Ruby Media, Inc. Selected As Finalist for Texas Family Business of the Year Award

Dallas, Texas, October 22, 2014 (Newswire.com) - Baylor University’s Institute for Family Business has named Ruby Media, Inc. (DBA DHD Films) as a finalist for the Texas Family Business of the Year Award. The awards program – now in its 25th year – recognizes outstanding firms whose families demonstrate a commitment to each other, to business continuity, and who are responsive to the needs of their employees, communities and industries. This marks the second year that Ruby Media, Inc. has been recognized as a finalist by the Institute for Family Business. The Institute will honor award winners and finalists at an awards banquet on Nov. 6 at Baylor University’s Bill Daniel Student Center.

Shezad Manjee, Ruby Media, Inc. Founder and Chief Creative Officer, is enthused to be named a finalist in this year’s awards. Being named a finalist humbles Manjee especially since he has spent 14 years building a business that never loses its core focus—commitment to its employees, customers and the community at large. “Being recognized for the Texas Family Business of the Year Award is a great accomplishment for our studio. It’s a privilege to be mentioned among past winners like Mary Kay Cosmetics, Golfsmith International, Stacy Furniture and many others,” said Manjee. “I’m proud to have built an organization that truly holds dear the family values that guide everything we do as a studio. As a third generation filmmaker, I’m overjoyed to know what my grandfather started almost six decades ago still continues to evolve as a family-centered business in our fast-paced society today.”

The Texas Family Business of the Year firms are recognized in three size categories and several special categories recognizing: Family Values, Excellent Management, Community Commitment, Rapid Growth, Stewardship, Founders and Heritage Awards. Through the Texas Family Business of the Year program and other activities, the Institute for Family Business Fulfills its mission to provide a forum for the development and dissemination of information relevant to the health and continuity of family businesses.

“The Institute for Family Business and Baylor University is very privileged to honor great family businesses for the 25th consecutive year,” said Bill Worthington, director of the Institute for Family Business in Baylor’s Hankamer School of Business. “The applicant pool provided stunning examples of the impact that firm, family and faith can have on individuals, businesses and the communities they serve.”
