  • Rachel Norrington HR Houdini

    What a great lady.

    We discussed some of the nightmares Businesses face when employing people to keep everyone on target pulling in the same direction. How employing family members can make life tricky, and of course, Covid, Furloughed staff and what comes next after Furlough.

    Rachel described Businesses as getting tied up in knots if they do not have good HR systems in place, which could cause them huge problems long term. Rachel has a soft and gentle way which is great in arbitration and is an unflappable pragmatic person.

  • WORDZUP A very Creative conversation

    Having a conversation with Jonathan Hughes about his business Wordzup was very satisfying. He is a natural speaker, engaging, creative catalyst, capable of turning a business around by seeing what an owner may not. Jonathan is inspiring, refreshing, highly skilled and completely honest.

    We talked about his Seminar Eyes Wide Open. An opportunity for a business owner to deep dive into his business, and look at what works, as well as observing what may need a fine-tune, or throwing out altogether. I can recommend spending some time with this particular Creative.

  • Mary Gillespie, Heather Bank, A Covid Tale

    Owning a Guest House is a busy profession, usually, but in COVID it all stopped. The problem is that fixed costs stayed the same, and no income. The husband being a horticulturalists also meant no income. Nothing was happening. It was a really tough time and required real lateral thinking.

    The guest house is a lovely, large period style home with about 7 rooms. A really interesting set of pets, 2 small dogs, a couple of cats, a parrot and some reptiles, all very well ordered and well looked after and GREAT COOKING.

    So what is the way ahead when you are not earning. Mary talks to us about the trials and tribulations and her beautiful house and garden in Camberley Surrey
