Sturgess Motor Group of Leicester are delighted to announce their newly formed relationship with Chinese Electric Vehicle manufacturer BYD. The 5th Generation family business, established in 1897 has opened a new sales and service facility for the BYD brand at its landmark site on the Aylestone Road, Leicester, located within walking distance of the Leicester Tigers rugby ground and Leicester City’s King Power stadium. Company Chairman, Mr Chris Sturgess said, “BYD is a new name in the automotive sector but their vast experience with battery manufacturing has given them a significant head start in bringing Electric Vehicles to the market.” Chris, along with his brother Barney are 4th generation members of the Sturgess family to work in the car industry. “There is little doubt that over the 126 years since our Great Grandfather Walter E Sturgess established the Company, the automotive business has changed dramatically and the introduction of electric vehicles is the next chapter in a vastly evolving industry. This new relationship is extremely exciting and we are delighted to be partnered with a manufacturer that is so far ahead in terms of battery technology and how it will help deliver a great ownership experience to the BYD driver.” The BYD range currently has 3 models, the 5 door Dolphin, Atto 3 mid-size SUV and the recently launched Seal sports saloon. Chris commented, “This is just the start of the BYD product line-up for the UK and there will be more to come in 2024 and beyond. We have put our sales staff through some intensive EV training to make sure the advice they offer is absolutely right for someone considering a BYD electric vehicle.”

Graham’s Family Dairy has significantly expanded its product range in over 50 Spinneys stores across the UAE, in response to growing demand for quality dairy and high-protein products. Graham’s Family Dairy, founded in 1939 in Stirlingshire, started supplying Spinneys in the United Arab Emirates with home-grown produce in August 2023, and in only six months the renowned UAE supermarket chain has added 11 new product listings, which will hit the shelves this month. The family-run business supplies award-winning products to 55 Spinneys stores across the United Arab Emirates, as well as the 15 Waitrose stores in the UAE that are also part of the Spinneys business. Established over six decades ago, Spinneys has successfully evolved into one of the country’s leading supermarket brands today, continually placing emphasis on innovation and quality produce and being the go-to retailer for quality products. While a wide range of dairy products are on offer, high-protein yoghurts are among the best performing, which mirrors an international trend in high-protein food and drink product consumption, with Protein 25 pots and pouches proving to be the best seller. Robert Graham, Graham’s Family Dairy Managing Director, said: “Working with an exceptional business across the globe is not only something we are very proud of, but it is testament to our Grandpa who founded Graham’s Family Dairy 85 years ago - who always had an eye for innovation. For the first time on record we saw our protein products outperform sales of conventional milk and sales of Protein 25 pouches increased by 800 per cent last year." “Mirroring this trend we are seeing here in the UK, our first 12 Protein 25 pots and pouches that launched in Spinneys in August of last year performed extremely well and have continued to grow which led to Spinneys working with us to launch another 12 Graham’s lines in their stores across the UAE and another four to launch later in February." “It gives an incredibly strong range and brand presence in the UAE with Spinneys and we are excited and proud to be working and moving forward with such a fantastic business that also shares our values of innovation and quality.” In 2017, Graham’s Family Dairy Protein 22 products took the top spot at the world’s largest annual food industry exhibition, winning the ‘Best Dairy Innovation Award’ at the Gulfood Innovation Awards which are held annually in Dubai. The 2024 event, held at Dubai World Trade Centre, will run from 19-23 February and Graham’s Family Dairy will be showcasing its award-winning Scottish produce. Gulfood 2024 is expected to attract over 5,000 exhibiting brands and over 100,000 trade visitors. Paul Crawford, Spinneys Commercial Manager said: “The launch of Graham’s Family Dairy products has played a pivotal role in driving the growth of the functional health dairy category, which has seen a remarkable surge of over 60 per cent compared to last year. This success reaffirms our belief in offering high-quality, health-focused options that resonate with our customer’s evolving needs.” “At Spinneys, our commitment is unwavering: we strive to continually excite our customers with new, innovative and convenient health products that are always on trend. That’s precisely why our partnership with Graham’s Family Dairy is a perfect fit for us. Our businesses share a natural synergy, united in our dedication to promoting an attainable, healthy-eating lifestyle. As we look to the future, we hope to continue to strengthen our partnership with the launch of further products.” The latest additions to Spinneys include Graham’s Family Dairy innovative Confectionery Protein 22 pots in four delicious dessert flavours - Stracciatella, Chocolate Caramel, Lemon Cheesecake and Salted Caramel. Additionally, Skyr Icelandic-style yoghurt - in Natural, Superberry, Strawberry, Vanilla, Raspberry, and Passion Fruit, Mango & Papaya - have been stocked. The family-run business also produces a diverse selection of dairy products including Organic and Gold Top range milk, butter, cream, yoghurt and ice cream.

Allied Mobility, through the Allied Vehicles Charitable Trust, has donated £2,000 to a charity working to break down barriers which often prevent disabled people from fully participating in public life. Vehicles for Change, who operate under the name RevoLOOtion, are working to provide improved accessible facilities for disabled people across the UK. Standard accessible toilets are often unsuitable and inaccessible for many disabled people, usually lacking changing benches or manual handling hoists, and most are too small to accommodate more than one person. This leaves families or carers with no choice but to attend to those they support on an often-dirty toilet floor. Without fully accessible facilities, disabled people, and those who assist them, are put at risk and their dignity is impacted. RevoLOOtion seeks to solve this problem. Their specially adapted mobile units, known as RevoLOOs, contain a toilet with retractable rails on both sides, an electric hoist to enhance accessibility, and a height-adjustable changing table. Each one also comes with a driver/attendant who sets everything up and keeps it clean and hygienic. Phil Tansley, CEO of Vehicles for Change, expressed his thanks for the Allied Mobility donation, saying, “Over a quarter of a million people in the UK are unable to use a standard accessible toilet. If people are unable go to the toilet during a day out, they simply stop going out; this leads to leads to exclusion, isolation, loneliness, and poor mental wellbeing." “The support of the Allied Vehicles Charitable Trust will make a great difference to our charity. This donation will help fund important running costs which are vital to our efforts to ensure disabled people can access as wide a range of events and activities as possible.” The current economic climate has seen RevoLOOtion’s cost of operating rise with inflation, and the ongoing cost of living crisis has impacted their ability to raise funds through public donations. Partially funded through private sector hires, the charity must still raise an additional £50,000 per year to support running costs and attendance at charitable and public sector events which would otherwise be unable to engage their services. Despite these challenges, in the last year alone RevoLOOtion has made a significant difference, facilitating over 5,000 disabled individuals' participation in 1,000 events they might have had to miss due to lack of suitable amenities. Allied Mobility’s National Sales Manager, Ben Jenkins, was keen to acknowledge the work that Vehicles for Change are doing with the RevoLOOtion initiative, saying, “Our company motto is ‘We move people and make a difference to their lives.’ In that spirit we are delighted to support RevoLOOtion, whose work in helping to reduce social isolation and improve wellbeing for disabled people, aligns so closely with our own.”

Summer 2022 was the longest, hottest summer seen for many years, resulting in a harvest of exceptional quality, very good quality fruit with a high natural sugar level. Fast forward to 2023 which brought us a warm and sunny June which was followed by a wet and not seasonally warm July and August before a hot September and October - what would this mean for the English wine industry? The 2023 harvest at Biddenden started on Monday 18th September with a small team picking Ortega, 19 days later than 2022 and closer to that of years gone by. This is earlier than many other vineyards but picking start dates will always vary between estates and depends on the varieties grown as well as other locational and situational factors. Ortega, our flagship variety here at Biddenden, is early ripening and always our first variety picked. After 6 weeks of hard work from our local pickers and winery team, harvest finished on Monday the 30th October with Riesling our last variety to be picked. First planted at Biddenden in 2018, Riesling is a variety we are particularly excited about at Biddenden and we planted additional vines of this variety as part of an exclusive event held at the vineyard in May 2023. With a good harvest in 2022 and 2023 we look forward to sharing the results of our work with this variety at Biddenden - good things come to those who wait! In addition to Ortega and Riesling, 10 further varieties are grown across 25 acres at Biddenden and this has its advantages come harvest time, as each variety can be picked when it is perfectly ripe, in its own individual block, rather than having large areas which need to be picked all at once. All 12 varieties are picked by hand, by a team of local pickers and all fruit is pressed within hours, or even minutes, of being picked. After starting with Ortega, harvest continued through the white varieties including Bacchus, Reichensteiner and Huxelrebe, before moving onto the Pinot Noir, Dornfelder and Schönburger. The start date of harvest is one variable but the weather conditions throughout the year, alongside how the vines are cared for and managed, has a huge impact on the crop. Spring frosts after bud burst can spell disaster but, in 2023, the mild spring put off this potential damage. 2023 saw harvest records broken across the UK with vineyards bringing in huge crops and recording their biggest ever harvest. At the halfway point at Biddenden we had picked more tonnes of fruit than the 2022 harvest all together. But why the bumper crop? Water in the ground in April led to good bud break and canopy growth and a dry, warm June resulted in a strong, early, fruit set. July then saw one of the highest rainfall levels since records began, perfect for the vines, and then the warmth of September came along, just enough to bring on final ripening and reduce rain damage. Too much rain can cause the grapes to swell and split, however the September heat slowed this down, protecting the crop. A lot of what happens in a vineyard is also down to the year before and, with an exceptional 2022, the vines have been able to build up strong reserves to support the fruit growth in 2023. Affectionately dubbed ‘the monster of 2023’, this harvest we picked approximately 121 tonnes of grapes, in contrast to the 52 tonnes of 2022. The last time Biddenden picked a crop of this size all three Barnes boys were off at college and Mum, Sally, was the driver of the 3910 tractor, built in July 1983 - one of the earliest on record in this county according to Haynes. Prior to this, 2003 was the next largest crop with dolavs of grapes stretching on and on down the rows and it was all hands on deck to bring in the fruit for pressing. “A huge effort from all members of the team, 2023 is certainly the largest harvest I can remember for many years, perhaps back to 2004. Coming back from school I clearly remember walking out into the yard and it being full of grapes waiting for the press. Fast forward a few years to the largest crop Biddenden has seen, it certainly becomes fairly focusing and a logistical challenge juggling tanks and space into the early hours. I’m looking forward to the 2023 wines hitting the shelf, a good balance across all wines with the task of bottling now on the horizon as we move into early 2024 and a new season begins. No season is the same which is what makes it fun and a life style, not a job,” explains Tom Barnes, third generation and winemaker. With three generations of winemaking expertise, and the same tractor still going strong, all be it with some minor unplanned adjustments, it is Biddenden’s experience, unique growing methods and strong focus on vine health year round which has once again paid dividends. With the vines now dormant, the grape press stored away for another year and the wines safely in their tanks, the journey of our 2023 vintages carries on in the winery and we can’t wait to see what 2024 has in store.

A family business charter or code of conduct, can be the key to successful family dynamics and business endeavors. Many families in business don’t know where to start or don’t understand the purpose of having a charter. A family business charter outlines your family’s values, rules of behavior, and communication guidelines. This will not only promote harmony within your family business but also ensure sustained success across generations. The steps below are a simple guide to creating this important document. 1. Gather the family and discuss your values and goals Take the time to bring together all the members of your family who are involved in the business. This is an opportunity for an open and honest conversation about what truly matters to your family. Discuss and define your core values and goals as they relate to your business. Embrace the diversity of perspectives within the family and work towards a consensus that reflects your shared vision. 2. Behaviours and communication styles matter Now that you have a clear picture of your values and goals, it’s time to talk about the behaviors and communication styles that will help you achieve them. In family businesses, emotions can run high, and conflicts can arise. It’s important to establish guidelines that foster understanding, respect, and effective communication. Consider how you can cultivate a supportive and collaborative environment where everyone’s voices are heard. 3. Draft the charter Using the insights from your family discussion, it’s time to draft your family business charter. This document will serve as a compass, providing guidance for your actions and decisions within the business. Incorporate the agreed-upon values, behaviors, and communication guidelines into this charter. Keep it concise, but make sure it captures the essence of your family’s aspirations and commitments. 4. Review, adjust, and enhance Once you have a draft of your charter, gather all family members involved in the business for a comprehensive review. Take the time to listen to everyone’s feedback and perspectives. This is an opportunity to make any necessary adjustments or additions. Remember, this is a collective effort, and each family member’s input is valuable in shaping this important document. 5. Publish and share the charter With the charter refined and finalised, it’s time to publish it as a formal document. Distribute copies to all family members involved in the business, ensuring that everyone has easy access to it. Encourage family members to refer to the charter when navigating challenging situations. It will provide a framework for decision-making and promote unity and alignment within your business. 6. Regularly re-evaluate and improve Even the most thoughtfully crafted charter can benefit from periodic evaluation. Schedule a family discussion at least every two years to assess the effectiveness of your code of conduct and identify areas for improvement. This enables you to stay adaptable and keep it aligned with the evolving needs and dynamics of your family and business. By creating and regularly reviewing your charter, you are fostering an environment where trust, connection, and proactive collaboration can thrive. May this document serve as a constant reminder of the shared values that bind your family together and guide your business towards a prosperous future.

In the vast landscape of commerce, family businesses stand as living chronicles, each with a unique story waiting to be unveiled. Beyond profit margins and market strategies, every family enterprise is shaped by a narrative that intertwines personal histories, values, challenges, and triumphs. Every family business carries a distinct tale, making it a vital and dynamic entity in the world of commerce. At the heart of every family business is a rich narrative based around their evolution. Whether founded generations ago or recently established, family businesses often emerge from the deep-seated values and beliefs of their progenitors. The story begins with the founders, their aspirations, and the ethos they sought to instill in their business. This historical context forms the foundation upon which subsequent chapters unfold. Behind the scenes of success lie untold stories of struggle and perseverance. Family businesses navigate challenges unique to their context, from economic downturns to internal disputes. These tales of resilience, adaptability, and determination often define the essence of the enterprise. The narrative encompasses not just the peaks of success but also the valleys of hardship, shaping the character of the business over time. As time unfolds, generational transitions add another layer to the story. The handover of leadership from one generation to the next introduces new characters and plot twists. The dynamics of intergenerational relationships, the transfer of knowledge, and the evolution of leadership styles contribute to the ongoing narrative of the family business. The story becomes a continuum, adapting to changing times while retaining familial bonds. As the world of business evolves over time, adaptability is a key theme in every family business story. The ability to embrace change, navigate technological advancements, and respond to shifting market dynamics shapes the trajectory of the enterprise, ensuring that they remain fit for purpose and relevant for the new world in which they are operating. The narrative reflects not only the external transformations in the business landscape but also the internal metamorphosis required for sustainability and growth. Family businesses often have a local impact, becoming integral parts of their communities. Their stories extend beyond the boardroom to community engagement, philanthropy, and social responsibility. These enterprises contribute to the social fabric, weaving a narrative that goes beyond profits to encompass shared values and a commitment to the well-being of the community and in many cases they are at the heart of the community in which they operate. In essence, every family business is a living story, a narrative that unfolds through time, shaped by the hands of its founders, carried forward by subsequent generations, and influenced by the external forces of the business world. These stories are not mere anecdotes but narratives that encapsulate the essence, struggles, triumphs, and ongoing evolution of each family enterprise. The fact that every family business has a story to tell reinforces the idea that commerce is not just about transactions; it is about the human experience, woven into the fabric of the business itself, something that can be used as a competitive advantage when told in an honest and authentic way too.

Brown‑Forman Corporation announced the sale of its cooperage in Trinity, Alabama, to Independent Stave Company (ISCO). The cooperage will continue to make barrels for the Jack Daniel Distillery as part of a strategic relationship between the companies. ISCO will rename the cooperage from the Jack Daniel Cooperage to the Alabama Cooperage upon closing, expected by May 1, 2024.

This agreement helps ensure a steady supply of the same high quality barrels at a competitive price to Brown‑Forman and Jack Daniel’s." “ISCO will continue to craft American White Oak barrels using the same meticulous process that we have for generations, keeping the quality and taste of Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey consistent around the world.”  Independent Stave Company CEO Brad Boswell said: "We are grateful to Brown‑Forman for the opportunity to craft barrels of the highest quality for their iconic brand, Jack Daniel’s.

Our team looks forward to welcoming the employees in Trinity to the Independent Stave Company family.” Previously, Brown‑Forman sold stave mills in Alabama, Ohio, and Tennessee, to ISCO.

Brown‑Forman will maintain ownership and operation of the long-standing Brown‑Forman Cooperage in Louisville, Kentucky.

Feisal Alibhai's Four Steps to Flow introduces a groundbreaking way of approaching life. Challenging our fundamental understanding of head versus heart, it offers an innovative path to a meaningful life lived in a state of continuous flow. Follow your head, and you will forever argue with yourself about whether you are making the right decision. Follow your heart, and you will stew in emotional turmoil. In both cases, the name of the game is confusion, anxiety, and drama. Three life-changing crises shocked business tycoon Feisal Alibhai into the realization that success isn’t enough. The key to leading a fulfilling life is to engage both head and heart by taking four simple steps. Comments: "Flow takes you on a spiritual journey where Buffet meets Siddharta with perfect balance.

Jason Axmith, Founder Cosecha Imports, former CEO of Robin Sharma International "One of those rare adventures others need to hear about to inspire them to uncover within themselves potential they have no clue exists." Dr. Shefali Tsabary, Author of The Awakened Family "Having had the privilege to be a dear friend to Feisal through many of the peaks and troughs in his life that he has discussed in this book I am enthralled with the way that he has managed to simplify and articulate one of the most essential keys to a meaningful life……the alignment of head and heart. A counterintuitive theory like this one is not always easy to understand and even more so difficult to digest. Feisal’s life examples in bite size portions simplify the entire idea allowing for realistic action and execution. The reader, if willing and open, will see the barriers blocking their true self slowly unravel."
