In 2026, Family Business UK will celebrate a significant milestone: 25 years of championing family businesses across the country. This anniversary resonates personally with me. Last year, Rigby Group marked 50 years in business – a moment for our family to reflect on what we have built, the goals still ahead and the small part we have played in supporting the people and communities that have supported us. We hope we have left both a little better than we found them. Rigby Group is just one of thousands of family businesses that underpin the health and prosperity of our economy, which is why “I am especially proud, as Chair, to help FBUK mark its own 25 years of standing up for this vital sector.” It is a milestone that deserves more than a passing mention because, like the businesses it represents, FBUK has been shaped by the same values that define family enterprise: long-term thinking, strong relationships and the power of pulling together.
