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.

“We’ve been proud members of Family Business United for many years at Dunsters Farm, ever since my brother and I officially joined the family firm. During a period of significant growth for our business, Paul and the FBU team have been right there alongside us, offering insight, support and practical guidance that has helped shape our journey."

"In a noisy commercial world it’s hard for family firms to stand out. FBU gives us a strong collective voice. It champions what matters most to family businesses in the UK, raises awareness of our sector, and brings together a community of like-minded firms who truly are the lifeblood of the economy. Through events, collaboration and shared learning, FBU creates a space where family businesses can grow stronger together."

"Paul is a passionate advocate for our sector, and FBU genuinely feels like a home for family firms. I’d recommend FBU to any family business wanting to feel part of something bigger - supported, connected and moving forward together.”

Paul has been instrumental in driving forward the profile of family businesses in the UK, working in a number of different roles with partners across the UK and internationally. Paul and I worked together to build the profile of family businesses in Scotland and his expertise has been invaluable in the development of this.

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.
