FBUK Magazine Issue 7 June 2026

The Family Business UK Magazine is essential reading for anyone looking for a glimpse into the world of family businesses. In this edition, we ask what 'legacy' means to some of the UK's longest established family firms. We showcase 150 years of the Gray-Nicolls family making the cricket bats that power sporting legacies. We meet the family business employee who has become the first person to compete at the Winter Paralympic Games with MND. And, we hear from the family behind The Entertainer on their exit to employee ownership. Plus regular features showcasing Member anniversaries, policy updates and more.
