Founders
What's the Co-Founders story?
Both Dave and Sue had a similar passion for family business – the largest business sector in the UK
After a chance meeting back in 2013, they realised they were on the same path and wanted to champion family businesses, giving family businesses a voice and a network so they could all connect and share their stories and experiences.
Together with their team they have developed an engaged community of family businesses, influencers and partners that work together to support generations of families across the UK and across the globe as The Family Business Community.
