Enjoy!

Your business

What were the highlights for your business in 2015?

Growing over 500%

Looking back, is there anything you would have done differently this year?

Realising earlier that as a business owner I couldn’t do everything myself, and having a network of trusted business advisors, which I now have, is the best investment I could have made within my business.

Is there anything we should watch out for your company doing next year?

We are bringing some new innovative talent solutions to market - more ways for North East companies to recruit and retain talent more intelligently.

Your favourites

Have any other North East companies impressed you this year, if so - why?

All of our clients! Our solution is new & creative, and offers a different way of thinking to traditional talent solutions like recruitment agencies, and that can be difficult for some businesses to understand.

All of our clients run ambitious, high growth businesses who consistently look at doing things more efficiently, and they really jumped on board with our solution.

When business life gets on top of you, what do you do to destress?

Travelling to exotic destinations or spending time with my 18 month old godson who always puts a smile on my face!

Have any social media accounts caught your eye this year, any favourite pages or people to follow?

Bdaily of course!! And because of what we do @lifeagoogle always piques our interest!

The what ifs

If you could do any job in the world what would it be?

Hawaii or New York

If you could go back in time, which piece of advice would you give your younger self?

Trust your gut instinct, it has never served me wrong - either personally or in business.

What would be the perfect Christmas gift for you?

A plane ticket!!

Thanks Laura, best wishes from the Bdaily team.
