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.

Chickens and eggs are excellent words for a magazine serving a county such as Devon, but in business terms…which came first: the chicken or the egg? Do businesses in Devon react to, and create, some of our tourism or does the amount of tourism we get, create businesses off the back of it?

Jurassic Coast; moorland and National Parks; rivers and beaches; castles and manors…yes, we have it all here in Devonshire...

Apprenticeships do work, say one of the region's fastest growing accountancy firms, as two of their office apprentices are promoted to senior members.

Bishop Fleming, with seven offices and 300 staff, believe they have proved the effectiveness of in-house training with Plymouth-based former apprentices, Kevin Connor and Daniel White, being appointed as senior managers.

Charlie Thomson, partner in charge of Bishop Fleming's Plymouth office, says: "As a firm, we take huge pride in ‘growing our own', as well as recruiting people from ‘the Big Four' accountancy firms.

The first quarter of 2015 has seen improved confidence resulting in an increase in activity within the commercial property market throughout Devon. Exeter in particular is experiencing substantial growth and has become the South West’s most vibrant commercial hub.

Demand for both industrial and business space remains healthy with agents experiencing a shortage of current supply, which has not been helped with the lack of new development over the past seven years or so due to the challenging marketing conditions during the recession.

This will be eased with the future...
