Hosted in partnership with KPMG Enterprise, we will also take the opportunity to delve into the latest Family Business report from KPMG, examining the critical drivers that enable New Zealand family businesses to achieve long-term, sustainable growth.
We will also bring some expertise togther for a practical panel discussion following Louise's presentation.
