Yorkshire boasts some of the UK’s best known family businesses, with a heritage dating back hundreds of years in some cases. These are the original entrepreneurs, who spotted an opportunity in the market and exploited it.
In this feature, we will talk to some of the region’s premier family-run businesses and gauge their thoughts on the economy and the changes that have impacted on the way they run their business. What marks them out from their competitors? What is their appetite for expansion? What does the future hold for our family-run businesses?
We will also examine the politics of succession planning, with comment and advice from company owners, investors and financial services professionals.
