Another Successful #MicroBizMatters Day
Co-founders of #MicroBizMatters Tina Boden and Tony Robinson OBE are delighted by the support of the business community for the fourth annual social media extravaganza #MicroBizMatters Day (Friday 12 January 2018), an event that celebrates all of the valuable work that is achieved every day by micro businesses across the world.
Over the course of the day, over 50 business owners gave up their free time to provide their ‘survive and thrive’ tips for micro business owners through learning sessions broadcast live from the XYZ Work & Social Building in Manchester. Many are famous in their own right, including Chris Percival, Laura Bartlett, Kate Hardcastle, Penny Power OBE and for the fourth successive year, the founder of Pimlico Plumbers, Charlie Mullins OBE, who announced his intention to run for London Mayor in order to significantly benefit businesses and apprenticeships in the capital.
In addition to the advice given by this fantastic set of speakers, #MicroBizMatters Day also supports a number of initiatives that will help to fuel the growth of micro businesses. Co-founder Tina Boden gave an example with #Indie25ER. Tina said, “We encourage everyone to pledge to buy at least 25% of their goods and services from independently owned and run businesses. I manage 90% so 25% is certainly achievable by all.”
The two co-founders of #MicroBizMatters also hope to encourage all business-to-business customers and clients to promise to #PayIn30Days in order to help improve cash flow for the smallest of businesses. This campaign is especially directed towards larger organisations that are contracted by the Government.
