Family Business Week Family Business Week, an annual week-long celebration of family businesses as a force for good, continues to grow in size and awareness. At the last Family Business Week we celebrated “Future Leaders” – shining a spotlight on the innovative and pioneering family business leaders that are shaping the future of family business for the next generation. As part of the week, around one hundred family business leaders, policy makers and advisers gathered in Parliament to celebrate the family business community, and heard from Business Minister Kevin Hollinrake MP. The Family Business Week Summit also brought together the community to hear how others are helping to develop the next generation of family and non-family leaders, and what policymakers can do to ensure the conditions exist for family firms to thrive. Family Business Week in 2023 was generously supported once again by NatWest. Ones to Watch During Family Business Week we launched the first “Ones to Watch” list, which recognised and championed the work of the next generation of family business leaders. Ones to Watch showcased individuals who were recognised as leading the way in areas such as product innovation, sustainability and ESG, social impact, diversity and inclusion, circular economy, good governance, or other aspects of being a leading sustainable and responsible business.
