From small acorns mighty oak trees grow... likewise it is so that from small ideas we are able to create great opportunity.

In a very short time we have taken a seed of an idea and it has grown into a new and exciting marketing business.

The Roadshow offers us all the same opportunities to grow and prosper... throughout my 26 years of business I have been involved with a number of projects and companies but the Roadshow has become one of the most enjoyable.

For those interested, I have many hats... MD at R.K.Group of Companies, Vice-Chair at Dover Athletic FC, Governor at Whitfield & Aspen School, Editor of Whitfield News, Chairman of Whitfield Action Group... I am sure I have missed something but I feel it is important to be involved and help where you can.

The Roadshow will enable my companies to help promote and bring to market many other businesses and organisations.

My philosophy is 'work hard - play hard'.

Successful business is founded upon hard work, a good product and service as well as efficient financial housekeeping. Having worked in the financial world for various businesses over my 20 years accountancy it has become clear to me you also need that extra special ingredient.

I believe that the Local Business Roadshow will offer to many businesses and organisation the chance to receive a helping hand and deliver a marketing solution that financially makes perfect sense and adds that little extra something.

My philosophy is: If a job's worth doing, it's worth doing well.

First impressions are lasting impressions... I like to think that in my career I have made many good and lasting impressions. With our work on the Roadshow we have a marvellous opportunity to create marketing and advertising that with increase brand awareness and impress potential clients in all types of business sectors.

With over 36 years experience in graphics, design, print, signs and marketing I believe I can help to make the Roadshow a major force in today's ever changing business world.

Image is everything; if it looks good then people will be interested, if you can't be seen or your image is poor then the chances are they will walk on by.

My philosophy is: Treat all customers how you would like to be treated.

"Life is full of obstacles; it's how you get past them that is the important factor"

As we move forward in these ever changing times, it is imperative to look down every avenue in order to ensure business success, the Local Business Roadshow is a fantastic, innovative concept that gives local businesses the way to achieve this.
