In this latest podcast Scott Jones, CEO  of 123 Internet Group speaks with Richard Osborne from Business Data Group about the Impact of COVID-19 and how it has affected their business, what they have been doing and the trends they have seen for new business start-ups.

Business Data Group has its roots within the company formation sector starting in 2002, as the online platform behind the company registration agent Quick Formations that won a number of awards for Innovation in Technology. In January 2008 that technology was transferred into a new company, eFiling, to independently bring it to market. A few years later the company Quick Formations was sold to enable the management team to solely focus on the technology without any conflicts of interest.

As the business continued to grow and the industry changed, eFiling through working with teams from many corporate clients including Lloyds Banking Group, Barclays Bank, Google, and more, understood the need for a more focused and intelligent approach to customer acquisition. By analysing business start-up data and matching this with the needs of these clients the company portfolio evolved, and in November 2017 eFiling became known as Business Data Group (BDG).

Special Episode: This week marks Mental Health Awareness Week which aims for everyone to open up and talk about their mental health, while reducing the stigma that can stop people from asking for help. This year's theme focuses on 'Kindness' so we were pleased when Jon Manning from Arthur Ellis asked to interview Scott Jones, CEO of 123 Internet Group.

The UK is in a mental health crisis. It is becoming more and more difficult to access mental health services and in some cases, just to see a GP.

With thresholds to access these specialist services increasing as well as referrals going up by 300% in some areas of the country, it’s becoming more and more difficult to get help. As a result; Only 1 in every 8 adults receive treatment for their mental health and only 3% of that eighth receive psychological therapy. Nationally, 75% of children and young people are unable to access support at all.

That’s where Arthur Ellis and our mission to help the nation become #IndependentFromIllness comes in…
