Family Business
Unlike the Mitchells and the Beales and Fowlers, the Brannings and the Jacksons didn't have an official business empire. However, they had a lot of influence in Walford's business industry. Max Branning is a salesman and his brother Jack co-owned R&R with Ronnie Mitchell (2007–2009) and also an investor of Darren Miller's car lot (2009) until he sold 'Pat Cars' to Archie Mitchell. Tanya Branning owned Booty (2006–2009) her sister-in-law, Suzy, also managed it for a while. Bradley was a banker from 2006-2008. Dot Branning has run the laundrette on her own since Pauline Fowler's death in 2006. Whitney Dean, Bianca's daughter, runs a T-Shirt stall, following in Bianca's footsteps, as Bianca had run a clothes stall for much of the 1990s. In 2010, Max and Bradley start their own business, Branning and Son, and rent Roxy Mitchell's car lot as premises. When Bradley was killed a few months later, Carol Jackson managed the car lot briefly, but Max returned and took on Darren as a salesman. In 2011, Jack sold his 60% share of R&R and went into business with Max at the car lot. In 2012, Bianca begun to help Whitney on her stall while Derek went into partnership with Phil Mitchell.

Famous quotes containing the words family and/or business:
“In the U.S. for instance, the value of a homemaker’s productive work has been imputed mostly when she was maimed or killed and insurance companies and/or the courts had to calculate the amount to pay her family in damages. Even at that, the rates were mostly pink collar and the big number was attributed to the husband’s pain and suffering.”
—Gloria Steinem (20th century)
“The point is that nationalism, even in its latest madhouse frenzies under Mussolini and Hitler, is still, like advertising, an arm of big business. Nations as we know them today, were the invention of business and it is natural that business should still consider itself slightly above patriotism and that the strongest international should still be the international of profits.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
