If you want to learn successful strategies for networking says SEAN HUMBY then you might be best looking to the skies for lessons.

Possibly because my father is an ardent twitcher and probably because of seeing geese so regularly whilst out and about I have always been fascinated by why so many birds fly in a V formation. What follows are my interpretations for business and for networking!

Goose fact 1 . As each goose flaps its wings it creates 71% more uplift for birds that are following, so by flying in formation the whole flock adds 71% greater flying range than by...

Over half a million businesses starting up in the last twelve months create a challenge for anyone hoping to stand out and be successful by making their firm recognised and heard above bigger competitors.

The good news is that new and small businesses don’t have to spend unnecessary cash or be a big company to make a big impression.

Knowing what makes a strong and recognisable corporate identity which attracts customers (and identity isn’t just visual and ‘looking nice’) gives the power to get firms noticed and helps build a reputation. The right identity provides a...

Nick Agg-Manning, Managing Director of Outside Adventure Consultants Ltd, reveals how businesses in Devon can get the most out of the county's large tourism industry.
