It wasn’t long ago that companies required employees to retire at 65, but this trend is declining as the population ages, myths about cognitive function are being overturned and recognition grows about the contribution brought by older workers. There’s little reason for CEOs, Senior Managers or other employees to stop working in their ‘60s, ‘70s […]
Running a successful company takes a lot of work. There are so many different factors that must perfectly coalesce to create a compelling brand or product that consumers want to purchase, and many executives recognise that the multitude of perfectly converging factors that form a winning company could almost feel like luck if they didn’t […]
In an ideal world, the boardroom should be a place where the brightest and best minds from across an organisation come together to exchange ideas, solve problems and ultimately drive the business forward.

The current global economic environment is tumultuous, to put it mildly. The pound has fallen among growing Brexit uncertainty, which is impacting British business, in particular the automotive industry.
