KEY TAKEAWAYS
- In the UK alone there are 5.7m SMEs, and they contribute £2 trillion pounds to the UK economy. They impact every part of our lives, from community to economy.
- The impact that companies can have upon teams, organisations, society, economies and communities is significant. Encouraging them to scale makes us all stronger.
- Limited markets are inbuilt to desire scale. Companies scaling and starting in places such as Ireland automatically consider export as that is where success ultimately resides.
- Purpose and vision are critically important for true scale. If you don't know where you're going, then how can anyone be attracted to your future?
