Maybe you have too much of one kind of business and you need some diversity of businesses in your mix. Small-scale manufacturing can help with all of that. Here's a quick video about how. https://lnkd.in/gsVmj2U

Surprise . . . not! The rush of Lower Merion Township to accommodate demand for local courts on which to play the fastest growing sport in the United States – #pickleball – has stirred organized neighborhood opposition to the proposed construction of four dedicated pickleball courts in Ashbridge Park, which is nestled in a leafy area between Rosemont College and Bryn Mawr College, per reporting of Jesse Bunch in The Philadelphia Inquirer.

15 years ago today, I walked into CloserStill Media for my first day with the business (don’t get excited, it’s not my last day just yet).
That CloserStill office at that stage was part of a converted pig farm. There was about 10 employees in a fledgling business, and I had just left my perfectly stable job in the tech market to risk it in events. In the past 15 years, CloserStill has grown from about 10 people to approximately 700, with offices all over the world (none in a pig farm as far as I'm aware). We've gone from about three exhibitions to 120 worldwide and won a stack of awards in the process.
A massive part of my working life has been for CloserStill, and I'm very proud of what we have achieved over the years. I believe we have stuck to many of CloserStill’s founding principles and we as a business have developed a shared belief into core values that for most of us have made CloserStill a great place to work.
It's really interesting looking at the people around the business and thinking about those who have been and gone during that time. Whenever there is an industry event you can see the amount of massively successful people who have had CloserStill as part of their history. I’ll be honest...it doesn't suit everyone, but I am grateful for what the business has done for me, and very proud of the part CloserStill has played for others. So cheers to CloserStillians everywhere – past, present and future. You’ve made it a great innings for me so far and there’s plenty more action to come.
