So what's new?
I'm sharing an image I shot on Sunday during my walk in the woods at Buckland in the Moor here at home in Devon. We're lucky to be surrounded by beautiful countryside which is perfect to exercise in giving us some respite during the lockdown. Hopefully, you find it as uplifting as our chilly walk was.
So to the week ahead - we have a great BBTV event on Wednesday with drinks brand supremo David Gluckman (see below). The next Great British Business Festival on March 31st and we are already booked up until May with a fantastic lineup of BBTV guests. So do check them out and book in to meet them.
Have a great week and if you need some encouragement or are facing a particular challenge do join our group on Guild and engage with us there, someone will be able to help you.

Business Breakfast with David Gluckman
Our Guest on Episode 25 of Business Breakfast TV is brand creator, author & speaker, David Gluckman.
"Corporate Cojones. How large corporations can innovate like tiny, agile start-ups. Because we did."
In his talk, David Gluckman takes a retro look at his 36-year brand development consultancy with a company that started life (for him) as IDV in 1969 and ended up as Diageo, the world’s largest drinks company.
His decades-long stint provided the opportunity to fail as well as to succeed; to understand how to manage brand development on a global scale; and how to find the most successful pathways for new ideas through an international organisation.
His talk demystifies a process that is often portrayed with ‘rocket science complexity’. He talks about practices that saved time and enormous amounts of money. And he offers a template that any large corporation can adopt.
His list of brands includes Baileys Irish Cream, Sheridan’s, Le Piat d’Or, The Singleton, Aqua Libra, Purdey’s, Smirnoff Black, Ciroc, and Tanqueray Ten.
His experiences are chronicled in his first book “That s*it will never sell!” published by Prideaux Press. It is an anecdotal history of the brands he helped create, winners, losers, and some that never even made it onto the drawing board. His book is available on Amazon or via his website.
Great British Business Festival
In 2020 the world pressed “RESET” and everything we ever knew about the way things were done was turned upside down overnight. The way we do business changed and with it the way we do expos, conferences, and networking.
That’s why we brought you the Great British Business Festival ONLINE in November 2020 and why we’re pleased to announce the Great British Business Festival taking place on Wednesday 31 March 2021
It’s an even bigger and better event, a jam-packed day with global and local, expert speakers, seminars, and workshops with an exhibition featuring the best in British business to help you grow and scale your business.
With the added benefit of a virtual setting on an innovative exhibition platform, the Great British Business Festival is a truly international affair enabling small business owners and entrepreneurs to connect right across the world
Whether you choose to join us to visit, exhibit, speak or sponsor you can be assured of connecting with the very Best of British Business at the Great British Business Festival.
