Forward thinking strategies for family businesses in the UK
SUPPORT TO HELP FAMILY BUSINESSES PLAN FOR THE FUTURE
Being a family business ourselves we know the unique dynamics in such organisations, many which have been embedded into the mindset of the family for many generations, bringing with it a specific pressure.
We have worked with many family businesses helping them deal with the complexities of managing family relationships and demands versus business needs.
Succession planning, personal development, and introducing non-family members to senior management roles, realigning family members into roles which better suit their skills and needs and introducing new technology are just some of the projects we have been tasked with.
Our clients’ range includes both first-generation and multi-generational businesses in a broad range of sectors.
Our role is to help the family, and other stakeholders, understand their options and plan for the future considering both their individual aspirations and the family traditions and values. We then help the business manage the changes involved to deliver the plan, which are often difficult for a family business to manage alone.
Matters such as succession training, personal development, and introducing non-family members to senior management roles, realigning family members into roles which better suit their skills and needs and introducing new technology are just some of the projects we have been tasked with.
We have provided some examples below of the family businesses we have worked with, but please contact us to discuss the challenges you are looking to address
