One element of running my own business that I love is the flexibility of where I choose to work. I have a home office, sometimes I work in my kitchen or (in the summer) in the garden. Before the Covid-19 pandemic, I would often join other local business owners to work together in a local café. Many of you are now experiencing “working from home” for the first time and may well be seeing it as a permanent part of your working life, going forward. Does this worry you? Are you already feeling a bit lonely or desperate to get out. I’m hearing stories of homeworking improving mental health and productivity, so all those firms who previously told staff they couldn’t work from home - as they needed to monitor what everyone was up to – are now eating their words. Of course, it’s not all great. Not everyone has an ideal home environment to set up a homeworking space and many find it too quiet and isolating.

When you design products do you think about it from the perspective of your customers? It's not just a regulatory requirement but it's also a commercial necessity. If you understand your customers then it's easier to find them, connect to them and provide them with a service that delights...

Your wedding day is often said to be the happiest day of your life. Well it's been a struggle for engaged couples wanting to get married this year. There are around 250,000 weddings in the UK each year (according to the Office of National Statistics) and most of those are during the summer...

Do you ever wonder why good conduct matters? It's not just about regulation. It's something I look at in my elearning courses and so I thought it was worth sharing my thoughts. ReputationSo much is shared on the internet. If people are unhappy, they talk about it on Twitter and post bad reviews....

Does this look like a familiar letter to you? Sadly, many travel insurers will have received these letters. Creating even more work and unhappy customers. Dear [undisclosed insurer], I have tried to contact you on numerous occasions, to try and make a claim on my insurance. I was due to go and...

Many of my friends working in insurance are having conversations with their employers about when they will be returning to their offices. Most aren't in a hurry to get back to the daily grind of a 2 hour commute and a rushed sandwich at the desk lunch hour. Returning home to dinner and then...

Did you know there are millions of people in the UK who are vulnerable? Between March 2018 and April 2019 the Trussell Trust gave out more than 1.6million emergency food parcels. This was a 19% increase on the previous year and over half a million of those went to children. Does...
