President Deborah Loughran, stated, ‘Newry Chamber of Commerce is delighted to host this informative breakfast seminar in association with BDO who have a long history of supporting businesses particularly those in the family business sector. The greater Newry area has any number of small, medium and large family run businesses including some of our most successful companies. It will be interesting to hear about the type of issues that come up time and again in this field and to identify ways to resolve them to ensure Newry continues to be a place where family businesses are nurtured and developed.'
Cathy Booth, People Solutions Director, stated, ‘BDO is delighted to be jointly hosting this event with the Newry Chamber of Commerce. Family businesses are the bedrock of our economy and it is therefore in all our interests to ensure these businesses continue to thrive from one generation to the next. Planning for succession is one of the most challenging, yet critical, times for a family business and with only 3.2% surviving past 3rd generation there is a clear need to ensure they can source and avail of the right support and guidance as they navigate this minefield'
