Feedback

Inspirational to hear that well managed established family firms can still be dynamic and build from a position of strength

It is always good to hear the 'story' of a successful business. There is always something to take away

Interesting story on growth from a business. Good opportunity to meet and talk to other people at the event

War stories are always interesting - not only to hear the success stories but also to hear about the struggles or mistakes that have been made

The value for me was the insight into a family business - and experiences of growth

Interesting insights from Robert and the value of a networking opportunity

The value was to learn about how a family business can thrive and grow and good networking contacts

An excellent insight into the challenges of running a large scale family business in a highly competitive market

Be true to your values in terms of dealing with clients, suppliers and staff

My key tip was the value of 'family' branding in an expanding business

Key tip for me - the impact branding had on the growth of Robert's company has stuck with me - comparison of their key values compared to that of myself and my company

Reinforced the importance of personal relationships

Be consumer focused all the time and keep everyone in the company with a good positive attitude

Stay true to what you believe in
