July Newsletter 2020

As we are finally back on the path to normality, I’m sure we are all wondering what the upcoming weeks will have in store for us. June really seemed to be the month of change, and the month which set the ball rolling for the ‘new normal’ that everyone keeps talking about. We saw the start of the changes in restrictions, allowing us to see more of our friends and family and now as we reach July the Governments focus has started to shift to the re-opening of businesses.

Although a positive step to recovery, for many businesses (those that have been fortunate enough to have the go ahead to reopen) they face many changes. With change comes uncertainty…where to go next? What to focus efforts on? How to adapt accordingly but still see success?

With this in mind, we continue to focus our blog writing efforts on providing valuable advice that might just help along the way.

Marathon Month Challenge

Helping to fund life-saving research for a charity close to my heart

I’m up for the challenge!

This is the month I’m going to run 26.2 miles to raise money for cancer (bearing in mind, I have never even done a 5k run, so this will absolutely be a challenge).

Triggered by a clients story, and two individuals I care a lot about – I want to support them in any way that I can.

Have a read of my story here, and please show your support if you can donate a little something! it all helps…

…PLUS if I don’t achieve this goal of 26.2 miles, I’m going to match whatever is in the pot and donate anyway! So all the more reason to put the pressure on and give me the motivation I need!

As always, I’m here to help.
