What one top tip would you give to a business owner embarking on a growth plan?
Try not to fall into the trap of spending the majority of your time working ‘in’ your business on day to day tasks, putting out fires etc. Apply the majority of your time to working ‘on’ your business i.e. long-term goals  and strategic plans. Most companies don’t plan to fail. They fail to plan.

Why is Lancashire a great place to grow a business?
Having spent 27 years in the States I wanted to return to my roots in Lancashire where the people are so friendly, passionate about their businesses and want to help each other.

Why are you backing Boost Business Lancashire?
They helped me so much in both establishing and growing my business and now it’s my turn to give back to SMEs in the Lancashire community.
