Lessons in resilience and success: a snapshot of multi-generational family businesses in Fingal.
Policy Report.
Dublin City University.
The DCU Centre for Family Business is delighted to launch Lessons in Resilience and Success: A Snapshot of Multi-Generational Family Businesses in Fingal, Dublin. As the title suggests, this report is testament to the success and resilience of these multi-generational
family businesses. Their economic and social contribution as evidenced from their turnover, employee numbers, developments, and exports is invaluable. These businesses are hubs for investment, growth and opportunity, as showcased by the numerous impressive
endeavours found throughout our report. They are embedded in their communities and bolster the local Fingal economy by employing and supplying locally, engaging in philanthropic efforts and promoting
their locality. This project marks the first research output resulting from
our Memorandum of Understanding with Fingal County Council.
I, and the research team within DCU Centre for Family Business, will continue our endeavour in delivering dedicated research and specialist support for the management and sustainability of Irish family business.
