Family Business Club

The Family Business Club is run by Frettens with Princecroft Willis and Natwest for people running family owned businesses. Family Business Club hosts Frettens and Princecroft Willis will offer some practical advice for Family Businesses.

We are delighted to welcome Warren Haskins as our guest speaker for the April 2016 event. The name Haskins was first connected with Dorset horticulture in 1882 when Harry Haskins founded a nursery in Poole.

Internationally known for its innovative and inventive approach to garden retailing, Haskins now operates 4 of the largest destination garden centres in the country.

Warren, Harry Haskins' great grandson, took over the nursery business at the age of 20. He is now Chairman of Haskins Garden Centres and very much involved in developing the business. Warren will be sharing some significant milestones in the success of the business.

If you run a family business and would be interested in attending, please let us know. Our events are free to attend and guests are welcomed (either from your own family business or Directors from another family business). Please register to ensure that we cater appropriately.

The Family Business Club Objective:

The objective of our club is to create a confidential forum for family businesses, to hear from other successful family business leaders and to discuss issues and challenges specific to the family business. As hosts, we are passionate about family businesses and our role is to organise the meetings and to act as a sounding board for attendees, providing support and guidance at every step of the development of a family business.

What our clients say about us

If I ever phoned the office or sent an email, I was always answered very quickly. Nothing seemed too much trouble, even though sometimes I thought I must have been contacting them a little too much!
Mrs Tilley - Property Client
I have to say without a shadow of doubt - 'you are a top grade law firm' with outstanding ethics. You have handled my aunts estate effortlessly, the communications always open and transparent - more than pleased.
Mr Mead
Excellent. Legalities explained in Laymans terms and very helpful advice given. Reception staff also exceptional - friendly but professional.
Mrs Cook
Friendly and professional all the way from reception to the meetings and advice. Lee made the creation of our wills easy to understand - he turned what we thought would be a complicated exercise into something simple.
Mr Love & Miss Howell
The most significant difference from the last time that I engaged a solicitor was the use of email; having direct contact via email substantially shortened response times and allowed me to progress issues at times that were convenient to me. Also it was important that, when a particular individual was not available, someone else would pick up an email and respond.
Mr Taylor
All members of staff including receptionists have been pleasant and polite at all times. If the required member of staff was unavailable a call back was always made. We were always happy that we were aware of the progress of the process with email, mail and phone calls.
Mr & Mrs Taylor
As always a very efficient and knowledgeable service. As a Managing Director, Frettens is certainly a company I trust and rely on to give me sound legal advice.
Regional Express Limited
We have a sense of comfort when Frettens are handling our requirements. Not only are they extremely responsive to any questions we may have but they have the ability and knowledge to understand our needs. They are a company we trust to handle the corporate and commercial demands of our business needs and would not hesitate to recommend them.
Corporate Commercial Client
I just want to say thank you for your professionalism and efficiency in conducting this sale.
Ms Adamo - Commercial Property Client
Friendly, insightful, professional advice delivered at an appropriate technical level for the client, accompanied by a quick delivery of well communicated actioned work.
