We are pleased to be sponsoring this upcoming event, delivered by the CLA, which brings together a panel of experienced rural specialists to explore the challenges and opportunities around rural succession planning.
The session features practical updates from industry experts, including our Director Claire Hambleton, aimed at helping family businesses plan effectively for the future.
Rural Succession planning is often postponed—but it’s one of the most important responsibilities for any family business. Without a clear plan, decisions may be made under pressure, with fewer options and greater financial and emotional cost.
Join us for a practical session focused on finding solutions and developing a strategy for succession planning. This event is designed to help both CLA members and family businesses protect their future, maintain family harmony, and make informed decisions with confidence.
You’ll hear from trusted experts on:
- Tax updates and how the CLA can support you
- Business structures: companies, partnerships, and gifting shares
- Legal essentials: Wills, Power of Attorney, trusts, and agreements
Start the conversation. Shape your future.
Take confident, informed steps towards successful succession.
Venue
This event takes place at Heaton House Farm, Rushton Spencer, Macclesfield, SK11 0RD.
