The new year is almost upon us. And for business owners that means it’s time to start looking to the challenges that the new year will bring.

It’s time to think about what will happen as the economy grows more uncertain with the looming issue of Brexit (whether you voted for it or not, there’s no denying that it will have long term economic repercussions including the possibility of a recession). But perhaps most importantly of all, it means doing your part to ensure that your business leads the charge for sustainability and ecological awareness. Given that our PM couldn’t be bothered to even turn up to a debate on climate change, it’s up to the UK’s businesses and entrepreneurs to show how much they care about a sustainable business future.

Running A Business Event In Style

Posted on by Emma Reed

*Collaborative Post

There are a range of reasons as to why you might throw an internal business event. Perhaps you’re running your first award show to try and congratulate the excellent workers in your business?

Running an event or business presentation in style can be well worth it because it helps you pop out. More and more businesses are clamouring to show they have some form of corporate personality, be that through insightful or funny comments on Twitter, carefully ‘approachable’ marketing copy or a range of other carefully calculated considerations.
