Hello 2025

I’m officially back at work today. Thankfully at the desk as it’s frozen solid outside! I’ll be responding to enquiries and updating our website today. Our 2026 diary opens at midday tomorrow (8th Jan gmt)

I opened a business-sector newsletter earlier that said we’re in for a tough year because of increased NI contributions and the implementation of a living wage. And I thought HOW DISMAL?! What a world we live in to expect a recession because we’re going to pay people enough to live on and pay more towards the costs of our vital services.

I’ve had many heated discussions over the economy over the years and I’m not going to pick that fight today, but I firmly believe in the power of good business: caring for our people, our world, doing it all well. If by design we pay properly, make environmentally kind decisions and care then our world is all the better for it.

We thrive.

It would be transformative if business was measured in positive impact (rather than this good stuff being ‘performative’) wouldn’t it?!

So I’m doing more good business in 2025. No dismal here…

Happy. Healthy. Prosperous. 2025… Bring. It. On!

Love to all.
