About Peter Roper

“I don't think there's another speaker in the world that knows more about family businesses (in other words most businesses) than Peter Roper. He is a rare talent on stage, delivers great advice, and is the most charming and likeable man on and off stage. I recommend him unreservedly.”
Alan Stevens

 

Peter Roper is a family business specialist with over forty-five years of experience in both owning and helping family businesses. Peter aka "The Family Business Man" offers facilitated training and development programmes for both family businesses and organisations who wish to create long-term, substantial, and effective relationships with family businesses.
 
Following a major and highly successful corporate career (where he was responsible for a business that turned over no less than £38 million), he threw caution to the wind and set up his own consultancy business in 1996. Since then, he has had six family businesses of his own and has helped literally thousands of family businesses.

Peter founded the Family Business Practice in 2014 which is a member-driven, encouraging, supportive, educational, vibrant and proactive community of family businesses providing well over one hundred online and offline events a year. This is now a thriving and growing community that meets on a regular basis, both online and offline, to help get more business, be able to sleep better at night and work with partners who they know, like, and trust!

 

In a twenty-seven-year multi-award-winning speaking career Peter has spoken to well over 750,000 delegates. As a Past National President, Fellow, and board member of the Professional Speaking Association, Peter was given the Professional Speaking Award for Excellence in 2019 – only a handful of people hold this prestigious accolade.
