The Greek philosopher Heraclitus’ quote “Change is the only constant” has been spot on this month, and we are certainly all experts in embracing it!
Our focus during November has been the creation of partnerships with Nicky and Joe starting new business relationships, whilst Richard reviews a strategic partnership in the world of UCaaS.
We also share advice from the Cognitive Law team, for those businesses with bounce back loans due for repayment, who are needing to make some tough decisions about their future.
A new partnership for Joe with a local social enterprise.

“A brilliant organisation with feet in both the charity and commercial camps and making the best of both” the trust provide care, skills training and employment opportunities in an enlightened way, combining partnerships between social enterprise and charity fundraising
