It’s that time of year, when Business Link Magazine invites the region’s business leaders to offer up their predictions for the year ahead.
It has become something of a tradition, given that we’ve been doing this now for over 30 years.
Here we speak to Jennie Holland, Managing Director at Jennie Holland PR.
Putting to one side the current economic challenges, I want to focus my 2023 predictions on that of the business owner.
Everyone I speak to is incredibly busy and has been for what feels like a long time, and while we don’t know what the future holds in Q1, Q2 and beyond in 2023, I think we have a good idea of what might be to come.
However, it’s not all doom and gloom, there is so much good that we take for granted. Business owners, and the teams that they lead, are accustomed to change, to adapting, to being agile – we learnt all about that during the global pandemic and some of those changes we made at that time continue to play their part in businesses.
I predict that business owners will face what’s to come head-on and with a can do, carry on regardless attitude, because that’s what they do and have done before. They will keep their focus on their business strategies and goals and always with a positive mindset.
So, whatever the economic weather in 2023, I know that with business owners at the helm of our East Midlands economy, we are in the strongest position we can be.
