The Family Business Recipe
Family Business UK Annual Conference 2025
4-6 June 2025
The purpose and values of a family business, like the ingredients in an old family recipe, are inherited; passed from the kitchen table to the boardroom table over generations.
Reinterpreted by successive generations, these essential ingredients determine the culture of each family business, and are what helps give each one it’s unique flavour and characteristics.
But how well do you make the most of those precious ingredients, and use them to create a competitive advantage and a leading position in the market?
Join over 200 leading family businesses, from across the country, to discover how the vital ingredients of purpose and values can help sustain a successful family business.
