Conference 2024 helped our delegates to harness the power of all the faces of their family business, no matter their age, seniority, role or experiences. From Chair to Next Gen, non-family executive to shareholder, conference truly had something for everyone.

From the lessons learned by James Reed, Chairman and CEO of Reed, on how failing to get up (and down) the Matterhorn led him to change the purpose of the company.

To why Mark Samworth, Chairman of Samworth Brothers puts great value on charitable causes, employee wellbeing and supporting local communities, the FBUK conference provided two days of unrivalled content and learning.

Our workshops and business labs covered some of the most challenging aspects of family business such as how to approach conversations with the senior and next generation, how you reward and recognise people and how to come together during times of change.
