It Runs In The Family
Hello! We're Liz & Leila Willingham and welcome to "It Runs In The Family". We're the mother and daughter duo working within the public relations and communications agency, Liz Lean PR. Running a business is hard - really hard. Every business has its challenges and it's own ups and downs - but in a family business, this is often exaggerated by the willingness to speak your mind. But it also has some huge advantages that the corporate cultures just can't compete with. In this podcast, featuring a different family business guest in each episode, we're going to be digging into the stories, values and traditions of other family and multi-generational businesses. We'll explore their history, learnings and how they've developed through the generations and the unique advantages they've had over their competitors. We discover where human relationship migrates into business; the ups, downs, twists, turns and landmark moments that seal the fate of these fascinating organisations. You’ll get to hear some brilliant life stories too; some to make you laugh and others that’ll warm your heart. Many of our clients are family businesses who we've worked very closely with over a number of years - we've heard brilliant stories that reveal true values and fun operating as a family business. We want you to feel inspired by stories of others, find their honesty relatable and reach out to us with your own experiences. If you have any questions for future guests, have a story of your own or have any feedback please do feel free to get in touch on our Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itrunsinthefamilypodcast/
It Runs In The Family
Reputation: Trewithen Dairy’s True Gold with Bill & Francis Clarke #25
Cornwall is a county brimming with character & pride, and it’s also home to the 250-strong team behind Trewithen Dairy.
Part of the pride in the business from Owner Bill Clarke and 2nd generation MD Francis, comes down to their focus on bringing customers and the wider farming community together on their ambitious, exciting journey.
Bill & Francis join Liz & Leila on “It Runs In The Family” this week where we hear about the incredible team that Francis has assembled with brother and fellow MD George, Trewithen’s push for more sustainable practices, and how they make everyone feel valued, right from supplier to consumer.
This episode covers:
- The single order that convinced Bill to continue growing the dairy business
- Trewithen’s focus on inviting customers, farmers & the community on their journey
- How Trewithen have taken pride in their Cornish branding
- Bill’s pride in Francis & George’s ability to assemble their incredible team
- Sustainability coming to the forefront of the dairy industry
