Throughout the UK small and medium-sized companies account for 99.9 per cent of the country’s businesses and have a combined annual turnover of over £300 billion.
Scotland’s 200,000 family firms account for about half of the private sector.
However, barely a tenth of them make it to the third generation so there is clearly still a need for action to help family firms navigate generational changes.
Part of the key to the success of family businesses is that family firms are not answerable to external shareholders.
They have the freedom to make quick decisions and are nimble to react to change, with the ability to innovate as necessary to keep the business relevant – not just for today but for future generations.
So this Christmas why not stay local- you’ll be in for a treat in Auchterarder.
