Family businesses

Family businesses are the lifeblood of the UK economy. They instill deep loyalty in their staff and customers alike and bring great purpose to many people associated with them. We understand that the owners of family businesses are often custodians of a previous generation’s legacy and this comes with enormous responsibility. They, therefore, take great care in all key decisions and can benefit from a third-party view.

When advising such clients we always start by understanding the family objectives so we can help with providing the right solution. As a first generation family business ourselves we understand the privilege and pride that running your own business brings but also the heavy responsibility of caring for one’s employees and protecting the reputation of the business.

CARE – We are a family business and we understand the sensitivities and complexities of dealing with multiple stakeholders.

Our clients can expect:

Expert, independent advice from our dedicated team of specialists
Detailed analysis of individual circumstances and goals
World-class funding applications
A warm welcome and exceptional service from our whole team

Family Businesses case study

A fourth generation family business was introduced to Ashbridge Partners by their London lawyers.

Over recent years they have identified the need to rationalise their food storage facilities to drive down costs and improve efficiencies. A new state of the art storage facility was sought. The investment would not only reduce labour and transport costs but also free up existing inefficient sites that could be redeveloped.
