A lack of succession planning is the number one reason family-owned businesses fail to survive. But for those who intend to pass on the business to the next generation, assumptions about how the transition will work without clear communication and an agreed structure can have a devastating effect on the business continuity and personal relationships.In 2010, Gavin Howarth started working at his family business, Howarths, an HR and employment law firm. In 2013, Gavin became the Managing Director, following many open discussions and careful planning. His parents subsequently implemented the transition of ownership to Gavin, which saw him become the majority shareholder.As a NextGen leader, Gavin has had to find his own management and leadership style to remain authentic, feel confident, maintain a good relationship with his father, and build on the values that created the business. In this episode, Gavin shares his experience so that other businesses can thrive.GuestGavin HowarthHowarthsThe Howarth Foundation

We touch on various sectors including manufacturing, retail, and wholesale as well as property and construction. Although still in the midst of a global pandemic, we are moving away from lockdowns, resulting in more demand for products; the result being a demand for employees, rising business volumes, and a more optimistic future for businesses. However, against this backdrop, concerns around inflation, pivoting business models, rising employment costs, and the need for more rapid digital transformation are all things we need to contend with.Guest George Lagarias Mazars Family Business ServicesExploring Family Business Podcast EpisodesFamily Business Survey 2020The economy & your investments webinar series
In our 2nd episode, Natalie is joined by Russ Haworth, a Family Business Consultant and founder of the Family Business Partnership. Russ is also the host of the widely acclaimed Family Business podcast, which he launched in 2017 https://fambizpodcast.com/Natalie and Russ discuss the emotional and more personal side of succession planning – preparing the family. Russ explains how to break down emotional barriers so families can prepare themselves for the next stage of the business and the next stage of life. Succession is inevitable, but the success of the plan and ultimately the business hinders on the communication and honesty of all members of the family system. By creating a safe environment for both open discussions and (positive) conflict, Russ explains how he challenges thinking and beliefs so that families can design a succession plan that suits their long-term needs.

For the first episode of season 2, Natalie is joined by Alan Frost, Partner in the Consulting division of Mazars and the third and final generation of his own family business. They discuss how essential it is to involve both family and non-family members in designing a general business plan, so the business can thrive. Defining the aims, value, and mission will lead to more open conversations around succession planning and will help determine who the future owners, leaders and managers of the business will be, accepting that these roles are not synonymous. By aligning your business plan and succession plan you will ensure that the business has the best chance of long term continuity and success, and when the time comes you will be ready to hand over the keys.
