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.

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.”

Lyn Calder
Paul has a wealth of knowledge and insight into the family business sector. He really does understand what makes family businesses tick and what keeps their owners awake at night. Paul is a strong advocate of the importance of this community to the UK economy and to society in general.

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.
