A new owner for Gatwick will bring real business benefits to the Gatwick Diamond. But it also opens the door for more argument & debate. I think I know what business thinks.

As you will know, we have been pressing for local taxes to be spent locally as it is ridiculous to see so much of our Business Rates spent elsewhere in the country. About £300m is collected from businesses in the Gatwick Diamond with around 9% (£27m) returned to this area. As far as I can tell, the rest is used to prop up the poorly performing regions in the rest of the country. At a recent meeting with Jonathan Shaw, Minister for the South East, we urged him to look at spending money on the South East’s infrastructure as a priority, before it becomes a necessity. I don’t hold out much hope.

I started the day with my comfortable marketing hat on as I read through an academic proposal that is going to a large corporate for a new venture we are assisting them with. Then, I spent time with our IT team plugging in cables and testing to make sure our plasma screen and wi-fi are all set for audio/video on Friday’s Shell STEP regional final presentations. I uploaded and tested 15 presentations and the Shell STEP projects this year are looking fantastic as always.

Business is the new Rock and Roll. The extraordinary popularity of shows like The Apprentice and Dragons’ Den demonstrates the huge interest in entrepreneurship and commerce. But shows like this revel in offering a high-octane view of business that is combative, competitive and cruel. But that’s not necessarily an accurate picture. Most businesses are quiet successes run by ordinary folk working really hard.

One of the key problems that the current downturn has created is that, in the good years, many of us were looking for new and interesting ways to make money. With healthy order books and a strong feeling of optimism, there was a feeling that any business could do anything, whether it related to the original business or not.

Attended a great support meeting at the Innovation Centre – “Marketing Anarchy”. It was one of SInC’s peer-to-peer sessions where companies can share experience (both good and bad). A great way for new entrepreneurs to try out ideas and increase their confidence.

Over the past few years I have been to a number of meetings with representatives of the Bank of England and members of the Monetary Policy Committee. I have also been invited to attend other events where the Bank have spoken on the current economic situation.
