I had the pleasure of delivering a social media session for the Startup and Scale master class for the Warrington Chamber of Commerce & Industry It was great to catch up and listen to fellow speakers as there are always some golden nuggets to take away. A common thread that ran through a lot of the presentations was the power of planning and knowing your audience. This summer I have time scheduled into plan, but actually I should be scheduling time each month for this as well. #ThePowerofPlanning #BusinessScaleUp #BusinessSuccess

One year in at the Building Societies Association, and what a journey it’s been! In previous roles on the regulatory side, I spent most of my time dealing with people and systems that had failed. It was usually some of the worst examples that made it to my desk, and the focus was always on how to put things right after they had gone wrong. But here at the BSA, it’s a different story. I see the good our members are doing every day, the lives they’re changing for the better and the communities they are strengthening. If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the last 12 months, it’s that building societies, credit unions and co-operatives are the best-kept secret in UK financial services! Now I’m looking forward to what we’ll achieve over the next 12 months and beyond, sharing that best-kept secret, embracing the ambition to double the mutual and co-operative economy, and working together with the government and regulators to build an even more effective, resilient sector where our values shine through. #MutualEconomy #FutureOfMutuality

Nominations are now open for the South Yorkshire Dealmakers Awards 2024, which returns to Sheffield City Hall on 6 June. In the run up to the event, Insider chaired a roundtable with the region’s corporate finance community to discuss the market trends and outlook. “People are seeking value at the moment. It has generated more bilateral-type deals where an owner-manager has battled their way through Brexit, Covid, high inflation and everything else, and is looking for a route out. To be approached by a credible corporate is very attractive for them as they might get an extra multiple.” “Deals are taking longer but the appetite is certainly there; it’s about finding the right fit. The focus is on managing valuation expectations in order to try and find a solution.” Read the full roundtable coverage in the February issue of Yorkshire Business Insider: https://lnkd.in/eAZnJMTc You can nominate for the South Yorkshire Dealmakers Awards here: https://lnkd.in/evz-r5RD
