How to Build, Scale and Sustain a Family Business
Wednesday 15 April 10 am
Many business owners start with a single idea, a small team and a lot of hard work.
But how do you grow that business over decades…expand into multiple ventures…and still sustain a strong family culture along the way?
Join us for this free, practical webinar, where we’ll be joined by Michael O’Hehir, co-founder of O’Hehirs Bakery, for a live conversation about the realities of building and scaling a family business.
Since opening a single bakery in Sligo in 1984, Michael and his family have expanded into multiple businesses while maintaining strong links to their community.
What we’ll discuss?
In this 45-minute session, Michael will share practical insights on:
- How he plans and sets targets across multiple businesses
- The realities of working in a family business — roles, responsibility and succession
- Balancing business, family, sport and life
- Lessons learned from four decades in business — including what he would do differently
Who should attend?
This session will be particularly relevant for business owners involved in:
- Family businesses
- Manufacturing
- Retail & FMCG
- Hotels & hospitality
- Cafés and food businesses
When?
The webinar will take place at 10:00 am on Wednesday 15 April.
It’ll last for 45 minutes, including time to ensure we answer everyone’s questions.
