The Successor’s Voice is a practical guide for family members succeeding to ownership of a family business, either taking over ownership directly or joining as manager and heir apparent. It is written from the perspective of an author who has himself had senior roles in a large and successful family business, who set up a non-profit to support successors and now advises and supports others taking on similar roles in their own family businesses. The role of owner or manager in a family business presents unique challenges for the individual concerned, for the family and for the business itself. This important book provides for the first time a go-to resource for the successor to a family-in-business – taking the reader step by step through the processes required to inform themselves on the possibilities of ownership, decide on the best path for them and in turn make a contribution to successful succession. In the words of the author, it is a book written by a successor for successors.

“Philip listens. Having walked the road of succession, and counselled many others, he is an astute and wise observer of people. The Successor's Voice distils down his empathy and wisdom in a considered, practical, way.” Col Campbell, 2nd generation successor. Chair of the Board, Bewley's Ltd. “A worthy book from one who has truly lived family business and succession. Philip is a complete thinker with sound advice, and I am glad to have this work in my library!” Joe Astrachan, Family Business Fellow, Smith Family Business Initiative at Cornell University, Board Chair and Founder, Generation6, Family Enterprise Advisors. “Being a successor in a family business is largely an inherited condition. This book is chock full of information and ideas based on the author's lived experience that will help all successors understand the challenge of finding their authentic voice.” Ken McCracken, International Family Enterprise Consultant
