Family Business Week
Supporting Local Economies & Communities
25 - 29 November 2024
What is Family Business Week?
Family Business Week is a week-long celebration of family businesses as a force for good.
Family firms are the backbone of the UK economy and the bedrock of our communities. However, the scale of their impact and contribution is often underestimated. Family Business Week ensures the contribution family firms make up and down the country is recognised and celebrated.
Led by Family Business UK, and supported by Natwest, the week is an opportunity for everyone to get behind family businesses and show their support.
This year we will be celebrating the central role family firms play in supporting their local economy and community. Through supporting employees, local suppliers, customers, and community initiatives –communities up and down the country rely heavily on their local family firms. They help enrich the areas in which they operate, with roots which often go back generations.
Join us in promoting those family businesses which help make your area so special, and in celebrating those who go above and beyond to support their communities.

Whether you’re a family business owner, employee, adviser or a policymaker, there are plenty of ways to get involved and show your support for Family Business Week.
