Do you want to be a Radio Star?
19th March 2008 09:31
Have you ever wanted to increase your profile within the Coventry and Warwickshire business community? If so, you may be interested in a conversation I had recently with one of the BBC Coventry and Warwickshire breakfast show researchers when I went to visit them at the studio in Priory Place, Central Coventry.
It was a follow up to my “appearances” on the Bob Brolly show and the breakfast show with Liz Kershaw, talking about the threat of Administration that hung over Coventry City FC earlier this year.
I suggested that it might be helpful if the BBC put on a workshop for local business professionals and budding radio stars who wanted to put themselves forward as experts in their particular fields to be available at short notice to comment on topical issues as they arise.
The idea went down well and I would love to hear from anyone who would be interested in taking part.
On a separate issue, the feedback I am getting from accountants and bankers that I speak to, suggests that it is getting tougher for their clients and customers but at the moment, matters are being managed.
I think we are on a knife edge as to which way things are likely to go in the coming months. What is certain, however, is that it is going to require a lot more hands on management and assistance by professional advisers if we are not to see a significant increase in business failures in and around the Midland’s area. The gauntlet has been thrown down and it is for the professional advisers to respond – go to it!
