INSIGHTS
Musings on the industry and beyond…
Hitting the Mark
When Jamie Gray Goncalves asked me to be part of his power brunch panel I was a little wary, as well as flattered.
One of my favourite days
The APSCo Awards for Excellence awards ceremony is always a brilliant occasion.
An Exit is an Open Door
Loved speaking at the Entrepreneurs & The Economy panel in Manchester on a business issue critical to many leaders.
A Door Closes, Another Opens
Pleased to announce the sale of Queen’s Court in Manchester, a building at the centre of my life for almost two decades.
Career Intelligence
There's a scene in Back to the Future where Marty McFly arrives in 1955 and watches his father make exactly the same mistakes he'll still be making thirty years later.
Milestone First Hire
Milestone moment at MJS Partnership 🎉
Delighted to welcome Kiera Walker to the business - our first official employee!
Spring - and Ideas - in the Air
I’m convinced there’s something about Spring sunshine that generates ideas and opportunities.
Defining Growth: It Matters
Recognise this?
Hard-working leadership team. Headcount up. Revenue moving in the right direction. And yet something is sluggish.
Value Destruction
Value creation.
It’s what Jim Ratcliffe is expert in.
His record in building Ineos into a global petrochemical business cannot be denied.
Client Win: Talentloop
Proud and delighted to announce a new client for MJS Partnership.
We’ve been brought in to advise Talentloop, an exciting and fast-growing business, as it enters the next stage of its growth strategy.
The Apprentice. Who Cares?
The Apprentice is back for series 20. And is it just me but I'm utterly indifferent…
Job-Hugging…is it the full picture?
I came across a phrase recenty that stopped me in my tracks: “job-hugging.”
People staying put because moving feels too risky.
The Evolution of Business-Building
I’ve been reading recently about business growth: partly through curiosity, partly because I enjoy connecting ideas back to my own experience building, scaling, and selling a company.
