Description

There’s an art to family businesses, and if it’s mastered half as well as Graham & Brown have mastered their wallpaper designs, they’ll be thriving for generations to come.

The 4th gen is now firmly in place, thanks to Iona and the watchful eye of her father Andrew, and they join us on It Runs In The Family this week to share their long-term perspective, the respect for legacy design, and whether they share the same taste within the family…

This episode covers:

  • Unique challenges and benefits that Andrew and Iona have found when working alongside family 
  • Graham & Brown’ rich 79-year history, and blending the brand’s legacy with innovation
  • The Blackburn community’s importance to the brand, and their sense of responsibility
  • Taking a no-pressure approach to inviting family members into the business
