreneur Awards.

The company designs and creates retail environments for brands and retailers and is led by David Wolfenden. His children Hannah, Daniel and Matthew Wolfenden are all involved in the business.

Matthew was the first of the second generation to join Ripple and has worked across operational and leadership roles. Hannah later joined with a focus on people, culture and organisational development, while Daniel joined five years ago and works on business strategy and growth.

Ripple said it has continued to grow through new clients and repeat business and has invested in manufacturing capabilities, processes and technology. The company has also achieved EcoVadis Platinum status for its sustainability performance and provides work experience placements for local people.

David said: "Being a family business means we take a long-term view in everything we do. We aren't focused on short-term gains; we're focused on building a sustainable business that will continue to thrive for future generations."

The National Entrepreneur Awards are run by Entrepreneurs Circle and are in their 14th year. Winners across 10 categories are due to be announced at the ICC Birmingham on Monday 7 September.
