As part of Family Business Week 2026, Family Business UK and KPMG invite you to join us for a special breakfast discussion exploring the role family businesses play in driving growth, creating opportunity and strengthening communities across the Midlands.
Family businesses are at the heart of the Midlands economy. From manufacturers and retailers to professional services firms and agricultural enterprises, they provide employment, invest for the long term, and contribute to the success of the places in which they operate.
Bringing together family business leaders from across the region, this event will explore the relationship between successful businesses and thriving communities, and the vital role family firms play in supporting economic growth.
Through an informal and engaging conversation, we will discuss:
- The contribution family businesses make to growth and prosperity across the Midlands
- Why long-term stewardship matters for businesses, communities and local economies
- The role of family firms in creating opportunity and supporting local places
- The opportunities and challenges facing family businesses today
- What is needed to support sustainable regional growth in the years ahead
Following the discussion, guests will have the opportunity to continue the conversation and connect with fellow family business leaders over networking.
Whether you lead or work in a family business, this event offers a valuable opportunity to hear directly from those shaping the future of one of the UK’s most important business communities.
