Australian businesses are family owned; 96% of these are SMEs.
Understandably, the role of a small business advisor frequently
involves mediation between family members. Carix's Stuart Carr gave a
presentation at the National
Conference of the Institute of Arbitrators & Mediators Australia
(IAMA) sharing his experiences of supporting businesses to move

Carix Director, Stuart
Carr, gave a compelling presentation at the
Western Sydney Manufacturing Leaders Forum on

have become successful global market leaders. The elements of success
include: domination in niche markets, family ownership combined with
good governance, and operational effectiveness.
