Northern Ireland Family Business Forum - 10 Year Impact Report

The Northern Ireland Family Business Forum’s 10-Year Impact Report is a snapshot of what this community has built together and a guide to where it’s headed next. Over the last decade the Forum has created a trusted room for owners, successors and partners to learn from lived experience - sharing practical tools on governance and succession, strengthening resilience, championing next-gen and women in leadership,
and celebrating what’s home-grown in every county.

This report brings that story together: a year-by-year timeline of activity, short narratives from key events, highlights from research collaborations, and examples of how ideas moved from the stage to the shop floor. It’s written for families who want to compare notes, for partners who support them, and for educators and policymakers who shape the wider ecosystem. We hope it helps you see the breadth of the contribution, borrow what works, and join us in curating the next decade of family business in Northern Ireland
