In conversation with Mairi Mickel

Family-owned businesses are prized by employees, customers and founding families alike. However, the interaction of family and business requires careful stewardship. In this video series, the Schroders Family Office Service team discuss some of the challenges with Mairi Mickel, family business adviser and fourth-generation shareholder of a family business.

When should you bring children into the family business? And what will the October 2024 Budget mean for business-owning families?
