The Global Family Business Champions

Inaugural Women In Family Business Report Published

Family Business United is delighted to publish its inaugural report celebrating the role of women and their contribution to family firms across the UK.


As Paul Andrews, Founder and CEO of Family Business United explains, "Family businesses are the backbone of the UK economy, making a significant impact on a daily basis through the

jobs they provide, income they generate and the wealth they create, not forgetting the impact they have on the broader communities in which they operate."


"Women play a massive role in driving the family business agenda and family businesses across the country and their contribution to such a vital sector should not be ignored. In all corners of the UK, women are going above and beyond on a daily basis - as inspirational

leaders, champions of change, drivers of innovation and sustainability, motivators of others - and making a truly positive impact on the family firms in which they work."


"Here at Family Business United we wanted to recognise their contribution, as leaders, next generation ambassadors, non-family executives, agents of change and even the unsung heroes, those women that ‘get it’ and ‘get on with it’ and help build sustainable family

businesses with little or no obvious recognition for their contribution."


“Women play a massive role in driving the family business agenda and family businesses

across the country and their contribution to such a vital sector should not be ignored.”


"This report celebrates a collection of wonderful individuals, great ambassadors for the family businesses in which they are involved and their impact on the broader community, and their contribution to this thriving sector which is at the very heart of our nation."


"We set out to identify women who really do make a difference and have uncovered some remarkable and inspirational individuals in compiling this inaugural report," concludes Paul.
