SEP 9, 202649 MIN

Description

One fateful year for dairy farmers and a simple milk quota turned a Cotswolds dairy farm into a nationally-beloved, family-owned ice cream brand - Marshfield Farm Ice Cream. In this episode of It Runs in the Family, Leila and Liz sit down with mother-son duo Dawn and Angus Hawking to explore how diversification and graft turned a side hustle in the late-80s into a multi‑generational business. From robotic milkers and B Corp accreditation to Swizzles licensing deals and “Deliver‑Moo” home delivery, we bring you a candid, hilarious, and practical look at building a family business the next generation is proud to inherit. 🔑 Key Themes The Family’s Diversification from Dairy to Ice Cream Multi‑Generational Family Business Dynamics Next‑Gen Ownership and Leaving a Legacy Where B Corp Values Meet Family Values Innovating and Creating New Partnerships 🔗 Connect with us Marshfield Website: https://www.marshfield-icecream.co.uk/ Marshfield LI: https://www.linkedin.com/company/marshfield-farm-ice-cream/ Dawn LI: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dawn-h-26815827/ Angus LI: https://www.linkedin.com/in/angus-hawking-7652871a2/ Liz Willingham: https://www.instagram.com/lizzielean/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/liz-willingham-09273a3/ Leila Willingham: https://www.instagram.com/leilawillingham/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/leila-willingham-821530a1/ Liz Lean PR: https://www.lizleanpr.co.uk/ https://www.instagram.com/lizleanpr  https://www.linkedin.com/company/liz-lean-pr/
