Alchemy Partners’ Jon Moulton (above) tells businesses they have only one option during this recession: SURVIVAL, even if slashing investment and innovation, and hoarding cash means prolonging the recession for everyone else. Moulton’s frank and brutal assessment of the current economic crisis is just part of the brilliant upcoming April issue of Business First.
You will meet John Best, the Kent racehorse trainer whose success on the track is more than matched by his shrewd eye for deals at the sales. Find out how Fortnum & Mason have managed to stay at the top of their game for over 300 years, and what lessons can that hold for business today. We visit Milton Keynes, whose revolutionary approach to town planning has been the butt of jokes over the years but is now proving to be a world-class centre for business.
As the magazine grows in reach and stature, we are also adapting to what our readership says it wants in a premium business magazine.
We now have specialist sections on Finance, Law, Technology, Management, Enterprise, Property and Green Business.
As well as expert comment and advice from some of the country’s top financial and legal minds, there are articles inside each section: Ian Beach of Ridge Crest Cleaning in Kent went green to win a big contract – now it is a policy that has built a multi-million pound business. Brian Raincock of Litigation Funding recounts his experiences at the rocky forefront of the campaign to open the justice system to all, while Tim Price of PFP Wealth Management brings us his customarily wry insights into the markets, this time asking what lessons can be learned from Japan’s decade in the financial wilderness.
A new columnist, Professor Roger Steare from the Cass Business School in London, sees a different way of doing business rising out of the ashes of the old. Roger is a corporate philosopher whose views are sought by the world’s biggest companies. His views are as fascinating as they are profound.
We will even introduce you to the South's leading - or perhaps that should be ONLY - professional fetish photographer.
She has quite a story to tell!
