Views From Our Community

Greg McCann

I have known and worked with Paul over the last 15 years and commend him as a true champion in our field. He has worked tirelessly to bring resources, speakers and connections to family businesses in England and throughout the world. He is as generous as he is committed to our field and a true pleasure to work with.

Martin Williams

Having been introduced to the work of Paul and FBU during the past 18 months, I am astonished at his professionalism and enthusiasm for Family Business, and his keenness to promote the good work done at every opportunity. I have been involved at events held by FBU and the people involved from the business side have created something of a family within the membership, it is a super friendly atmosphere, and such a good place to broker thoughts as well as having FBU working within Government giving those businesses a voice.

Chris Black

Paul Andrews, CEO of Family Business United is an out and out ambassador for the family business sector. He has made it his mission to support and promote the sector, something he does with a passion. He has greatly assisted our family business, Sound Leisure, on many occasions and I would recommend him unreservedly to anyone.

Grant Gordon OBE

Paul has deep knowledge of family business and the related dynamics. Underpinned by his expertise in social media and communications he has made a powerful contribution to driving greater awareness of the issues facing family firms, promoting best practice as well as the strategic importance of the sector to our national wealth.
