At HM Chartered Accountants, we believe family businesses are the backbone of Northern Ireland’s economy and community. That’s why we’ve built a dedicated team to support the unique challenges and opportunities family-run firms face.
In 2015, we launched the NI Family Business Forum to bring business families together — to share experiences, learn from each other, and build lasting connections.
Today, the Forum is a thriving network supported by expert partners and our co-founding partners Ulster University Centre for Sustainable Family Enterprise.
Whether you are navigating succession, planning for growth, or simply looking to connect with others who get it — you are welcome at the NI Family Business Forum.
This October marks a milestone for the NI Family Business Forum as it celebrates 10 years of connecting and supporting family-run enterprises across Northern Ireland. The 10th Anniversary Conference, Family Business Decades, takes place on Friday 17th October 2025 at W5 Belfast, bringing together founders, next-gen leaders, and peers from across industries.
Exclusively for family-owned businesses, this inspiring event will share real stories, tackle shared challenges, and explore the future of family enterprise — creating a unique space for honest conversations, fresh perspectives, and meaningful connections.
