The move from a single to multiple sites often appears an obvious accelerator for growth for any successful commercial venture. However, there are many potential pitfalls facing the unprepared. Our two speakers shared their experiences of how they coped with what can be a challenging situation.
Here are some comments/key tips taken from delegates who attended this event:
"Format, location and speakers made for an excellent evening"
"Really good individual tips for recrtuitment, structure and overall good business"
"I feel that this was of significant interest to all the people there as the people issues are always difficult and the same support is not available outside of something like the Exchange"
"Plan well but go with your gut instinct"
"Keep your business model simple! Good people are the key to business success"
"There are several ways to look at the same problem. Keep it simple."
"It is so important to get the correct key staff and never ever settle for second best"
