Heard the beginnings of this story a week or so ago when the lady in question was trying to raise the finance to open up again.
When the opening was announced today on the radio it made me beam.
This is a fantastic example of British entrepreneurial spirit, and hopefully is the first of many examples to follow. The sight of an optimistic business woman creating employment and wealth by taking part of a company that was mismanaged , probably by grossly over paid ridiculously bonus laden executives, and making it a viable business again. How is she doing it? Simple she is simply going to pay only the people that contribute something to the company, a fair wage for their efforts. Then she is going to sell products that people actually want at a fair price and the difference between what she pays for the thing and what she sells them for - less her overheads will be known as profit!
Its an old fashioned approach to business, and frankly she may have to explain it to her bank as they wont understand now that they mostly operate using 'invented money' as opposed to actual money. However I think in the fullness of time, they will come to appreciate her model.
Anyway enough flippant negative bank comments, how wonderful to see the trend bucked by someone with some gumption. I believe if we spent as much time talking up stories like this as we have publicising our impending demise then we can make this media recession a lot shorter for the real working people and maybe only the mega rich leeches will suffer the most in the long term. I live in hope anyway - its a nice idea.
Cue the pessimists...................
