Last week, the Stillwell family opened their doors to Brighton BMW for our Meet the Owner Event. We started the evening with a tour and behind-the-scenes look at the operations. There were lots of Oohs and Ahhs while members were taken through the showroom, discovering the latest vehicles on the market. We wouldn’t be surprised if there are some ‘soon to be’ proud owners of a new BMW or Mini in the group!
Michael and Chris shared their rich family business history, we heard about the legacy Bib Stillwell instilled in establishing strong values in the business and the family. We also heard from next generation family member, Alice in how the family is nurturing and igniting the passion and skillset of their next generation through their Next Gen Council.
“Don’t underestimate how much your younger family members will absorb by having a seat at the table, how much they will learn and grow and that will impact them in your family and in their professional lives.”
It was a fantastic opportunity to catch up with so many familiar faces and some new faces as well. To all those first-time members who came along, it was great to see you and we hope you got a lot out of the experience!
Thank you so much to the whole Stillwell family for having us, showing us around and sharing your story. And thank you Lea Boyce for facilitating the panel.
Join us at our next FBA event
