In light of the prevailing circumstances Scottish family businesses are being encouraged to join the campaign to put Scottish family firms on the map as it becomes a virtual event.
As Paul Andrews, founder of FBU and champion of the family business sector explains, "We did not want to cancel what is always a great event and are now looking at innovative ways to make it work."
"Family businesses are the backbone of the Scottish economy and need as much profile and support during these uncertain times so we are encouraging them to get involved, share news and pictures and generally try and boost morale too. The 2020 Scottish Family Business Road Trip is going virtual!"
Running from 23-27 March the 'virtual road trip' will showcase insights and interviews, research findings and images from family firms across the country. Free to take part there are lots of ways that family firms can engage:
