We are proud this #FamilyBusinessFriday to publish the fifth in our series of six brilliant future-looking family business leaders, forming our #FamilyBusinessWeek - ‘Ones to Watch’. Perhaps working just a mile from Dorset’s Jurassic Coast helps foster a different sense of time, but Emily Palmer Ramus, Chief Executive of Palmers Brewery, clearly has a long-term perspective. Named CEO only recently, Emily is the fifth generation descendent of John Cleeves and Robert Henry Palmer, brothers who bought an existing brewing company back in the late 19th Century. There has been beer brewing on site non-stop since 1794. Dorset-based Palmers employs 50 people directly, and their 52 pubs (all tenanted) employ a further c1,000. While the selection of beers Palmers produces may evolve, The Dorset Pale craft keg was added a few years back, the heart of the business has remained the same. “People and custodianship are always at the heart and have been for generations”, Emily explains. Staff service is measured in decades at Palmers. Half of the staff have been there over 10 years, with many over 20, and some over 30. Emily says: “Long service creates the family atmosphere at the brewery, and means we have a workforce with a wealth of knowledge and breadth of experience as they’ve often held multiple roles.” Read more about Emily and her family business journey Palmers Brewery, in our "Ones to Watch" https://bit.ly/EmilyPra ?
