Winners of the 2025 Maine Family Business Awards will be announced at an Oct. 8 event in Portland. Shown here are last year's honorees.
From a record 505 nominations for the 2025 Maine Family Business Awards, 44 have advanced to the semifinal round, according to the Institute for Family-Owned Business.
“We had applications from all across Maine and all different types of companies," Catherine Wygant Fossett, executive director of the Portland-based trade association, told Mainebiz. “This year is our 25th anniversary and this is the most nominations and applications we’ve ever had.”
Wygant Fossett was honored as a Mainebiz Woman to Watch in 2024.
The list of semifinalists spans a range of industries from photography to hospitality. (Scroll down for the full list).
