Getting Business Going In the UK

GuyKat Managing director Guy McEvoy was a guest at an event hosted by Goldman Sachs in London. Also present were entrepreneurs such as Sir Charles Dunstone (Carphone Warehouse and TalkTalk), Gerry Ford (Cafe Nero), Julian Metcalfe (founder of Pret A Manger and Itsu) and about 300 other leaders of small businesses who have received support from the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Business Programme.

Much of the day’s discussion focussed on the economic outlook for the UK in the near-to-mid term. The Global CEO of Goldman Sachs Lloyd Blankfein comments at the event were picked up by much of the media.

Opinion remains split between optimists and pessimists on the UK’s prospects.  However, everyone seemed to agree that it will be growing SMEs that eventually kick-start the economy. GuyKat are proud to consider themselves of one these growing businesses, and proud to help our peers achieve the same through developing their people and lowering their training costs.
