Helen says it’s great owning a business and working for yourself, but what is most satisfying to her is knowing that when she comes into the office each day she will be met with the same highly professional, happy and content people that she’s been seeing for a number of years. Staff devotion, stability and their unrivalled expertise means everything to her. “I’ve surrounded myself with good people, a loyal readership and a ‘Rolls Royce’ class of supporters and clients that make up our business events industry. We love what we do and do what we love.”
