Following on from the successful Autumn 2023 launch of Family Business UK’s expert-led Masterclasses, we are delighted to announce our expanded 2024 programme of Masterclasses for family business.
The FBUK Masterclass programme is a series of comprehensive, family business focussed one-day courses designed to support family business owners, family members, operational directors, shareholders, non-family executives and NEDs, to navigate the complexities and nuances of managing, directing, and owning a family business.
Launching in 2023 with hugely successful sessions on Succession in association with sector experts at Alembic Strategy, Farrer & Co, and KPMG and Governance in association with the experts at Boodle Hatfield and PwC, the 2024 programme has been expanded, to meet demand.
