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:
“The son will run away from the family not at eighteen but at twelve, emancipated by his gluttonous precocity; he will fly not to seek heroic adventures, not to deliver a beautiful prisoner from a tower, not to immortalize a garret with sublime thoughts, but to found a business, to enrich himself and to compete with his infamous papa.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–67)
“Justice means minding one’s own business and not meddling with other men’s concerns.”
