Feedback

Received good guidance on the value and worth (financially and logically) of giving/selling others shares in the business as well as other nuggets

Good open honest insights from the speakers and chairman

Remarkably open discussions and advice given and discussed. Experience and knowledge transferred

Interaction between attendees was very good and well chaired. Speakers gave a most helpful insight

Key tip for me was to find out why people want equity in the company

Part of the growth strategy should include a point of top heavy management followed by expansion. Give your team their birthday off!!

I gained several tips on Rewarding, Monitoring, Retention, Motivation etc of staff - Difference between Leadership and Management - Employing and empowering top people to help grow the business - Importance of separating friendship and managing the team and knowing when to replace individuals - Top team buy in and end game objectives - Economies of scale in building teams and businesses

Tips? - 4 pages of them!

Tony was excellent at including everyone yet taking time to address specific concerns

Tony was top class, kept the night on line and under control. Ability to instantly bond with attendees and had a very good sence of humour which helped set the scene and tone for the evening

Richard was open honest and focused on his business. Shared good and bad experiences on growing Vets Now

Alan obviously has a wealth of experience - very animated speaker - would love to hear more about his story

Alan is an inspirational character with down to earth delivery. Open helpful and shared good and bad experiences. Managed to give solid advice for all businesses, large or small
