What our members say

Sara Sturges and Richard Balson
STRIDE’s family business mixer was a wonderful evening. There is something really special about being in a room with people who understand the weight of carrying something forward that was built before them. The connections I made were genuine and the conversation was energising. As someone rebuilding the American arm of England’s oldest family business, finding a community like STRIDE has been invaluable. Highly recommend to any family business owner looking for real peer connection.
