Why a small business needs strong values - With Toby Bridges & Jessica Williams

Family, Ambition Curiosity & Innovation - Those are the values which run though North East tech company NBT, led by Executive Chairman Toby Bridges. NBT is a family business dating back to 1908 and some good old family values run through the company ethos. Toby explains why you should put trust in your team to make some big calls, and why there is no such thing as a stupid question. Also joining us in this episode is Jessica Williams, founder and MD of JustWilliams, a sales and marketing agency based on Teesside. She has recently launched a new sales academy to help bring more professionalism to selling, and together with Toby she sits on a number of boards involved with small business in the region. And we learn about how small business owners can find those all important ways to grow and get help to move their enterprise on, and why simply meeting people can transform your future.
