| On my way to open a conference on Growth Vouchers - to design and deliver them - which I hope before long will help small firms grow faster. |
| |
| |
| on average one startup in three employs someone in the first few weeks |
| |
| |
| There are up to 300 new businesses a week under StartUp Loans and for every 3 4 are employed. This is the way ahead for many - come join us |
| |
| |
| You are quite right but the first part of my report last year dealt with startups - this year with growing businesses. |
| |
| |
| Read my report "Growing your Business" out tomorrow on Kindle etc to help grow your business. Now is a great time to get going. |
| |
| |
| I said in my Small Firms Report a recession is a good time to start a business, thats all. The rest is crude political smear |
| |
| |
| I will offer a prize of a bottle of champagne to the first person who spots me in jeans. |

| decent people don't follow him. |
| |
| |
| When Margaret Thatcher came to power she introduced Privatisation to the world: within a decade it was universal (perhaps not N Korea) |
| |
| |
| to be forthright on what you believe. She ended an age of compromise and changed the world in many ways@@ |
| |
| |
| Very sad to learn of the death of Margaret. She changed my life but all our lives. I doubt we will see her like again |
| |
| |
| if I were Duane I might not sleep easy tonight. He took over a week off! |
| |
| |
| I am afraid that I have been hacked - I only wish that I did know how to diet! My apologies to all. |
