This engaging insight is suitable for anyone who wishes to protect what they or their parents have worked so hard for all their lives.

After a varied business and commercial career and more recently several years with Coop Legal Services, Haworth started his own legal services practice “Egg and Nest” in 2018 to help people from all walks of life protect their home and savings, plan for incapacity and gain peace of mind through effective estate planning and related services.

Making an impact with a small marketing budge

Abby Abrames

How many marketing emails do you get stating;
“We’ll get you to page one of Google in one month”,
“Audit your website for guaranteed improved performance”,
“Grow your Facebook followers by 1000 this month”.
And it’s just £99. Are you tempted? Could it be that easy?

Building your brand is not achieved in a month, a huge increase in online performance in such a short space of time requires resource, effort and large amounts of money! Don’t be put off, there is so much you can do that will make a difference and it doesn’t need to be complicated and it doesn’t need to include every social media platform and every trending hashtag either. If your marketing doesn't make sense to you; do you think it will to your customers?
Marketing is communication between you and your customers, understanding how and where to do this isn’t down to an algorithm, it starts with your knowledge, your business and your marketplace. You can easily take control of your marketing and create a plan with confidence. Get the key do’s and don’ts with Valley Marketing in this seminar.

The Freedom Workshop - Creating a valuable company that can thrive without you.

Tristan Firth

Everyone has their own reasons for starting and running a business, but for most people there are three motivating factors high on the list:
• The freedom to do things your way,
• To work with who you want, when you want, and
• Financial freedom

All too often though, the reality is different. The business is stressful to run, difficult to grow and all too dependent upon you as the owner. And, as a consequence of that, it’s not worth what it could be.
In this short talk, Tristan will outline why it pays to focus on creating a business that can thrive independently of its owner.
You will learn how to recognise when you are in “The Owner’s Trap”, how to escape it and why freedom comes with having a valuable, sellable business.
And, when you leave, you will know the eight key factors that drive your company’s value and what you need to consider to gain freedom over your time and money so you can get back to the reasons you started your business in the first place.Tristan is a highly qualified executive, a coach and a consultant specialising in creating value for business owners and their clients.
For more than 20 years, Tristan has been developing value propositions and increasing the value of businesses; identifying new markets and winning business worth in the order of £175million for new ventures and established organisations.
He has worked for a wide variety of organisations from start-ups to FTSE 250 companies and across a range of sectors including property, health, construction and business intelligence. Throughout his career he has taken a considered, pragmatic approach to satisfying customer needs and building valuable businesses. His ability to view problems from both the owner’s and customers’ perspectives and use of simple but highly effective tools has won him a reputation for delivering successful solutions and outstanding results.
In 2018, Tristan founded Rivelin Consulting, partly in response to a strong desire to help SME’s thrive, and partly in the knowledge that in many businesses, small changes can vastly improve their appeal and significantly enhance the value of the organisation.
Tristan is a Certified Value Builder.
