Legacy Sector or Growth Engine?
The Family Business Growth Conference held at the iconic Guildhall in York, brought together family business leaders, policymakers and leading researchers from across the UK to explore the opportunities and challenges facing family firms today. From growth and investment to succession, ownership and their wider impact on communities, the conference examined the important role family businesses play in the UK economy and what is needed to ensure they can continue to grow, invest and thrive for generations to come. The event was held in collaboration with the Family Business Research Foundation.
Led by Professor Kiran Trehan of the University of York and Sir Michael Bibby, Chairman of Bibby Line Group, the conference explored how the contribution of family businesses can be better understood and reflected in economic policy, connecting real business experience with research and policymaking.
