I'm delighted to announce a new strategic partnership between East Midlands Chamber (Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire) and Leicester College. This new collaboration brings the College and the Chamber together with business leaders and decision makers, to share insight with the East Midlands business community and help shape future policy, such as the skills agenda in Leicester and Leicestershire. The College will continue its partnership with Generation Next - Helping you thrive , the Chamber network that seeks to inspire future leaders and entrepreneurs in the East Midlands. Spread across three campuses in Leicester, the College boasts industry standard facilities and offers a wide range of courses ranging from entry level to level 6, T levels and higher technical qualifications. Equipping students with the skills and qualifications to drive progress forward in workplaces in the years ahead is essential to economic growth. With our latest Quarterly Economic Survey having highlighted the importance to employers of finding skilled candidates to fill vacancies, it’s more important than ever to engage educators and businesses, and to lobby policymakers for the best local skills agenda for Leicester and Leicestershire. I'm delighted to be working with Shabir Ismaill and the wider College team going forward. The full story can be found at https://lnkd.in/eidia98E.

Fascinating and exciting to see the UK’s Lloyds Banking Group speaking out about its decision not to appoint a traditional creative agency following “updates” to its agency model. Launching its new work, the financial services group says it will work with agency partners as needed to become more agile, mission-first and customer-centric, and that it sees future agency-client collaboration about expert teams delivering campaigns free of any single definitions of create, media or experience. As the industry undergoes major tech-led transformation, clients’ needs will inevitably evolve. The challenge for agency partners is to be adaptable and willing collaborators who work to support clients and produce effective work, even as our own businesses undergo irrevocable change.

Losers talk about FOMO. You know who gets on with it? And doesn't miss out? Winners. Entrepreneurs. Successful British businesses. Franchising has come a long way in the UK. We have many well-established and well-respected brands on the high street. McDonald's is a prime example. Franchises regularly and competently serve millions of satisfied customers. Franchising is a marriage of the skills, work ethic and ambition of the franchisee with the system, tools and structure of the franchisor. Ambition is allowed to thrive with the support of an established business model. The franchise industry is worth more than £17 bn per annum. It employs more people than the UK armed forces combined. Yet franchising could be even more successful, employ more people, and help establish even more businesses. UK franchising accounts for c. 9%-10% of retail sales. It's 45%-50% in the US! My main frustrations within the world of franchising are: - The lack of focus from university and college business and management departments (except for Lancaster University Management School). - The lack of acknowledgement by the government of the value of franchising. - The lack of self-promotion from within the franchise community. The past decade has seen enormous innovation. Probably more change in the last 10 years than in the previous 100. Unfortunately, what has not changed is the lack of government and academic involvement in promoting franchising. Lancaster University is a notable exception. And we need more universities like this. More outside-the-box thinking. And new ways to demonstrate how franchising can create successful businesses. We need to do more to help educate and remove the fear. To ensure scores of potential business owners don't miss out.
