In October 2015, as Patrons of the Ulster Business School in their 40th year, we hosted a joint event celebrating family businesses in Northern Ireland.
Over 100 guests heard stories from successful family businesses and also witnessed an interesting panel discussion which involved short performances from a theatre company, simulating some very realistic family business scenarios.
The feedback from this event was great and demonstrated a real appetite from within the local family business sector for a way to network and learn from each other. Responding to this feedback we have established the NI Family Business Forum.
