Happy 1st MBO anniversary to River Capital equity portfolio business Barons Contract Furniture - can’t believe it’s been a year already!! It's been great to work with all the team at Baron's, including Managing Director Garry Smith and Chair Gary Lasham. As outlined in the post below, there’s been a massive amount achieved in what is a relatively short period, and the future looks equally exciting as the business continues to deliver on its growth opportunities. And you? Are you like Garry, an MD in a North West based SME business you wish to acquire? Or do you own an SME and are considering your exit plans which may potentially include passing the business on to your management team? Always happy to talk and see if we can help .... #fuellingambition #MBO #investment #growth #equity

Finishing off the 5 day working week with the next Value in our StriVe Strategy.. and perhaps one of the most integral 😉 INTEGRITY Who amongst us does the right thing when no one is watching? 🫣 It's certainly a big question to ask ourselves and particularly when we dive into all areas of working and home life. Some of the qualities we associate with lived integrity here at St Vincents include: ⭐️ advocating for the teams best interest ⭐️ being consistent ⭐️ supporting St Vincents Lismore's values without expecting recognition ⭐️ having a strong work ethic ⭐️ honesty and diligence ⭐️ owning mistakes and being accountable ⭐️ self awareness and discretion Integrity is being honest with true moral principals and living these consistently and to the best of our ability. Integrity is a foundational value for our team at St Vincent's Lismore. #integrity #stvincentslismore

The Two-Second Decision that Defined His Career 🌞 *Courtesies* Matthews, a smart Sales Manager, on a Sunday evening, was in the parking lot of a big shopping mall. The parking lot was packed. Cars were crawling with anxious drivers hunting for that one vacant slot to park. Matthew's, sharp and aggressive as he was, spotted a vacant space ahead and quickly zoomed in. But, he could also see that another car had reached that spot before him and the old man at the wheel was struggling to reverse his car into the same slot. Matthews beat the old man to it. Matthews felt jubilant - as we all sometimes do with life's little victories. The old man in the other car was very disappointed. He looked Matthews in the eye, but continued to search for another parking slot. Two days later, Matthews was preparing for one of the biggest moments of his career. He was close to winning a big contract for his company. And all that was left now was the formal handshake meeting with the client's CEO. As Mathews walked into the client's office with full confidence and offered his handshake to the CEO, he felt a sudden sense of discomfort. The CEO was the same man from whom he had snatched the parking slot on Sunday. Worse still, the Old man immediately recognized him. And you can guess what happened thereafter... Alas... if only Matthews had been polite enough to consider offering that Old Man the parking slot. The world is divided into two types of people: Those who push open a door, walk through and let it slam behind them. That's the 99% of the population. And there's the 1% who hold it open to allow the trailing person behind to walk through... Learn to do that, and you too could join the select exclusive 1% Super CEO Club in the world .... Winning in life is less about self ambition and more about helping other people win.... Someone once said, "It's nice to be important. But it's more important to be nice"... Make a beginning today.... Have a great day 😊🙏 #Karma #Kindness #Consideration #Longterm #consequences #Small #decisions #Big #impact #Courtesy #Respect #Success #principles

Next up for the Employee Spotlight is Stuart Wymant. How long have you worked at Walpole Partnership? I joined Walpole in February 2019, so early next year I will be celebrating 5 years. What’s your role at Walpole Partnership? My core role is heading up customer success, however I also run our company objectives and continual improvement programmes, develop all brand assets and oversee our EPM business. What did you want to be when you were growing up? An artist, but despite having good technical ability I never really had the creativity for it. What do you consider to be your greatest achievement? An achievement I share with my fiancée, Lisa, is our IVF miracle daughter Layla Rose who recently turned 2 years old, proving that persistence does in fact pay off! What can you be found doing in your spare time? Seeing family, enjoying great food and drink, watching sport and playing golf whenever I get the chance. What one skill would you love to have or learn to do? A good golf short game - those who have played with me will all know... If you could time travel, where would you go? Next weekend and back again, giving me just enough time to capture all the weekend's sporting results and then return to place a large accumulator bet (a basic variation on Biff's plan in Back To The Future). What one thing really annoys you? Arrogance. What is your favourite film of all time? It's tough to choose one, but Wolf Of Wall Street is definitely up there, alongside many Christopher Nolan films. If I had been asked that question in my early teenage years it would have definitely been Rocky IV. Sweet or savoury? Savoury…I'm a starter and main guy with my desert more likely to be another pint.

One member of the #Colchester team who has gone 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗿𝗮 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗲 ✨ is Lasma Pinkus-Pinke, one of our delivery and line-fill drivers, who joined us 18 months ago!
