Be bold

I’ve never been a great one for predictions – they have a habit of coming back to bite you. However, the start of a new year is a logical prompt for a little thinking aloud. So here are a few thoughts.

The economic pundits are decidedly gloomy: the Eurozone is in crisis; the US is flat-lining; the UK seems to be not much better; and there is doubt over whether the so-called ‘BRIC’s’ can actually make any difference at all despite the relative strength of their respective economies.

Somehow though, the global macro-economic picture feels somewhat remote from what we’re experiencing as a service company in the UK. Volumes have been exceptionally high this Christmas and New Year with double-digit growth on the same time last year.
