Always look on the bright side of life
DECEMBER 22ND, 2011 By DOMINIC
As Louie Spence gesticulated wildly and shouted Oh No He Isnt and the baying crowd of five year olds retorted Oh Yes He Is and with the odd He’s Behind You thrown in for good panto measure, this was a world away from the woes of the global economy.
However desperate times may be, there was no sign of fiscal troubles in this packed to the rafters Manchester theatre, which I suspect will be a sell out throughout this season’s run of Cinderella.
Embracing the magic of Christmas, especially when you have children is priceless, we’ve even had a timely dusting of snow in recent days for traditional effect, but for me it’s these golden moments that put the worries of the year behind me and make me focus on what we have.
Yes, it’s been a tough year economically but as a business we’ve survived to continue to give our clients the best service we possibly can. This year has been about wealth protection, minimising losses and making quick gains when the market allows and I’m proud that we’ve successfully protected our clients from the unpredictable nature of the markets.
Many friends and peers either own their business or hold senior positions within organisations and the topic of conversation is punctuated with the word tough. There is absolutely no doubt that we are feeling the pinch both personally and professionally but equally I think the time has come to see the positives and feel proud if you’re still in a job or keeping a business afloat.
Looking on the bright side, as a business, we’ve had a good year. We’ve continued to retain all of our clients while steadily acquiring new ones; we’ve done tremendously well in terms of wealth protection and have also made some nifty gains for our clients during opportune times.
Highlights have included the bespoke commercial deal we packaged and delivered in conjunction with 53N, sponsorship of The Manchester Contemporary VIP Collector Programme and of course the proud moment Adam achieved chartered status.
Are these tough times behind us? Oh no they’re not, but if you’re lacking Christmas cheer, take your kids to the panto and at the very least enjoy a couple of hours of escapist nonsense.
