The second family business conference is to take place on Thursday, October 19 at The Halston in Carlisle. I am bringing the conference together in partnership with Armstrong Watson who are currently celebrating a 150 years of supporting, advising and protecting family businesses across Cumbria.

Dave Clarkson, of Armstrong Watson, says: “There are valuable lessons to be learnt with The Family Business Conference 2017.

“Some of the greatest lessons in business can be sourced from those currently leading family business and from those who are custodians of multi-generation operations who will be taking us through the challenges and the determination, the highs and the lows, the successes, the growth, the passion and the pride.”

As well as hearing from family owners who are sharing their stories, for the first time attendees will also hear valuable insight from industry experts and Government influencers.

William Robinson of Robinson’s Brewery, Fred Story of Story Homes and Story Contracting are confirmed to be speaking at the event.

Robinson’s Brewery who have recently laid down strong Cumbrian roots are the brewery behind the re-opening of 17th-century pub The Queens Head in Troutbeck following a devasting fire three years ago.
