What's the biggest challenge facing your business over the next 12 months?

 Have you thought about this?  Here's what respondents to a recent survey by the Chartered Institute of Management (CIM) thought:

1. Rising cost of energy
2. Management skill shortages
3. Labour shortages
4. Road congestion
5. Extension of maternity/paternity leave

Will these issues affect your business?  Of course they will!! 

The rising cost of energy means that you want to take every advantage you can to reduce your monthly bills.  Have you carried out an energy review of your business yet?

Shortage of management skills is a serious threat to your business.  Fortunately, you're on the right website to help you do something about that!

Labour shortages aren't so easy to address.  Where will your seasonal staff come from this year?

Road congestion is starting to cost British business more and more each year.  Just getting to meetings is becoming harder, isn't it?

Changes in the rights of employees mean that the poor, beleaguered British business owner is put upon from all angles.  However the law is the law - how are you going to meet the challenge?
