We are a movement of family businesses working to help family businesses create a more prosperous and sustainable future for generations to come. Our supporters range from some of the biggest, oldest and most well-known British businesses, as well as first-generation businesses from across every sector of industry and commerce, from all corners of the UK. Family businesses are the backbone of the UK economy and the bedrock of our communities. For generations, family businesses have put people at the heart of business. They offer a model of sustainable and responsible business that others can learn from, be part of, work with, and even adopt. Family business leaders inherently put the interests of the next generation in mind, take a long-term view, and as the owners and stewards of the business, have greater freedom to experiment, innovate, and invest in their people and communities. They see the values people bring to the organisation as an important asset to be protected and nurtured.
