The Future of Family Business

We are delighted to invite you to the launch of our family business research report and hope that you will join us at 116 Pall Mall on Wednesday 14 October 2026.

Family businesses remain one of the most important drivers of the UK economy. However, many are facing increasing challenges around succession, governance, taxation and long-term planning.

Join representatives from Russell-Cooke's Family Office service and guest contributors as they discuss the report's key findings and explore what they mean for business owners and families planning for the future.

Our research explores a number of important themes, including:

• Confidence in the long-term future of family businesses

• The impact of inheritance tax changes on succession planning

• Whether the next generation is willing and prepared to take over

• The pressures influencing decisions to retain, restructure or sell family businesses

The discussion will be followed by canapés and refreshments, providing an opportunity to continue the conversation and connect with fellow business owners and advisers.
