March 2009
Word from the
top
We are almost at
the end of Q1 for 2009 and for many of our clients these have
definitely been the toughest few trading months for
decades.
Yet if the figures are anything to go
by, you are surviving the storm with leaner, more efficient operations and looking positive about your future prospects.
If this was
a normal year we'd be telling you all about the Budget in this
edition. But it's far from business as usual out there and
the Budget won't be happening until 22nd April.
So, instead, we are
using this month's Livewire to give you some key tips for financing growth, motivating employees and avoiding the wrath of the VAT man!.
As ever don't hesitate to get in touch if you'd like to discuss any of these issues in person.
Please contact Lesley Stalker, Simon Paterson or Paul Webb on 0870 2255220 for more information.
