Farming families in the spotlight

Our ‘Farming Families’ series highlights the achievements of families where three or more members of one family work together.

Sponsored by Firestone, this groundbreaking set of articles profiles families who pull together to achieve business success. Over the course of 2008 we’ll be running 12 such pieces.

“We are keen to be associated with this series because families are at the heart of so many farming businesses and Firestone, although now the largest tractor tyre company in the world, has been around for more than 100 years, and started as a family run farm business,” says Firestone’s marketing manager Barry Coleman.

“Like farming families, we feel strongly about value and reliability.”
