Is it just us, or are things starting to improve out there? I’ve heard rumours that it’s a W shaped recession and to expect another dip, which is concerning – not only because of the huge influence the doom and gloom press has on the economy but because since the recession I’ve developed a habit of touching wood everywhere!

Either way we’re finding things are picking up in our business. Is it because there really are ‘green shoots’ or is that we’ve worked really hard on focusing on our core business and stopped faffing around on things that don’t add value? I think it could be a bit of both.

The recession for us has meant a long hard look at our costs and the way we work and we’re in the process of implementing some really lovely and exciting changes, utilising technology to help us work smarter and perform better for our clients. I’m actually left with the feeling that if (or when) the recession is really over (and not just by the 0.00001% growth we’re meant to be experiencing) we’ll be left working on a beautifully efficient, innovative and energised business. That’s really floating my boat.
