How to Run a Successful Family Business for 44 Years

What is the secret to running a successful, long-lasting family business? Find out in the first episode of our new video podcast series, the 10 Plus Club.

Keeping a business afloat for more than 10 years is an impressive achievement. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, only 35% of businesses make it past their 10th birthday.

To celebrate the successful businesses that reach that milestone, we've launched a new video series called 'The 10 Plus Club', where we speak to the owners of businesses that have stood the test of time.

First up is Justin Hawthorne, who runs Ted's Baked Potatoes in Sutton Coldfield. It was launched by Justin's parents in 1980, and is currently thriving under the co-management of Justin and his brother.

Justin and BusinessesForSale.com's Marcus Markou sat down to chat about the perfect topping on a baked potato, the secrets to success in a family business, and much more. Watch the video below.
