Business transition and succession planning information sessions

Primary producers in central and southern NSW have the opportunity to develop skills to assist with family farm succession and business transition at complimentary information sessions.

Hosted by the NSW Rabo Client Council, the practical Business Transition and Succession Planning information sessions will be held in Griffith, Wagga Wagga, Gunning and Forbes in late July and early August.

The initiative has been led and funded by food and agribusiness banking specialist Rabobank’s Rabo Client Councils, a group of innovative, forward-thinking clients who are passionate about making a difference in their communities and support a range of activities designed to make a meaningful impact on the vibrancy and resilience of rural Australia.

The interactive sessions – which are free of charge – offer practical information, such as why family and business communication can be difficult and how to improve it, what makes a meeting work and how to take account of differing family goals.

The information sessions – which will be limited to 30 participants each and are not restricted to the bank’s clients – will be presented by content and facilitator partner, Transition Partners director Jim Benson.

Rabobank’s NSW Client Council member and Coleambally-based cotton and cereals producer Annabel Burge said the sessions encouraged active planning for farming families as they prepare for generational transitions within their farming enterprises.
