From sibling quarrels to inheritance infighting the sky television series “ Succession “ is the penthouse of dramas far above ordinary family mayhem. The award-winning show does not imagine what could go wrong in family empires it plasters together what has gone wrong in case after case of real life melodrama and applies a glorious gloss of word play and satire.
The farce makes for great telly especially as Logan Roy - the patriarch of the family - favours his only daughter.
Family businesses can have strange dynamics and the show offers a tempting conclusion that you should never work with your family.
But the truth is that family businesses - at their best - are world beating. They can outperform other businesses because they have high degrees of trust and communication.
The antidote to the duplicity and shenanigans of Succession ,the tv show , is available for all to see at Earl Transport in Lancashire.
It’s not uncommon to see curtain-siders with “. & son” after the family name of the haulier. It’s less common to see “ & daughter “ But that’s the position at Earl Transport in Accrington. Peter Hughes started this successful haulage company 43 years ago and his daughter - Rhian was so impressed by her father‘s business acumen that she followed him into the business and Peter’s personal succession is now secured. But Peter was farsighted and would not allow his daughter to come straight into the family business even though she sometimes did her school homework in the cab. He wanted her to gain wider business experience before joining the family business and taking it to the next level. Rhian can now drive every class of hgv but is also no stranger to tv herself. In this edition of BACK AMONGST FRIENDS we find out how Rhian was taken by Cadbury’s from haulage operator to television ice skating maestro.
