Miranda Hayman
Family Business United is a very supportive organisation helping us in many professional ways as well as expanding our network of other like-minded family businesses. FBU brings the family business community together through so many ways including the very successful annual conference which is always a firm date in the diary each year – you always leave with new ideas and friends.
Sian Steele
Family Business United is an essential part of the family business eco-system in the UK. The team work tirelessly to promote the sector and to share stories, best practice and connections. Personally, I have been enormously grateful for Paul’s support, wise advice and enormously good natured approach. Many of the businesses that I work with have gained huge value from the wide range of sessions that Paul and the team run across the UK. The regional approach, right to the far flung reaches of the UK is very well received and has in many areas created a much needed sense of community and opened up communication channels at what is a very challenging time for any business but, particularly, family businesses.
Joanne Gualda
Bagnalls is a fifth-generation family business and has been a member of FBU for several years. The support given by Paul and his team is invaluable, not only do we gain insights on the variety of family businesses that play such a vital part of our UK economy but we get so many occasions to network with each other to make us feel part of a true family community. Being members of such a positive organisation helps us keep in touch with all the latest on apprenticeships, the green agenda and family governance and much more.
Chris Black
Paul Andrews, CEO of Family Business United is an out and out ambassador for the family business sector. He has made it his mission to support and promote the sector, something he does with a passion. He has greatly assisted our family business, Sound Leisure, on many occasions and I would recommend him unreservedly to anyone.
