So the daffodils are in bloom, there’s been some sunshine, and we should have over-indulged on our Easter eggs! Well, I hope you over-indulge in our new issue. We have plenty of new stories and advice from entrepreneurial experts to help put a spring in your step…
I recently met for a one to one interview with leading entrepreneur and BBC’s Online Dragon, Julie Meyer. With over 20 years investment and advisory experience helping start-up businesses, she is the founder and CEO of Ariadne Capital, founder of Entrepreneur Country, and co-founder of First Tuesday. Through her intertwining roles of entrepreneur, advisor, investor and industry commentator, Julie tells me how she has set her mission to build a growth story for the UK and Europe. Read about how she plans to get there on pages 22 - 24.
I have great pleasure in welcoming Halliwells on board as our new legal experts to lead our regular ASK feature. They are on hand to answer your questions! This issue, Steve and Khurshid explain how virtually every part of your business is impacted upon in some way by Intellectual Property Law, on page 10.
Manchester-based Staying Cool - the city’s original hip independent serviced apartment operator - was declared the cream of the Heart of England’s tourism industry crop when it won at the official regional awards for its Apart Hotel at Rotunda in Birmingham. So, WorkLife checked it out on pages 16 - 17.
I hope you enjoy this issue and in particular, I want to give my special thanks to our LIFE guest editor, Natalie Gray. Natalie is director of the very successful company, NoChintz. Flip the magazine over as Natalie brings you a creative collaboration in our ‘Ménage a Trois’ fashion story.
