Do you want to make new business relationships and get more business?

We created the Family Business Practice in 2015 to support family businesses of all shapes and sizes and with their own unique brand of circumstances and needs.

Needs we totally understand because we are all family businesses too and probably facing the same challenges as you do every single day!

Our values are simple:
  • To help you fill the fridge and keep it filled on a day to day basis
  • Through knowledge, friendship and support enable you to put your head on the pillow and sleep at night
  • Provide a proven and experienced platform enabling you to form long term relationships with people you know, like and trust.

Feedback

I've been privileged to attend Peter's Family Business Practice events over the last couple of years and they amazing events. Peter's energy is stunning and his dedication to helping family businesses and their owners is without measure.

If you've not had the chance to speak to Peter or attend one of his events then I highly recommend it. Really appreciate everything you do and thank you.

Dave James Coaching

I have had the honour of knowing Peter for a number of years through my Family Business Practice membership. Peter has an infectious passion for supporting business, family businesses, to ensure that their unique features are celebrated and deliver more success.

To ensure they are not seen as 'just a family business'. Peter has turned the invaluable face to face meetings around into 72 minute meetings online, whilst retaining the passion, engagement, and energy in the meetings. I couldn't recommend Peter and the family business enough.

After attending Peter’s speaking masterclass I now have 4 speaking opportunities.  Previously I would have turned them down – now I’m just excited and keen to get talking! I fully recommend training with Peter for excellent coaching, a safe place to make mistakes, receive feedback and perfecting your technique before giving presentations.

I would strongly recommend any member to join this programme, I have learnt some really valuable tips and lessons across a number of different topics including networking, presenting and maximising client relationships…… I look forward to working with Peter more in the future developing me and my business.

“I’d recommend 'the Practice' to people who want to build their business on relationships not sales. When you do this, the sales look after themselves.”

‘It’s a room full of lovely people who are good at what they do.”

Nicholas Lee, Financial Life Planner

“Peter has got three qualities that help make the meetings what they are. He’s good at getting people into the room, which is harder than it looks. He’s good at making sure a meeting runs smoothly. And he’s good at creating an atmosphere in which everyone feels able to be heard. As a result I always feel relaxed and at ease in the meetings.”
