Views From Our Community
Heather Matthews
Paul and Family Business United are strong advocates for family businesses, and Paul is a man whose passion for, and knowledge of the family business world is unsurpassed. As members of FBU we feel represented, listened to and visible.
Hannah Barlow
“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.”
Steve Legler
I've only met Paul in person once, but I keep running into him online at every turn. He is the epitome of a champion of the #FamBiz world, and if there were more people like Paul in this space it would be even better. This field of #FamBiz and those who inhabit it could use more people like Paul, who live and breathe this world. He also has a very high 'give a sh*t' factor which I always admire in people.
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.
