What matters to me

  • 60% of people in the UK work for a Small Businesses. We can do great things if we decide to.
  • We never stop learning, including about ourselves. Know what you’re good at and what you’re rubbish at.
  • Work with great people, support them and give them a workplace they love.
  • Just like a business, society needs to think long-term but act quickly.
  • People generally have good intentions, but that doesn’t mean they’re right all the time! – especially advisors like me. Take advice, listen – but at the end of the day, do what works for you.
