Let me tell you a true story. Once upon a time there was a construction company who had a tender to be delivered. When the client balked at the price (it was going to Edinburgh so was around £600 same day) I asked how much the tender was worth. It was £82m. When we put that value into perspective the client laughed and booked a same day courier - understanding the minimal chance of it being late or mis-delivered which is a 1-5% probability with a consolidated (overnight) courier just wasn't a risk worth taking. And I am happy to say they won the tender. 😊

Goodbye 2019, hello opportunity in 2020!
As we prepare to say goodbye to 2019 and welcome in 2020, many businesses use this time of year to reflect on the year gone by. It’s easy as business owners to focus on what hasn’t gone quite right. Maybe it’s time to focus on those things that have and will make your business stronger.
How's Christmas going for you E-tailers? We've had a few frantic calls from online retailers just today, who despite a very short season are finding this Christmas a nightmare……and we are lining them up to on-board them in the New Year.
