By coming together, the family business community can amplify the impact and showcase the strength and resilience that characterises family-owned enterprises, as well as the contribution they make each and every day.
As Paul concludes, “This is a day for us to highlight the significant contribution of family businesses across Scotland, in terms of the jobs they provide, the income they generate and the wealth they create, as well as the massive impact that they have on communities across the country."
"Each family business has a story to tell and we are encouraging them all to share pictures of who they are and what they do, share their narrative and the things that they do so that we can amplify their voice and demonstrate their impact too."
"Each year the day gets bigger with more and more activity on social media and we are looking forward to a fabulous #ScottishFamilyBizDay which shines the light on this sector and all that it does to support the nation.”
