I have been discussing awards with three different magazine editors this month. Across the three titles, it transpires that there were circa 1,000 entries last year – not bad considering the pandemic factor! 1000! Trust me, this is NOT usual. Why? Well, most small businesses are REALLY BAD at awards and by that I …
“I DO know who you are. I don’t know what you want. If you are looking for boring content I can tell you, I don’t have boring content, but what I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a dream …

It isn’t every day that I’m introduced as the warm up act for Piers Morgan. Or that I find myself agreeing with him. However, this “Winsday” I’m back at the same venue, The Vox, here in Birmingham, for another major business event and this morning’s topics included a major focus on positioning and status. …
My client, Gary Digva, Director and Visionary at Road Angel called me with a problem, a problem that swiftly became an opportunity. He’d been charged for driving in London’s congestion zone, only the problem was, it wasn’t him. It wasn’t even his vehicle… That was easy to tell because he drives a Lamborghini and the …
