Fresh blood, fresh direction

The theme of the award ceremony at January 11th - ‘Family businesses, the art of successful transition’ - is very topical in the horticulture sector. In his study ‘Fresh blood, fresh direction’ (Nieuw bloed, nieuwe koers), Prof. Purcey Heugens of RSM Erasmus University has concluded that the handover of family businesses does not always go smoothly. A discussion took place with the leading entrepreneurs in the hall about how the business transition can be managed better.
