SUMMARY:Family Business & Place: Evidence. Policy. Practice.
DESCRIPTION:What would change if family businesses were treated not as a legacy sector\, but as a central part of the UK’s growth strategy. \n \nFamily firms employ millions\, anchor local economies and outlast the political cycles built to support them\, yet they remain an afterthought in growth strategy. \nThis inaugural national\, research-led conference will bring together family business and next-generation leaders\, policymakers\, researchers and regional economic partners to examine the evidence\, challenge current practice and explore what family firms need to invest\, grow and pass on their businesses across generations. \nThe conference will address the realities of leading across generations: governance\, technology adoption\, succession\, risk and the structures needed for the next generation to lead. \nConfirmed Keynote speaker: James Reed\, Chairman and CEO of the Reed family of companies. \nConference themes\nThe Missing Piece in Growth Policy\nWhy family firms remain marginal to regional growth despite their role in exports\, productivity and place-based investment. \nTax\, Ownership & Continuity\nHow changes to inheritance tax reshape succession\, investment and the transfer of viable businesses across generations. \nSocial Value & Local Impact\nEmployment\, skills\, community cohesion and philanthropy and how family firms’ contribution can be better evidenced. \nLed by Professor Kiran Trehan University of York and Sir Michael Bibby Chairman of Bibby Line Group\, Family Business Research Foundation \nPlease note: This event is for family business leaders and future leaders\, researchers and policy makers. \nRegister now
