NAMA is very happy to announce that we are now lifetime ambassadors for the Family Business Place. The Family Business Place was founded in 2008 in recognition of the fact that family-owned companies face very different challenges from non-family-run firms. The aim has been to build a community of family business owners who can meet, share, and learn from each other.
As a family business, with a large section of our client base, which is also family-run, it made perfect sense for Not Another Marketing Agency to become involved in this exciting organisation. Family businesses are extremely important to the economy, making up 85% of all private sector firms and contributing around £598billion to the UK economy every year. Alongside this, they are likely to fit into the SME bracket, with many of our clients arguing that their business “couldn’t run without them”.
After a difficult year for many businesses, it’s great to have the feeling that we are all in this together. For family-owned businesses, the pandemic and recent lockdowns have, in some cases, removed all sources of income to multiple generations within the same family. NAMA hopes that by becoming involved in the Family Business Place, we can provide multi-generational firms with the marketing and business tools they need to ensure that their business is passed down to future generations.
If you are a member of a family-owned business and are interested in joining the Family Business Place, take a look at their free resources first. If you find yourself nodding as you are watching, you’re probably an ideal prospective member.
If you are a family business that wants to work with another family business, then get in touch.
