2016 continues to be an eventful year for the UK economy and the millions of businesses that operate on our shores. Steady growth out of a double-dip recession seems a very long time ago following the country’s decision to leave the EU and speculation on the timing and impact of finalising the divorce.
Uncertainty throughout the typically-overcast British summer has led to interest rates, GDP (Gross Domestic Product), and PMI (Purchasing Manager's Index) figures being slashed to record levels. To date, Sterling has dropped 16% against the euro since the UK's Brexit vote.
Despite the disruption caused by such macro environmental factors, there are still opportunities for businesses to drive new business growth; these opportunities, together with insights into what business leaders can do to capitalise on them, are outlined in our new report 7 steps to driving growth with sales & marketing.
