Darley named family business of the year

Dec. 22, 2010 – W.S. Darley & Company was selected winner of the annual Illinois Family Business of the Year Award (in the medium-sized business category), sponsored by Loyola University Chicago Family Business Center.

This award program recognizes exceptional Illinois-based family businesses that dedicate a strong commitment to business development, family, and the greater Illinois community. This year’s award had nearly 200 nominations in three business size categories and the winners we chosen based on positive family/business linkage, multi-generational family business involvement, contributions to industry and community and innovative business practices and strategies.

Paul Darley, president and CEO, accepted the award on behalf of the Darley family at an award ceremony held in Chicago on Nov. 30. Darley recognized the Darley employees, customers, key strategic partners, and previous generations.
