Mercator Business Briefing

The first Mercator Business Briefing of 2010 took place on the evening of 2nd February.

“Getting the best out of people” - David Knowles-Leak of DKL discussed how people can be a company’s best and yet most expensive asset and emphasised how effective performance stems from strategic clarity.

“Your people are your brand” - Phil Strachan of Strangebrew described how a company’s people represent a vital and highly visible touchpoint for the business and how they can make the difference between a good or bad brand experience.

The Briefing was attended by several business owners from the Bucks and Thames Valley area, all of whom stayed for a lively discussion following the presentations.
