New Episode alert: the latest Material Matters with Grant Gibson podcast features Adam Yeats - Co-founder and MD of leading UK lighting company Bert Frank. Yeats started the brand with designer Robbie Llewellyn in 2013. Since then, it has gone from strength to strength, with a showroom opening in London’s Clerkenwell in 2019, exhibiting at home and abroad, and winning the Elle Decoration British Design Award for Lighting in 2016. The company was also the headline sponsor for last September's Material Matters fair.   Craft and material selection have always been intrinsic to Bert Frank, and Yeats comes from a family steeped in making and British manufacturing. So, what’s it like to be an ambitious manufacturing company in post-Brexit Britain? In this episode, Grant and Adam talk about him growing up in his father’s factory, why he lives next door to his workshop, the importance of craft and skill to the company’s products, working with brass, learning his trade - from sweeping the factory floor to running the business. Much of the focus is on how Bert Frank was established and has evolved over the past decade, including how Adam's company rode waves of economic shock, the economic consequences of Brexit and starting a new assembly facility in Belgium. It also touches on the importance of immigration to his workforce and the state of manufacturing in the UK and reveals why Adam always wanted to be a marine biologist. #materialmatters #materialmatterspodcast #designpodcast #design #podcast #UKManufacturing #materialintelligence #MM24 #MM2024 #materialmatters2024

Trends in Local Real Estate

I’ve been reflecting on Headlam Group plc position in the market and their strategy after listening to Chris Payne on The UK Flooring Podcast 🎙️ It’s fascinating to see how a company with a turnover of £660 million and a nationwide footprint has embraced transformation at such a scale. There's no getting away from the fact that the flooring industry is archaic in many ways, and to challenge and then change this whilst you're the biggest distributor in the sector, is brave and admirable (some would say needed!). Their two-year plan to simplify and strengthen the business has received scrutiny, but the logic behind the move is undeniable! By consolidating 32 companies into one unified operation (Mercado), streamlining their network, and investing in both digital and operational capabilities, I think Headlam is setting itself up to be a truly formidable player. Their ability to offer next-day delivery and support through 76+ trade counters gives them unrivalled reach across the UK. They've received so much stick, and being honest, there have been times I haven't been totally clear of their plan of attack... but now I am! In my opinion, this is a blueprint for how companies can adapt to tough markets while preparing for future opportunities. As the market looks to recover in 2025, I think Headlam’s approach positions them perfectly to lead and grow. What do you think of Headlam’s strategy and the changes they’ve made?

So much of selling is about the experience—both for you and your customer. When you schedule a meeting, you are in the driver's seat of that experience. The customer agreed to talk with you because you offer value to them, and they want to learn more about it. And if you don't know what's going on in your customer's industry, it's time to hit the pause button and do a little digging. Your research will go a long way in creating an experience that's worthwhile for them and help you build a positive relationship. A while back, I talked about how Iceberg Selling will guide you both into a positive experience on SalesLoop's "How to Sell More" podcast.
