Global Business: Family Run
Posted 13 May 2025
Running a global business with your family is a unique journey—one that blends ambition with trust, and scale with heart. At UKPR Group, we’ve built a company that operates across borders, yet feels like home.

Founded in the mid-2000s, UKPR has always been a family-owned and family-run business. As Founder and Chairman, I’ve had the privilege of growing the company alongside relatives and long-standing colleagues who feel like family. This foundation has shaped a culture where loyalty, shared purpose, and mutual respect are more than values—they’re the way we work every day.
Despite our global reach in the payments and fintech sectors, we’ve never lost sight of what makes us different: our people. We’ve intentionally kept our team close-knit, ensuring that every member—whether family or not—feels valued and aligned with our ethos of customer satisfaction, quality, and delivering value for money.
Being family-run means we take a long-term view. We prioritise sustainability and ethical practices over short-term gains, and our decision-making is agile and responsive to client needs. It also means we’re deeply invested in the legacy we’re building—not just for ourselves, but for our team, our partners, and the communities we serve.
I’m proud of the balance we’ve struck: a global business with local values, a professional operation with a personal touch. It’s a model that’s helped us grow, adapt, and thrive—and one we’ll continue to nurture for years to come.
If you’re curious about how family values can drive global success, or if you’re navigating the dynamics of running a business with loved ones, I’d love to connect and share experiences.
