And it isn’t as scary as it sounds\, because it’s normally over a cuppa! But by really delving into the areas where businesses need help and support\, I’m able to find the solutions that work for them – ones that match with their goals\, visions\, and values. \nAs well as being a Business Support Adviser\, I’m also part of the North East Growth Hub’s Made Smarter programme; helping manufacturers increase profits and grow by investing in digital technology. So I’m well placed to advise people – whatever sector they’re in – on digitisation: from large-scale equipment through to software and CRM systems. \nDisclaimer \nAll information used in this presentation you are registering for is produced for information purposes only and is for the sole use of the attendees at the \npresentation. \nWhilst we feel this topic is beneficial to business owners\, the views expressed are not intended to be and should not be viewed as individual advice or as a recommendation by Royal Bank of Scotland\, NatWest\, Ulster Bank\, or any third party.
