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:
“With a new familiarity and a flesh-creeping “homeliness” entirely of this unreal, materialistic world, where all “sentiment” is coarsely manufactured and advertised in colossal sickly captions, disguised for the sweet tooth of a monstrous baby called “the Public,” the family as it is, broken up on all hands by the agency of feminist and economic propaganda, reconstitutes itself in the image of the state.”
—Percy Wyndham Lewis (1882–1957)
“I am not going to have 2,000 condoms hanging in my window. I don’t care what it represents.”
—Sharon Zuckerbrod, U.S. business executive. As quoted in Newsweek magazine, p. 23 (November 20, 1989)
