J W Myers Monumental Masons is a multi-award-winning family owned and run business with its roots in the bereavement industry since 1701. Specialising in bespoke memorials, gravestones and restorations in all types of granite, York stone, limestone and slate. With branches spread across York and North Yorkshire J W Myers is one of the UK’s leading memorial specialists.

After successfully winning the “Family Business of The Year 2023” in November last year we were so thrilled, and it has had such a positive impact on our business. We wanted to support and help another local family business have the same success and benefits we have had from receiving this prestigious award.

I feel as a sponsor we benefit because it gives us the opportunity to be involved in this very prestigious event and support other local businesses. From our 2023 success at the awards, we have found it has had such a positive effect on our business. As sponsors we can now help another family business achieve the same success.

A business that enters clearly has confidence in what they do and the service they provide. Entering to win the award shows their potential client how confident the business is in what they do and what they offer. To be short listed is a great honour and heightens the companies’ profile, but to win the award shows the business that the confidence they had was not misplaced. Overnight the business becomes an “Award Winning Business” which is something money cannot buy.

Healthy competition is one of the best driving forces for any business and it was great to see so many local companies take part last year, we hope the 2024 awards will be bigger and better.

We at J W Myers Monumental Masons wish every business the best of luck and we look forward to helping with judging and attending the 2024 awards ceremony as the sponsor of The Family Business of The Year 2024.
