Why Sustainable Business Growth Starts With Better Strategic Choices

Sustainable business growth rarely happens by accident. While quick wins, sudden demand, or short-term campaigns can give a company a temporary boost, lasting success depends on the quality of the choices made behind the scenes. Every decision, from where to invest resources to which markets to enter, shapes how strong, adaptable, and profitable a business becomes over time.

Better strategic choices help businesses grow with purpose rather than simply chasing every opportunity that appears.

The Q2 Breakfast

Thanks to a great suggestion from one of the previous attendees, we came up with the idea of a regular networking event/update from Alastair for everyone that had been to all the previous events. This allows fellow directors to meet other business owners. If they weren’t in the same group then there should be lots of new faces and if they were then they can catch-up over a coffee and a bacon butty.

We’ve chosen the Deerpark as our location and Mark Godfrey has been very accommodating and extremely helpful. So far we’ve had over 70 business owners through...

Over a third of South West SME owners consider their own management team a barrier to growth

More than two in five (41%) business owners in the South West fear that their management team will cause them to hit a growth ceiling. Their concerns are legitimate - over half (57%) of local management teams have never helped grow a business prior to the one they now work in.

Business owners and the teams that support them have to work hard to put the planning and communication in place that can overcome the challenge of experience and unleash their businesses' growth potential.

Wasps 13 Exeter Chiefs 7

You have to go back some three years to note the last time Exeter Chiefs lost three Aviva Premiership fixtures on the bounce. However, Rob Baxter’s side have that statistic looming over their heads after they were undone 13-7 by play-off rivals Wasps at the Ricoh Arena.

Marcus Watson’s first half try - converted by Danny Cipriani - and two second half penalties from Jimmy Gopperth proved enough to down the defending champions in an attritional contest which was more for the purist than that of the masterpiece many had predicted pre-match.

The Chiefs, much improved from that...

A medal and certificate from the early 1900s awarded to an heroic sailor is to be auctioned by Chilcotts in their March sale.

Research into the award has thrown up some fascinating nuggets of maritime history, say the auctioneers.

Dating from 1910, the medal was presented by the Liverpool Shipwreck and Humane Society to one Charles MacIver for ‘most skilfully rescuing one of the crew of the yacht Cintra , knocked over board by the breaking of the mast at the Dartmouth Regatta on the 26th August 1910.’
