KEY TAKEAWAYS
In the UK alone there are 5.7m SMEs, and they contribute £2 trillion pounds to the UK economy. They impact every part of our lives, from community to economy. The impact that companies can have upon teams, organisations, society, economies and communities is significant. Encouraging them to scale makes us all stronger. Limited markets are inbuilt to desire scale. Companies scaling and starting in places such as Ireland automatically consider export as that is where success ultimately resides. Purpose and vision are critically important for true scale. If you don't know where you're going, then how can anyone be attracted to your future?BEST MOMENTS
'That question gave me the clarity I needed'
