✨ Multi-Award Winning Business Owner ✨ Founder & CEO - Delivering a High Standard of Safety Training 💥 An advocate for Women In Construction! 💥
🎈 ONE WHOLE YEAR AGO! 🎈 I've been thinking about it all week - and spoken lots about it too - and then when it actually comes to the day... I nearly forgot! One year ago... I took control back of my business. 💥🎉 The business I'd started in my garden shed (summer house sounds much more glamorous - but it was definitely just a shed!). The business I'd wanted to create to prove that you could deliver high quality #healthandsafety #training without it being boring. The business I'd wanted to create to stop #cowboys in the industry get away with delivering training they weren't occupationally competent to deliver. The business I wanted to create so that clients knew there was a provider they could turn to and trust for their training. When you create a business, you have a vision. That vision for me, required a shareholder (I couldn't do it alone). That partnership lasted 6 years. Unfortunately, the partnership wasn't ideal and became damaging to the business (it lost it's focus and I too lost a huge amount of confidence and self-belief). That's when I decided I NEEDED to #buyout my (majority) shareholder, for the sake of my business. It was a tough few months - but I did it 🙌🏽 These past 12 months have been great - I'm back in the driving seat, we have a really focused and dedicated #team and our retention rates are at an all-time high. Yes, the industry is pretty unsteady at the moment - but we will continue to support our clients the best we can and continue to deliver first class training #nationwide. We have a lot to look forward to over the next 12 months and I can't wait to see where we are this time next year! The journey can be a slog, but for those #businesspeople and #entrepreneurs that have a vision - keep at it and don't lose sight! ❤
