DORSET BUSINESS FOCUS / WELCOME

elcome to the 2nd edition of Dorset Business Focus, the news magazine for businesses across Dorset. I would like to say a very big thank you to everyone for their great feedback on the magazine. The response to our new publication has been incredible. I’d also like to say a huge thank you to our publishers, Pulford Publicity, as well as the businesses that are supporting the magazine through advertorial and content contributions. This year promises to be an exciting year for Dorset Chamber as we celebrate our 70th anniversary, originally launching as Poole Chamber of Trade following a coming together of Poole business people back in 1948. In November that year nearly 100 executives of Poole manufacturers unanimously voted to form a Chamber of Commerce. Throughout the following year, another 60 businesses had joined the Chamber. By 1951, the Chamber was actively involved in helping businesses export through the issuing of Certificates of Origin and to this day, export documentation and advice remains one of the core services we offer. In order to deliver this service, as Poole and District Chamber of Commerce, we gained our accreditation to the British Chambers of Commerce and were incorporated as a limited company in 1952. In 1981, Poole and District Chamber of Commerce, with 200 members and operating from shared offices with Bournemouth

Big Squeeze On Firms From Recruitment, Prices And Cash Flow The British Chambers of Commerce’s quarterly economic survey – the UK’s largest private sector survey of business sentiment and a leading indicator of UK GDP growth – finds that the UK economy ended 2018 stuck in a weak holding pattern, with stagnating levels of growth and business confidence as a result of heightened Brexit uncertainty and other economic pressures.
Key findings: • Percentage of services firms reporting an increase in domestic sales and orders drops to two year low • Recruitment difficulties in manufacturing joint highest on record, services sector recruitment difficulties hover near record-high • Price pressures rise further for businesses, particularly manufacturers
T
he results of the survey of 6,000 firms – employing over one million people across the UK – underline the impact that the current levels of uncertainty are having on a stalling economy as growth in domestic sales and orders reduced, recruitment difficulties stand near record highs and price pressures persist. In the services sector, a key driver of UK economic growth, the percentage of firms reporting an increase in domestic sales and orders weakened to their lowest level in two years. Domestic activity among UK manufacturers also moderated in the quarter. The findings highlight the extent to which labour shortages have risen in the UK as four-fifths (81%) of manufacturers that tried to recruit report difficulties in finding the right staff – the joint highest level since the survey began in 1989. In the services sector, the level (70%) hovers close to the record high recorded in the previous quarter (72%). The survey results indicate an increase in price pressures facing firms. The percentage of manufacturers expecting to raise prices is at its highest in a year and is almost three times higher than its pre-EU referendum average. Cashflow continues to be a concern for both sectors, with the balance of

firms reporting improved cash flow remaining weak. As Westminster prepares to return from recess, the leading business group is calling on all political parties to find a way forward and ensure that the UK does not face a messy and disorderly exit from the EU. Avoiding a chaotic Brexit would bolster business confidence and investment, and give businesses some much-need clarity on trading conditions in the near-term. Responding to the results, Dr Adam Marshall, Director General of the British Chambers of Commerce, said: “The UK economy is in stasis. While it’s not contracting, it’s not growing robustly either. Throughout much of 2018, UK businesses were subjected to a barrage of political noise and drama, so it’s no surprise to see firms report muted domestic demand and investment. In this new year, the government must demonstrate that it is ready to act to turbo-charge business confidence. “With little clarity on the trading conditions they’ll face in just two months’ time, companies are understandably holding back on spending and making big decisions about their futures. The government’s absolute priority now must be to provide clarity on conditions in the near term and avoid a messy and disorderly Brexit. Business communities won’t forgive politicians who allow this to happen, by default or otherwise. “Brexit is hoovering up all of government’s attention and resources, but it’s far from the only cause of uncertainty. Given the magnitude of the recruitment difficulties faced by firms clear across the UK, business concerns about the government’s recent blueprint for future immigration rules must be taken seriously – and companies must be able to access skills at all levels without heavy costs or bureaucracy.”

Attracting Talent Into Dorset Businesses - Tackling Affordable Housing And Infrastructure DORSET IS A COUNTY WITH TREMENDOUS OPPORTUNITY.
The area is home to a wide range of diverse and ambitious businesses, including a number of large internationals. This diverse, strong and vibrant business base provides Dorset with the commercial foundation it needs to support economic growth and prosperity.
D
orset is about to become the first area in a decade to undergo a unitarisation process that will create two strong unitary authorities for Dorset, improving cohesive regional delivery and planning. Well located along the vibrant south coast, Dorset also has good links with the dynamic centres of the Greater South East and the wider South West, and with a number of international supply chains and markets. We also have exciting and effective resources in talent and technical innovation as well as nature, to be deployed for future growth. Businesses often mention the need to secure future workforce. We are very aware of this need and recognise that improving housing choice and availability is vital to attracting and maintaining a workforce. In fact a number of businesses through the BCC QES stated that housing can be a problem for recruitment. Until now it has been difficult to coordinate housing and infrastructure investment across the county due to Dorset’s eight independent planning authorities, meanwhile an extensive Green Belt and a tendency to build low density housing, often for second homes, has made it difficult to build the correct tenure mix and at the scale required for the local working population plus workers we need in the future. The outcome is high house prices that are increasingly out of reach for Dorset’s residents or people looking to move here. Dorset has also long suffered from poor transport infrastructure and intense constraints on development, partly due to its natural environment. Congestion, particularly in the Bournemouth-Christchurch-Poole conurbation but also across the North-South and East-West axes of the county, is among the most severe in England and has worsened in recent years.
Our a 20-year vision for growth in Dorset ‘Horizon 2038’ outlines plans for pursuing an affordable housing deal for local workers, initiating a new approach to affordable housing delivery that embraces better delivery models, modular housing, housing types appropriate for younger people (including support for the private rented sector), higher density development in the city and improved design and community creation to support sustainable ageing. It also reveals how we aim to work with Government to prioritise investment in connectivity - a successful 21st century economy rests upon unimpeded communication and connectivity. We want all of Dorset to have access to superfast broadband, uninterrupted mobile signal, and be able to travel efficiently within the county and beyond. But positive developments are also happening right now. Dorset LEP’s £98.5 million Growth Deal programme, funded via the Government’s Local Growth Fund, is already delivering major infrastructure improvement schemes across the county and
more news online - www.dorsetchamber.co.uk/news
unlocking land for housing and employment. The programme is expected to deliver £1.148 billion private investment to Dorset, up to 31,800 new and safeguarded jobs, and up to 5,800 new homes by March 2021. South East Dorset recently received a major transport boost following the Government announcement that the area is to be one of twelve city regions set to receive a share of £1.28bn as part of the Department for Transport’s £2.5bn Transforming Cities Fund. The scale of investment will enable a step change in tackling congestion locally. The provision of high speed bus corridors and major new cycling routes coupled with the delivery of smart solutions, latest digital technologies and much better transport information will transform the city region’s transport system. In turn this will lead to improved productivity and greater prosperity in the area. Simplified planning enabled through a Local Development Order has also been awarded to Dorset Innovation
Park, the county’s only Enterprise Zone, unlocking rapid investment in the site by target sector companies and reducing the planning process from several months to less than 28 days. Working is also taking place behind the scenes to support Dorset’s aim to be a leading urban centre for 5G roll out. We have set the bar high for Dorset with ambitious, demanding growth plans to double our economic output, create 80,000 new jobs and build around 78,000 new homes by 2038. The development of a Local Industrial Strategy will set out our plans for achieving these ambitions and ensure that Dorset has a strong identity built on the foundations of a healthy, prosperous, vibrant and inclusive place where people want to live, visit, learn and work.
Lorna Carver, Director Dorset Local Enterprise Partnership
Dorset Local Enterprise Partnership is a business led private and public sector partnership that aims to promote local economic growth and prosperity. Acting as a strategic gateway to funding, Dorset LEP supports and delivers projects of long term economic benefit for all in Dorset through cross sector partnership For more information visit the Dorset LEP www.dorsetlep.co.uk/

DORSET BUSINESS FOCUS / INTERVIEW
Employee Engagement Is Good For Business Transforming your company culture The results of the Quarterly Economic Survey have highlighted the extent to which labour shortages have risen in the UK as businesses report difficulties in recruiting and retaining talent. So, what can be done to overcome this issue? Having a deep understanding of business structure and your people is key in addressing the problem while making your business an attractive proposition for any candidate. We spoke to James Collins, Managing Director of Insure4Retirement (I4R) about how he dramatically transformed his businesses employee turnover and developed a thriving and awardwinning culture. How did you identify that your business needed a fresh approach/ different strategy in regard to talent? I4R is a fantastic business that has been specialising in home insurance for the over 50s community since 2004. It’s a well-established business but when I joined in 2014, attrition was at nearly 150% in one year and employee engagement was only 39%. The business was recruiting 20 people a month and most didn’t stay beyond six months, so it was immediately clear that we needed to dig into the way the business was operating to better understand what was causing employees to leave the organisation. What needed to change and why? We decided that the underlying culture had to change because it is impossible to manage a business with this level of employee turnover and provide the service required by customers. How did you make those changes? The first key step was to listen to the people within the business. We set up focus groups and over the course of a month listened to what everybody had to say – good and not so good! The ‘not so good’ became obvious fairly quickly so we then built a 100 day change plan to kick start some rapid change. We identified six key areas of change where we felt we could make a big impact quickly, these included:• • • • • • 6
The office environment Introducing small on-going incentives Creating a fun place to work Improving communication Changing the bonus schemes Celebrating success
After the 100 days we expanded the plan to include:• • • • • •
Career progression Reward and recognition Learning and development Social and fun Charity & community Health and wellbeing
Under each main heading there were a number of initiatives to facilitate the change of culture that was required. For instance under career progression we created two new roles in the structure and created a nine month training programme to support these new positions. Within charity and community we asked employees to draw up a short-list of charities and then had all employees vote on their charity of choice for the year. What were the main challenges you had to overcome in-order to make these changes? Whilst change is fundamental to success, a lot of people really don’t like change! There were a number of colleagues that had been in the business a while and liked the way it had operated. Once the changes started to happen, it wasn’t for them and they moved on. And that was okay – embracing a new way of working is not for everyone. How much commercial investment did you need to make to make these changes? Very little! The change was all about culture and using the resources that were already available. For instance, Gallagher (the global insurance broker that I4R is now part of) has a great benefits scheme but employees didn’t know about it. It also had a great recognition programme called DARE (Delivering All Round Excellence) and, again it just wasn’t being utilised previously within this part of the business. What impact have your changes made on your business? Whilst our commitment to client service has remained constant, I4R is a very different business now, culturally. We have attrition at less than 20% and employee engagement is now over 80%. The financial impact has been huge too, as the cultural transition has also supported the business model change. High attrition levels are not sustainable for any

business, particularly in a service-led organisation like ours. But, thanks to our cultural change programme we don’t have that as a challenge anymore and the I4R business has a bright future. How exclusive do you think the issues were to your businesses/ sector? The I4R issues were quite extreme but many businesses suffer from low employee engagement and maybe don’t even know it. The first thing to do is to survey your employees and establish a benchmark. How engaged are they? Are there pockets of poor engagement? Are some areas performing well? As a leadership team do you know your people’s concerns and challenges? From that point you can then build a people plan. Our people are our greatest asset and they can leave and work for someone else, so why do they want to work for you and your organisation? What future are you offering them and how can they input into those plans and ideas? What are the biggest lessons you have learnt and what advice would you give to businesses who are having challenges in attracting/ retaining talent? You have to start somewhere and do something. Every little change will start to make a difference; from a Friday night social as a thank-you, to creating an environment where people feel their voices are heard. It’s an ongoing journey so get going and you will see the difference.

How To Attract And Retain Talent. A View From The Experts
From those recruiters and human resources experts that responded to us it appears they all share a common view in how businesses can help themselves in getting the edge when it comes to attracting and retaining talent. “We work with a number of different employers and within these companies it is important that they are staffed between certain hours and days of the week. However, making reasonable adjustments to enable people to work who may not fit the 9-5 rule, is key as without this adaptability companies will begin to get left behind. How about offering that person to work six hours, or working from one or two days a week? Work life balance is integral to the mental and physical wellbeing of the workforce, and having this approach is being proven again and again to increase productivity and profitability in businesses across the globe.” Angela Piromalli, CEO Rock Recruitment “Employers have to realise that filling a vacancy means attracting someone who is probably already in work somewhere else. So why would they be interested in their job? Money obviously plays a big part but so do future prospects, training, promotion possibilities, working environment, and extra benefits such as flexible working hours, gym membership, health insurance or even free parking. The interview process is also critical. So many employers leave the interviews to inexperienced line managers who have not been trained in interview techniques and ambitious potential employees can be put off before they have even been offered the job. Interviews work both ways and the employee, if they are any good (and why would anybody want one that isn’t?) are likely to have several potential jobs they can go to so that means the potential employer should make the interview process simple, enjoyable and professional. Employers should not assume that everybody wants to work for them, in fact, they should assume they don’t and therefore they need to pull out all the stops to make sure those potential future stars really feel wanted. “ Phil Harmsworth, Director The Work Shop Resourcing Ltd “It’s a candidate driven market so employers need to be flexible. Being able to compromise is important and businesses need to be look beyond experience and evaluate other qualities and values. Candidates are increasingly researching into your brand, working hours, flexible working options, holidays and other benefits rather than just the salary. Remember they have choices. They can and will go elsewhere if the application process and subsequent communication is too slow or cumbersome, hence the candidate experience during all the hiring stages will become quite a significant factor that can make or break your recruiting goals in 2019. Employers also need to invest in training, learning and developing talent to grow their talent pipeline – this is a critical factor in retaining talent in the long term. Helen Stacey, Managing Director Aspire Jobs more news online - www.dorsetchamber.co.uk/news
“Businesses should be thinking about how to make their employees feel listened to and valued, from day one. A good brand reflects vision and values, and attracts employees whose worth ethic and values are in alignment with the organisation. In an increasingly competitive market, jobseekers aren’t just looking for the highest salary. It’s important for companies to ensure their candidates are engaged, regularly updated and clear about the requirements and responsibilities of the position they have applied for. Opportunities for career development and bonus incentives are also a great way to attract and retain top talent. However, recognition for a job well done is often just as effective as monetary incentives, this really depends on the makeup of the team. By making employees feel welcome and valued from the beginning, and cultivating a positive company culture through good leadership, incentives and opportunity, businesses will find their teams are happier, more focussed, more productive and this will help to ensure a reduced turnover of staff. Hannah Walker, Recruitment Business Partner. Purple HR
“With the second cohort of graduates born after 1995 entering the workplace, employers have a great opportunity to attract new talent known as Gen Z. Graduates and those in their twenties have very different expectations from previous generations however, so businesses must understand these to attract and more importantly retain them. People will rarely stay in the same job for longer than five years now, so we urge employers to be smart about what they can offer. Work is not just about money - offering support, training and genuine career progression is key. Leadership visibility and transparency is also essential, as these generations want to invest in a company and its aims. Workplace health and wellbeing is also very important. Many companies are offering employee-led schemes around identifying and coping with mental health and stress, which is undoubtedly being influenced by the wants and needs of these new generations.”
“We are in the midst of the hardest recruitment times we have ever known. Unemployment is at an alltime low, candidates are more choosy, people are staying in roles due to Brexit uncertainty and skill shortages mean the competition for top talent is fierce! My top 3 tips for recruiting in 2019 • • •
Invest in social recruiting – both training and delivery Take a proactive approach to sourcing talent and don’t rely on job board advertising Put yourself in the shoes of your ideal candidate when writing your job adverts.”
Matthew Edge-Wilkins, Managing Director. Intalent
“Employers really need to think about why people would come to work for them and what is special or unique in comparison to other recruiting businesses. Talented people are looking beyond the basic salary, they are researching into your brand, looking for evidence of any career development opportunities you have in place while reviewing your company culture”.

DORSET BUSINESS FOCUS / PRESIDENTS COLUMN
A Message From The DCCI President Liz Willingham
The most recent BCC Quarterly Economic Survey identified several challenges for us in 2019, unsurprisingly in the current flux of Brexit unknowns and economic uncertainty. However, a headline issue continues to be recruitment and the skills shortage.
W
hilst fewer companies are attempting to recruit, those that are hiring are finding it harder than ever to fill vacancies. Being creative with how we attract and retain our teams is becoming a higher priority all the time, and as I go about my day and meet business leaders across the county, I am reassured to see many approaching the whole thing with determination and a refreshing perspective. It is no coincidence that the focus needed on wellbeing in the workplace, one of my pledges for attention amidst Chamber activities this year, has a part to play. It is far more cost effective to look after your existing talent than to go out cold and try to find good replacements. Staff retention is not something you can work on in an ad hoc way; to make your working environment a desirable and dynamic ‘must stay’ place of work, it has to be at the core of its culture. Talking to recruitment agencies on the ground, they believe that talent is indeed here in Dorset. But those looking for their ideal places of work can be choosy, and how we position ourselves as employers has never been more scrutinised. Whilst we are challenged here in the realm of salaries compared to other regions, we have to dangle other carrots that are as important to most as pounds and pence.
How we CARE for our teams is key. This means being open to flexible working, being concerned with an employee’s 360 degree world, not just within their working hours. What is going on in their personal lives can manifest itself greatly in the workplace and how we support staff can only command their loyalty and respect, with most scenarios resulting in higher productivity. At Liz Lean PR we have always had a culture which is approachable, open and warm; as a team we are one big family. We are very fortunate to be able to offer an unusual and creative environment with the beach on our doorstep. Bryher the Labrador brings stress-busting fur factor and we celebrate individuals every month who have gone the extra mile. There are lots of little things which I hope make the difference.
To attract new talent, maybe from other parts of the UK, we have to present a picture within our businesses which is appealing, but also as a county we have to throw a bright light out there that puts us on the map.

February 2019 | Dorset Business Focus
A heightened formalising of flexible working last year ensures the team feel empowered and nurtured which has been welcomed. Performance is strong as a result. Whilst client results are our number one priority this can be achieved with happy, fulfilled and more relaxed team members who have their personal and working lives considered in the round. We need to be thinking outside the box, realising we are in a 24/7 world; people work differently and /company/dorset-chamber/
young people entering the workplace have a different mindset to the working day. The words ‘work/life balance’ tend not to be on their radar – the mix of work and lifestyle is all one. If they feel motivated at midnight to blast out a piece of work they are happy to do so, and as a result you may find them preferring to be in the gym at 10am the next day. Getting our head around this and providing our stars of the future with the culture that celebrates how they work is going to make all the difference to business performance moving forward. The traditional control freak in us might feel uncomfortable about the prospect, but as mental health threats in the workplace rise, we need to learn from others who are embracing change in the workplace. To attract new talent, maybe from other parts of the UK, we have to present a picture within our businesses which is appealing, but also as a county we have to throw a bright light out there that puts us on the map. That is a whole different subject but with all these things there is a natural chain reaction. If Dorset has a reputation for regeneration, opportunity, cultural diversity, creative indulgence and artistic influence, there is no reason why we shouldn’t win that big star from Bristol, Brighton, or London. That’s what we should be aspiring to achieve, not just relying on our very beautiful landscape as the only draw. Maybe I’ll dive into that next time, but for now, get your management teams in the room and think creatively about how you could provide a unique workplace that becomes THE place to work. It might throw you out of your comfort zone but before too long you’ll be shouting about it, trust me… For now,
Liz

Fall In Love With Dorset’s Fabulous Food & Drink
T
o coincide with Valentine’s Day and the Spring half-term holidays, Dorset Food & Drink (DF&D) is organising a 15day long celebration of all the great food and drink made right here in the county. This will be a fantastic opportunity for all of us to show our love for our favourites amongst the delicious foodstuffs and libations created by our Dorset neighbours - and hopefully find some new tastes and tipples with which to start a relationship!

that break down the materials.
Until now, pressure washing was considered an effective treatment, but this also causes damage to building materials through erosion which can be costly over time. Bournemouth-based eco cleaning experts Supreme Exterior Clean has a far more gentle, nonaggressive and eco-friendly approach to exterior cleaning known as ‘SoftWashing’. This treats the root systems of growths rather than the surface problem, much like weeds are treated. SoftWashing uses a water based, biodegradable chemical to kill the entire plant by breaking its bond on the surface and penetrating all the way to the root, using one third the water of pressure washing. The result is a one hundred per cent kill ratio which lasts 4 to 6 times longer than pressure washing. Developed in the United States, SoftWashing solutions emulsify dirt and grime, break down bugs nests and webs whilst also killing mould, mildew, algae and bacteria leaving surfaces sanitised as well as cleaned. Regular SoftWashing with the right equipment by professionally trained staff at Bournemouth’s Supreme Exterior Clean will ensure that organic materials do not take hold and that property owners and / or building managers are not open to unnecessary and expensive repairs to render and other building materials caused by erosion through pressure washing.

DORSET BUSINESS FOCUS / YOUNG CHAMBER
Things You Should Know: The Importance Of Business Engagement In Schools Dorset Chamber member businesses are at the forefront of helping schools to deliver their careers strategies in Dorset, with Young Chamber playing a key role in coordinating activity. Whether you are seeking to create or enhance a talent pipeline for your business, or a parent of a secondary school students looking to make decisions about their future, understanding the way in which careers support has changed in the last 18 months is important.
What’s Needed In October 2017 the Governmentbacked Careers & Enterprise Company launched in Dorset. It was followed by the publication of the Government’s long-awaited Careers Strategy and Industrial Strategy both of which, alongside the nationallyadopted 8 Gatsby Benchmarks, provide a framework for best careers provision in schools and colleges. The result is that all schools now have a statutory requirement to fulfil careers support to students built around the Gatsby Benchmarks and schools use a measurement tool to evaluate their individual performance. The Gatsby Benchmarks ensure both parents and students are given the information they need to help a young person make informed choices about their future careers, ensuring schools: 1. provide a stable careers programme; 2. provide learning from career and labour market information; 3. address the needs of each pupil; 4. link curriculum learning to careers; 5. provide encounters with employers and employees; 6. provide experiences of workplaces; 7. give encounters with further and higher education; 8. provide personal guidance to students.
Young Chamber: Sleeves Up And Hands On Young Chamber in Dorset launched in 2016 ahead of the Careers & Enterprise Company, which means it was already established and well placed to help schools to start fulfilling their statutory obligations. Young Chamber currently works with 14 schools and colleges across the county, mobilising the Dorset Chamber business community to assist schools with a range of events and activities. In particular, Young Chamber focuses on Gatsby Benchmarks 4, 5 and 6. Gatsby 4: Young Chamber is keen to identify business people whose roles relate to a curriculum subject with a view to placing them in schools to give short talks to students about how the classroom learning directly relates to job roles. Young Chamber will be issuing a survey to support this and is keen to hear from people of all ages and working levels who would like to share their experiences and bring classroom learning to life. Gatsby 5: Young Chamber already plays a key role in helping schools to provide multiple opportunities for students to learn from employers about work, employment and the skills valued in the workplace, calling on a growing number of volunteers from the Dorset Chamber membership, and other businesses and organisations, to support careers days and mock interviews in schools, and to provide targeted workshops and talks to age specific students. Young Chamber has a growing Speaker Profile Library where people from the business community register to give talks. Gatsby 6: While work experience is usually arranged and administrated directly between schools and businesses, Young Chamber is sometimes asked to help find work placements for students interested in a specific sector. In addition, Young Chamber sometimes offers short placements to students. Young Chamber is actively seeking businesses in 2019 who can support site visits from schools – please get in touch.
more news online - www.dorsetchamber.co.uk/news
The Big Picture - 2019 Schools in Dorset are very fortunate to have a range of programmes available to help with the delivery of the Gatsby Benchmarks, including Young Chamber, Careers & Enterprise Company, Young Enterprise, local authority initiatives, engagement with further education providers (colleges), higher education (universities), education steering groups within business sectors, and apprenticeships. The big picture is that all of the providers work in collaboration in Dorset, which has resulted in combined events such as the Careers & Apprenticeship Show which took place for 4000 students in September 2018; planned vertical sector events with Bournemouth University, sponsor of Young Chamber; the Big Bang STEM event on 13 March 2019; and work with Dorset & Solent Young Apprenticeship Ambassador Network (YAAN). Next month will also see collaboration for the second year between Dorset LEP, Dorset Chamber, Young Chamber, Careers and Enterprise Company and Young Enterprise to support Dorset & Solent YAAN during National Apprenticeship Week (4-8 March).
Next Steps Young Chamber extends a huge thank you to the many businesses and individuals who have contributed to Young Chamber’s delivery in schools so far, all of which is made possible by the business sponsors of the schools we work with. Participation from volunteers has made a real difference to hundreds of students across Dorset. Input from employers has provided invaluable support to schools and insight on careers to students but there is much more work to do! Young Chamber hopes that providing a better understanding of the framework in which schools and providers work together will help businesses to engage further with schools and with greater focus.

Funding Options And Brexit We all know that there will be change as a result of Brexit – we just don’t know the extent of it. As there is no certainty of what Brexit will actually entail, it is currently down to each individual’s view as to the degree of uncertainty over the future. Despite the uncertainty, there is a significant amount of funding available bolstered by many new types of alternative finance and generally this is at a historically low cost.
What is alternative What should I be doing now finance? with my current funding with It is finance provided by lenders other than the established high Brexit in mind? street lenders. There has been a plethora of alternative funds that are now active lending for businesses to expand, make acquisitions or allowing shareholders to realise value through debt backed management buyouts. In many cases they complement the offering of traditional lenders and both should be considered in funding structures.
What if I need new funding? The basic building blocks remain the same, to raise funds you will require a set of forecasts and a business plan – avoid lots of unexplained numbers. While it may seem apparent, the more you can do to lessen the perceived risk of any lend, the lower the interest rate and therefore in preparing your forecasts you should make sure you consider how you would mitigate identified business risks. 18
Now is a good time to look at your current funding structures: • review your working capital cycle to see whether it can be improved. If this hasn’t been done for a while it can release cash with no borrowing cost! • ensure that there are suitable funding facilities in place – not just the quantum but also the type and FX (where appropriate) to allow adequate headroom in case there are delays in your supply chain or you wish to do some stockpiling; • considering Government schemes such as Export Finance support to see if they can ease the pressure on your Bank and increase your borrowing capacity, and; • review lending covenants (especially if they were set several years ago) to ensure that they also allow adequate headroom to minimise the chance of tripping up on them unexpectedly. Consider the impact of both foreign exchange fluctuations and future reporting under FRS102. At PKF-Francis Clark we have a significant track record of successfully raising funds for our clients across a number of funding sources (debt and equity). We would encourage you to contact us if you are thinking about your options in the current market. www.pkf-francisclark.co.uk

New Sunseeker CEO Flying The Flag For Dorset 2018 was an incredibly busy year for Sunseeker International and I have joined the business at a pivotal time as we embark on a five-year growth strategy.
2
018 saw Sunseeker further develop its product range with the launch of three new models - Predator 50, Predator 74 and 74 Sport Yacht. Sunseeker prides itself on producing the world’s finest luxury performance motor yachts and these new models exemplify the very latest in our cutting-edge design. The award-winning 74 Sport Yacht is already proving to be an incredible sales success with 12 models sold worldwide since its launch in September. Importantly, we also announced a momentous partnership with ICON Yachts of Holland to produce a 161 Yacht in aluminium and steel, our first venture in metal with a specialist world-class yard and the opportunity to build ever-larger yachts for our discerning clientelle. Our partnership with the FIFA World Cup in Russia provided Sunseeker with access to the largest
sporting event on the planet. Not only was it the most prestigious marketing initiative for Sunseeker but for the marine industry. Sunseeker achieved incredible brand exposure, attracting significant media coverage and interest across the world whilst the partnership offered some truly rare ‘once in a lifetime’ experiences for staff, clients and dealers. Last summer, Sunseeker unveiled its plans for a marine conservation programme in Menorca with our long-term charity partner, The Blue Marine Foundation (BLUE). Working closely with BLUE, a UK-based charity dedicated to creating marine reserves, the new partnership will establish a recognised model of conservation. With the future of healthy seas and oceans at risk, Sunseeker is passionate about the marine environment worldwide. We recognise that there has been a real
awakening in the leisure marine industry to be even more responsible and we have been at the forefront of this by encouraging everyone to make a positive impact on the health and well-being of our seas. Having only been in my role a few months, I am pleased to be working with the Sunseeker team in such a significant year. 2019 marks 50 years of boat building in Poole for Sunseeker and as a local business with a global reputation, we do what we can to fly the flag for Dorset. We are extremely proud of our heritage and this year we are set to further strengthen our position at the forefront of the global yacht market. Christian Marti, CEO Sunseeker International

GDPR Expert Helping Dorset Business Stay Compliant
N
ew research says 58% of adults are worried about data and privacy online. However public trust of how companies handle our personal data is slowly on the rise. The General Data Protection Regulation came into effect from 25th May 2018 in place of the DPA1998 and is enforced in the UK via the DPA 2018. The legal obligations of businesses can be lengthy and arduous. The areas of compliance are vast and apply to different types of business and dependant on what type of data they process. Digital Compliance Hub was set up for this very reason, to help protect and assist businesses and keep up to date with how and why companies are being fined and how to avoid these pitfalls. Mark Gracey, also affectionately referred to as Mr. GDPR due to his in-depth knowledge of data compliance and everything GDPR breaks down the regulation into bitesize pieces to enable business owners to action and ensure compliance is upheld to avoid action being taken by the ICO. The Digital Compliance Hub organises regular workshops and webinars to combat the knowledge gaps that many businesses face. Many are free webinars that can be accessed simply by reserving a space. For more information see the Digital Compliance Hub events page. Mark Gracey, Owner of Digital Compliance Hub: “GDPR can be daunting, and for that reason, many companies and businesses ignore it with terrible consequences. My aim is to ensure other businesses big and small are compliant, stay compliant and above all do it with ease and can access knowledge quickly.”

BCHA Appoints Experienced NHS Man To Head Board A wealth of experience in NHS management is now benefiting charitable housing association BCHA with the appointment of Mike Wood as Chair of the Board. Mike has been a manager at every level of the NHS nationally and regionally including 12 years as a chief executive. Having moved to the town centre three years ago, he wanted a new challenge and was appointed to his voluntary Chair role. Mike said: “I feel there needs to more a link between health and housing – it feels like an untapped opportunity. In London I worked with a Chair of a housing association and I could see there was a good fit between housing and the NHS.” Along with the rest of the BCHA board, Mike’s role as chair is an unpaid one. He said: “I felt as if I had something to offer – I’ve lived a long time, I have a lot of experience of general management and helping to develop a team. And I like to be stretched, and housing is a sector I wasn’t familiar with so it’s a personal challenge. “We have a responsibility to balance books and provide good basic services to our customers – but we must also add value and diversify. Innovation and seeking new opportunities helps us add value –and also to fill in the gaps left by other services.” BCHA is a charity which has been helping homeless and vulnerable people for 50 years. It has helped more than 10,000 people each
year off the streets, out of abuse, over skills barriers, and on to independence. Fifty years on from the formation of BCHA the need for its services just keeps growing. Mike said: “We might have hoped that by now there would be solutions and people would not need our services. But the profile of homelessness is so high – it’s a problem which doesn’t go away so there are still big challenges. “I like the diversity of BCHA – there are so many aspects to the organisation, from housing and training to the allotment. I love gardening so I’ll be making a beeline for the allotment around May.” Mike’s own gardening will have to take a back seat as, having retired from the NHS last year, he was offered another NHS job which sees him working in Bath, Swindon and Wiltshire. But he is now firmly settled in Bournemouth, living within walking distance of BCHA’s headquarters at the Lansdowne. Mike said: “It’s great being so close – I can be here at short notice if I’m needed. “As a board we have three roles: assurance – making sure we do things in the right way; strategy – working out where we need to be in the future; and advocacy, which are about the personality of the organisation, promoting and celebrating what we do.” “It’s all about getting the balance right.”
TDSi’s Supports Julia's House For 2019 Integrated security manufacturer TDSi is proud to announce it will again be supporting Dorset-based children’s hospice Julia’s House in 2019. The announcement follows a programme of successful activities last year which included a ‘Change for Change’ collection day, a Halloween ‘Bake Off’ event, participation in the gruelling Tough Mudder and ‘Christmas Jumper Day’. Francesca Meyrick, Marketing Manager at TDSi commented, “Julia’s House holds a special place in the hearts of the TDSi team. Located not far from our Head Office in Poole, the charity’s hospice supports children with life-limiting illnesses and their families. We have been supporting the charity through fundraising initiatives for a number of years now and 2018 was no different – with the Tough Mudder event alone raising £1,200 for this wonderful cause.” Members of the TDSi team recently visited the hospice centre in Corfe Mullen, Dorset to see how the money raised is helping children and their families. Francesca elaborated, “It was great to see the amazing facilities and to understand how vital this charity is to those that rely upon its services. Those of us that visited the facility were quite overcome by
the amazing work the charity carries out on a daily basis for people that desperately need its support.” Visiting Julia’s House in person has also galvanised the TDSi into repeating its support again for 2019, as Francesca added, “It was also a real eye-opener with regards to the costs involved and just how important it is to show continued support to the charity, which is why we have chosen to focus our efforts again for 2019. We are all excited to be planning and organising a fresh set of fundraising activities to continue our ongoing support.” For more details on TDSi, its products and services, please visit the website: www.tdsi. co.uk or telephone: +44 (0)1202 723535 25

An innovative electronics manufacturer in Dorset, has qualified for £140k as cashback from the government via the research and development (R&D) tax credit scheme. The payout was four times more than the client had originally anticipated. Rob Sowden, of Bournemouthbased consultancy Business Cash Enabler writes: “It was a familiar story, a business and their accountant trying to compile a claim, with neither party understanding the technical scope of the scheme, which is much broader than is often realised. It was a real bonus ball because the company was only set to receive c. £35k by attempting to submit a claim in conjunction with their accountant. The R&D tax credit scheme enables a business to recoup a large proportion of costs incurred for any form of unique innovation that requires overcoming technical or scientific uncertainty. The qualifying expenditure can generate tax rebates, a cash payment (even when the business is loss-making), a deduction to offset tax on account or an enhancement of losses to reduce future tax liability arising. Whichever way the client receives the credit, it is a bottom-line contribution to the business. “Many businesses have previously claimed under the scheme and received small amounts, maybe £10k, £20k or £30k, which is often much less than they are entitled to. What catches many businesses out is that they believe this is an accountancy work-stream, whereas it is really about technology. Because they have received a payment from HMRC, they assume they ‘have it covered’. In reality, they may never know what they didn’t get! The service I introduced this client to provides a technical analyst to identify all of the qualifying activities permitted within the government’s scheme rules. This service doesn’t replace the function of a company’s accountancy firm, but is a specialist service that compliments the accountant’s work. Many accountancy firms now refer their clients to a specialist provider.” Business Cash Enabler provides a free service to businesses to check eligibility under the HMRC R&D tax credit scheme. www.businesscashenabler.co.uk

Coles Miller Appoints Lifesaving New Marketing Manager
Superyachts Are Being Targeted By Eavesdroppers High net worth individuals are becoming increasingly concerned about being bugged on their superyachts, according to a leading expert.
M
att Horan, security director of C3IA Solutions, said his teams of ‘bug sweepers’ have been expanded to deal with the extra workload. In recent months a number of huge, privately-owned vessels have been swept by the company’s Technical Surveillance Counter Measures (TSCM) teams. Some owners have erroneously thought that being at sea gave them more security than their offices and homes. C3IA Solutions’ TSCM teams have flown out to various places in the world to undertake examination of the vessels. Mr Horan, whose company is based in Poole, Dorset, home to luxury motoryacht builder Sunseeker, said: “Certainly our own experience would indicate that owners are now more aware of the risks their superyachts face. “The perception that being in a mobile environment, at sea, affords greater protection is a dangerous myth. “With the regular changes of crews and the yachts being chartered to third parties, there are many more opportunities for bugs and devices to be planted. “Often a client will become suspicious when something he has been said on board is repeated elsewhere. “Clearly, one reason is that the conversation was being recorded. And with bugs so small and easily disguised or hidden, it requires a lot of sophisticated equipment to find them. “The work is in no way glamorous; it requires the teams to often crawl around the vessels with their equipment looking for readings that indicate something needs exploring further.
“Some of these yachts costing many millions – or even billions – are much bigger than houses and the work can take weeks to complete. “Our teams have swept yachts from 130ft to well over 300ft – usually after they have been chartered and returned to their owners. “Those targeting these vessels with bugs could be doing it for a variety of reasons; business rivals seeking information, state operations gathering intelligence, right down to spouses looking for evidence of infidelity. “We usually carry out a full audit of the yacht, its manifest and movements. We also research crew members and the suppliers. We’ll also conduct a vulnerability analysis on the yacht’s IT networks highlighting technical vulnerabilities and areas of security that need looking at. “Our recent work in this area does suggest that owners have become far more concerned about their levels of cyber-security. Many at C3IA have military backgrounds and the high net worth individuals do look favourably on this. “One reason high net worth individuals enjoy their yachts is that, because of modern communications, they can work wherever they are in the world. “But these same communications also mean the computers on board are subject to the same threats as those on land, such as ransomware, phishing emails or hacking. So they need the same level of protection. “Our methods are not just restricted to yachts and ships, but apply to any form of transport, including aeroplanes.” C3IA Solutions was one of the first six companies certified by the government’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC).

Fertility Lawyer Welcomes Change In Surrogacy Law A Dorset fertility lawyer has welcomed a change in the surrogacy law which will allow single people to apply for parental orders. Suzi Denton, who heads up Ellis Jones’ fertility and surrogacy legal team, said she was “thrilled” at the reform. She added: “This puts single parents who are growing their families through surrogacy on the same legal footing as those who are married, in civil partnerships or in long term relationships. “It is great news not just for single parents but for everyone in the surrogacy community in the UK.” Under UK law, the woman who gives birth to a child is automatically considered the child’s legal parent, no matter where in the world the child is born. A parental order is the means by which legal parenthood is transferred from the surrogate (and her spouse or civil partner, if she has one) to the intended parent or parents. Before the law change, the legislation that established parental orders - Section 54 of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 2008 – only permitted couples to apply for orders, leaving the children born to single people in legal limbo. This led Sir James Munby, then President of the Family Division of
the High Court, to declare the law incompatible with human rights legislation in the case Re Z in 2016. A remedial order was drafted and laid before Parliament in 2017 and after several revisions it was approved by both houses and signed by the minister in December, coming into force this month (January). Suzi, who launched Ellis Jones’ new fertility and surrogacy service last October, said: “The reform is long overdue and very welcome. “Although single people were able to have children through surrogacy before this change, the process for securing their legal parentage was much more complex. “We are thrilled with this longawaited news, and look forward to supporting many more single parents through the parental order process in the years to come.” www.ellisjones.co.uk 33

Executive Level Recruitment Agency Unveils New Website Senior Leadership recruiter TeamExecutive has unveiled its new brand identity and website.
T
eamExecutive, formed in 2017, sources senior leaders up to board level for the SME market in manufacturing, retail and hospitality, including private, equitybacked companies. The niche company operates across the South, from Cornwall to London, and is an associate brand of recruitment specialist TeamJobs. Executive Manager Sally Bennett, said: “The new brand identity and web platform have been designed and constructed to perfectly reflect TeamExecutive’s, expertise and strong values. “Since our inception we have sought to be honest and upfront about who we are and what we do, and like many other executive search businesses we could have given ourselves a much wider remit. But we know we can’t be everything to everyone, so we identified our core sectors and are excelling in them, with a high success rate to date and an 80 per cent client return rate. “The challenge for the designers at Veritas ABD was to represent this in our brand and communication platforms.”
Verity Spencer, Founder of Dorset-based Veritas ABD, said: “It became apparent very early on, from meeting with key team players and from a brand workshop we conducted, the brand essence of TeamExecutive was ‘Connecting WITH People’; their core brand values identified as: People, Partnership, Passion, Professionalism and their key positioning statement “challenging the status quo of executive search” was defined. “Creating a strong brand is not about simply designing a great logo or even a website – it is about being faithful to your core values, personality and true essence of what your company stands for, and also ensuring these resonate with your target audience so that you are set apart from your competition.
“We began by creating a strong and authoritative gold and black pyramid logo. This branding was replicated in all internal and external communication platforms. “The website was built on a flexible, customisable and secure Silverstripe CMS platform, incorporating content, a ‘pop-up’ chat box and animated sequences using the brand pyramid device for both the initial sequence and for testimonials.” TeamExecutive clients include aeronautical expert AGI and leading photonic technology company Novanta. Sally added: “We chose Veritas ABD, which as the name suggests, works with the same honesty and integrity that we do. We are confident the new brand identity will allow us to take our business to further success in 2019.” www.teamexecsearch.com

Celebrating 50 Years Of Manufacturing In Dorset Wimborne, UK – The Caterpillar Marine Power UK Ltd. Wimborne facility celebrated 50 years of manufacturing in Dorset, UK last month, helping Caterpillar customers build a better world.
I
n April 2017, new upgraded facilities were opened at number 22 Cobham Road. A new administration building, engine production hall, warehouse, the first new production test cells, including the best-in-class data capture standards and a new world-class paint facility have all been built. Caterpillar Inc. has invested in the future of the Wimborne facility, enabling the facility to grow and to support the delivery of great products for Caterpillar customers worldwide. “As a facility we are building on a tremendous history,” comments Andrew Goldspink, general manager at Caterpillar Marine Power UK Ltd. “We have a growing team here in Wimborne, and we are supported globally by the Caterpillar and Perkins brands. I am excited about what the future holds.”

In October 1968, John Freeman founded Sabre Engines Ltd in Poole, Dorset and as a company they enjoyed early success in both local and international powerboat races. Victories included the 1972 London to Monte Carlo endurance race. Sabre was so successful that in 1975 they moved to Cobham Road, Ferndown where they could increase their capacity. They occupied number 22, the very same site Caterpillar Marine Power UK Ltd occupies today. In 1991 Sabre Engines Ltd first collaborated with Perkins Engine Company Limited, resulting in the Perkins Sabre engine. The Perkins Engine Company was purchased by Caterpillar Inc. in 1997, and three years later Sabre Engines Ltd was also acquired. Perkins Sabre engines were then marketed through Perkins, under

The core engines would now be purchased from the company headquarters in Peterborough, and then made suitable for marine use at the Wimborne facility. Perkins marine engines were sold and supported globally via a network of approved Perkins Distributors, managed from Wimborne. The same entity that first established themselves back in 1968 is now part of Caterpillar’s marine business.

Dorset Business Focus Magazine talks to Professor of Regional Economic Development, Nigel F Jump from Bournemouth University about 2019
BU At The Heart Of The Dorset Economy
T
he year ahead promises to be an interesting one for the Dorset economy. As local businesses “get on with the job”, they face uncertainty about the trading impact of UK’s Brexit, Dorset’s local government reorganisation, and the Dorset LEP’s preparation of a Local Industrial Strategy. Globally, there are questions about international trade, financial markets, and the outlook for investment and jobs. In such times, Dorset businesses must have ambition to succeed, boosting productivity and competitiveness through investment in innovation and skills. Meanwhile, the various development agencies should focus on key infrastructure and other capacity building opportunities. Business more news online - www.dorsetchamber.co.uk/news
needs an aspirational environment for sustainable development: a broad mind set for growth. Bournemouth University (BU) is a key partner in this pursuit of Dorset’s future growth. It is an important economic force in its own right; a provider of applied talent and research; and a source of business engagement and collaboration. BU offers bespoke expertise in a number of vital areas related to community and technological change. For example, the University’s new BU2025 strategy has four strategic investment themes: 1) assistive technology, 2) animation, simulation and visualisation, 3) medical science, and 4) sustainability and low carbon technology. These four multi-disciplinary areas represent important strands of the global “fourth industrial revolution”
that is now underway. They are likely to be crucial for long-term success in managing the opportunities of demographic, environmental and technological change. As residents, workers and entrepreneurs, we all face ‘new’ conditions. As the stock cycle and trading relationships shift, 2019 feels rather daunting. Working together for success, however, Dorset can be optimistic about the longer run. BU’s strong and strengthening relationship with the Dorset Chamber and other business and development partners is about being at the heart of a positive future for the local economy. Whatever this particular new year brings, BU intends to engage with local businesses and others in promoting productive and competitive advances well into the 2020s. 39

Founder & CEO, Malcom Whitham beamed with delight as he said “Having this group on the portal is a huge moment for CarehomeBedFinder, I now feel that all of the long nights, weekends and hard work has finally paid off. Although we officially launched on 29 January 2018, no one actually worked full time in the business until I left my old job and started in July so technically that’s six months of fulltime sales. It’s been a busy time of constant improvement and upgrading, with trials and failures but to see that the website has been extremely well received and people are actually finding placements using the site is really rewarding. “I know that my Mum and Aunt had nothing like this when my Grandmother needed to go into a home they were handed a directory of Dorset based care homes and had to start calling them, more news online - www.dorsetchamber.co.uk/news
sometimes homes didn’t pick up or messages were not passed on and it was a time consuming, stressful and fraught time for them both, this made me give each home a 0333 number with voicemail to email feature so no enquiry goes unanswered. “However sitting in an airport lounge having booked my next flight and hotel on my phone, I had my Eureka moment and here we are today.” “Our next big thing in our diary is the CMM Care Conference on 7th Feb at The Poole Lighthouse.”
How Many Canine Friends Go To Your Workplace?
An IT Software Solutions company in Ringwood, Hampshire believes that they may have the highest number of Dogs who join their owners to regularly work in their open-plan offices considering their team is no larger than 27 staff. KFA Connect Ltd Operations Director Juliet Ward, was one of the first to bring her dogs Kiah and Jazz to work 5 years ago, says that many clients and suppliers who visit their offices are impressed with the warm welcome offered by some of the 8 dogs who daily accompany their owners to work. Other staff own an additional 9 dogs but these only attend on special occasions! “What is incredible is that all the dogs get on very well. The newest member Maisy, owned by Emily, one of our Developers settled in very fast last Summer. Many of the team take their four-legged friends out for walks as a group during their breaks or at lunchtime,” said Juliet. “We have never found that the dogs in the office have put off potential new recruits, and we don’t insist that all members of staff are dog owners!” The directors at £2.5m turnover KFA Connect believe that the furry friends in the workplace have a calming effect on the staff who can often be stressed whilst approaching tight deadlines when updating major IT systems. “It’s very therapeutic to have them in the office and there are so many other benefits including the fact that the dog does not get left at home all day alone, and there is no need to pay for dog walkers during the day. We just find that the fun of owning a dog also works well in the workplace.” If your workplace can beat the total of 8 dogs that attend your workplace, please can you let KFA Connect know by email to info@kfa.co.uk 41

Winter Gardens And Bournemouth University Developments Pave The Way For A Bright Future In Urban Dorset The much-anticipated planning approval for the Bournemouth Winter Gardens development, brought to fruition by the Bournemouth Development Company (BDC) in conjunction with Savills planning at Wimborne, will become one of the largest developments seen in Dorset in recent years, heralding an anticipated change in fortunes for the newly created ‘Urban Dorset’ unitary authority.
B
ournemouth has already seen a major shift in profile, rising from relative obscurity to an international business destination with a burgeoning aerospace and defence industry, housing some of the biggest brands in the world. In addition to the transformational Winter Gardens scheme, landmark academic building developments for Bournemouth University at Talbot and Lansdowne have been successfully brought through planning by Savills, which are now coming to the attention of the wider public as the iconic new ‘Gateway’ buildings rise out of the ground. It’s hoped that these and other schemes currently in development throughout the region will create a stimulus for new investment in the area, as businesses seek to profit from the increased profile and opportunities offered by the creation of Urban Dorset. Savills planning associate director, Peter Lamb, who was instrumental in bringing a major research seminar on the potential of Urban Dorset to the local business community last November, says, “Investment by Bournemouth University is critical if Dorset is to attract the highest quality talent across a variety of sectors. In order to tempt students to stay in Dorset after graduation to start their own innovative businesses or to join existing organisations, then accommodation, retail and cultural offerings, and business space will all need to be energised. With the Winter Gardens and Bournemouth University projects, we are beginning to see 42
these improvements coming to fruition; and as a long-established employer in the area, Savills is proud to be a part of these flagship developments.” While retaining quality graduates is crucial to the long-term success of the region, retaining home-grown talent is just as important: - a factor Savills is taking seriously via its involvement with the DCCI Careers and Apprenticeship Fairs. Peter said, “Engaging with local students at the very beginning of their higher education learning journey is vitally important as we are able to

showcase the exceptional career opportunities which are available to them right on their doorstep. The Savills apprenticeship scheme offers a range of pathways into a property career, offering young people the ability to gain qualifications at the same time as pursuing a successful career, enabling them to earn as they learn.” On the future of Savills in Dorset, Peter commented, “Successful local relationships in the business and education sector are vital to the success of Savills as an investor and

/dorsetchamber
major employer in Dorset, where we have had a presence since 1947. Since that time, Savills has risen to become a FTSE250 company and major international brand with over 33,000 employees worldwide. We hope that that the opportunities offered by Urban Dorset will attract more international players to the area, helping to secure a stable economic future for the people who live and work in the area.” www.savills.co.uk

WeChat:
Harnessing The Power Of China’s ‘Super App’ by Emma Glazier, Head of Social at Crowd
China currently has a population of 1.37 billion people, who spent 91.8% of all time spent online on social media. This significant number is largely due to a social networking app in China, sometimes called ‘the app of everything’ - WeChat. It was launched as a messaging app in 2011 by media company Tencent.
O
ver the last few years, WeChat has completely transformed how people communicate, find information, shop, work and manage day to day life. The complex functionality and capabilities of WeChat set it apart from any other social network in the world and given the size of the consumer market in China, it is easy to see why it has captured the attention of many Western marketers. WeChat and its functions At its core, WeChat is an instant messaging app, but it has grown into a vast ecosystem of features from communications to shopping, gaming, banking, appointments and travel. With 1 billion monthly active users (Tencent 2018), WeChat essentially allows you to do anything you would want to do online. Some of the more unique features are Shake and Enterprise. WeChat’s ‘shake’ function allows users to connect with any user or corporate accounts. Offline retail businesses, including MBS Singapore and ION Singapore have used this feature to send personalised offers based on the user’s location. Another example is Burberry, which has used the ‘shake’ feature to invite followers to exclusively virtually attend new store openings and events. Whereas,
Enterprise is a special version of WeChat intended for business communication, management and work purposes. This feature allows employees to track their annual leave days, expenses and reimbursements and clocking in and out. There are two types of accounts (service and subscription), and the choice depends on the nature of your brand/service and what you’re looking to achieve on WeChat. For example, many luxury fashion brands such as Mulberry and Burberry have used WeChat service accounts to develop rich and immersive experiences for their followers to drive awareness, engagement and build loyalty via a customer database. The power of the mini-program WeChat also has ‘mini-programs’, which are applications that sit within the WeChat ecosystem, facilitating a wide range of advanced functions without the need to download or install separate applications to the phone. For brands, it presents an opportunity to give consumers a more immersive experience and build a deeper connection with their audience. For example, City Experience has built a mini-program in collaboration with Tourism Australia, Visit Britain, Dubai Tourism and Destination DC (Washington) which helps Chinese travellers to explore destination guides, interactive maps,
more news online - www.dorsetchamber.co.uk/news
audio guides, restaurants and tourist attractions before and while they visit the destination. Many Western brands are reaping the benefits of building ecommerce mini-program applications into accounts. For example, Montblanc tapped into the significance and popularity of Chinese astrology and the phases of the moon to raise awareness of its Meisterstück Heritage Perpetual Calendar and Bohème Perpetual Calendar Jewellery watches, which come with a feature to track the wax and wane of the moon on the watch dial. Followers of the brand could input birthdate and gender into the app to receive a tailored message about how the moon phase at the time of their birth affects their work and personality traits, creating an innovative and interactive way to communicate with customers. WeChat and social commerce Social commerce is a nationwide phenomenon in China and is becoming more dynamic as the market grows and more brands and stakeholders are entering it. The credit card was never widely adopted in China and the ease and convenience of mobile payments, via QR codes now dominate. It is fair to say that WeChat took a significant step forward by launching its ‘digital wallet’ WePay in 2014, taking on the then market leader, AliPay.
As the market matures, running a profitable WeChat store is becoming more challenging as the competition for attention on the platform is on the rise. Brands will need to combine high impact creative with optimised promotion techniques to stands out in such a ‘noisy’ market. What does the future hold for WeChat? There is no doubt that WeChat is a dominant channel in China and we expect it to become even more significant for international brands in 2019 and beyond. WeChat’s ambitions have been bold, and it has evolved from a social channel to a ‘super app’ in a short period of time. We believe that the company will further integrate WeChat functions to monetise gaming products. It has developed several popular games, including the 50 million players-a-day Honor of Kings (with which they have done a deal with DC Comics). As it looks to grow its gaming credentials and offering, there is an opportunity for WeChat social functions and WeChat Pay microtransaction functions to be easily integrated into other popular games on the platform. Furthermore, luxury brands in sectors such as fashion, beauty and lifestyle have started to create more meaningful partnerships with some of China’s leading opinion leaders. While influencer marketing is not a new concept, these partnerships will now go to a different level with key opinion leaders opening their own ecommerce stores on behalf of brands. Tencent is focusing more on building business partnerships and monetising its user base to enable more Western businesses to launch and grow in China, as opposed to international user growth. 43

WhatsApp Boss At ViewHR we thought we'd follow the growing trend of WhatsApp use in businesses. Increasingly, Sarah and I are leisurely told by businesses about their team ‘WhatsApp groups’ and all the funny stories on there. If I’m honest, my first reaction is to gasp at the potential risks of such WhatsApp groups and the HR webs we can end up unravelling, whilst at the same time, trying to balance in my mind the potential team benefits of such groups. WhatsApp can be a great benefit to employees, as long as it is used correctly. Due to the informality of WhatsApp, it can, however, be too easy for people to act inappropriately or find themselves in breach of company policies, without realising the impact of their behaviour.
•
The risk of breaches of confidentiality – even inadvertently, something confidential could be released in a WhatsApp group.
•
The risk of reputational damage to the business – when inappropriate (often unknown) WhatsApp messages are disclosed to a wider audience.
The possibility of crossing personal boundaries and/or breaching company guidelines/policies.
•
The risk of bullying and harassment – it can be used as a tool for bullying by employees.
•
The risk of inappropriate comments – it’s easy to make ‘off the cuff’ remarks and the written word can so often be misconstrued and misinterpreted as something entirely different to that which the sender originally meant.
•
•
Pressure on employees outside working hours – there is an increasing issue of ‘leaveism’ sweeping the country leading to stress and mental health issues (‘leaveism’ describes employees ‘working’ during their home time and annual leave by checking work emails/messages/taking calls) The failure to talk within businesses – WhatsApp communication can often be used as a replacement for the good oldfashioned face to face conversation.

Before you encourage WhatsApp groups in your business, please consider the following: •
Why do you need a WhatsApp group if you are communicating well within your business?
•
What is the purpose of the WhatsApp group and who is involved?
•
Are employees getting a chance to switch off from work outside of working hours?
•
Who is actually benefitting from this group?
•
What are you doing to ensure inappropriate material or comments aren’t made on the WhatsApp group?
•
If you decide it is appropriate to have a WhatsApp group, when will you, as a manager, send messages? Sending messages at a weekend may encourage or even put pressure on employees to respond.
So, what are some of the reasons ‘WhatsApp’ groups cause us concern? •
Ben & Nick Pulford
It's important to think about protecting your business from matters relating to WhatsApp use going wrong and about the communication culture within your business and the impact on your people, feel free to visit our website at www.viewhr.co.uk.

DORSET BUSINESS FOCUS / DORSET GATEWAY
With the deadline for Brexit looming large, and the possibility the UK will leave Europe with a “no deal” by default, how are Dorset Businesses making preparation to safeguard for the immediate future?
D
o you know how Brexit will impact your business or who to contact to help you make an informed decision about the future of your business? Discussions with our Gateway customers have highlighted the many concerns businesses have regarding Brexit. Numerous companies have reported that the uncertainty is hampering short term business plans or decisions, with many busily creating contingency plans for any possible adverse effects after 29th March. The Gateway has spoken to a variety of companies who are actively stockpiling to combat the possible effects of Brexit. Some are frustrated with the lack of clarity and need to know what the changes will be before they can take any business decisions or create a workable strategy. Declan O’Toole’s “Bring Back Lunch” catering company produces 2000 meals per day. They have been actively stockpiling for several months and are comfortable that they have made provision for enough back up stock to ensure continuation of service for up to 5 days “whatever the outcome, but there is no refrigeration or freezer space to be had anywhere”. Another local export company, who owns a vast amount of storage space, recently told the Gateway that their containers are fast being filled to maximum

capacity, due to stockpiling by concerned business owners. Successful start-up, Conker Spirit’s Rupert Holloway commented: “Our hearts are set on moving into exporting our spirits, so we hope for an outcome that supports our growth into continental Europe. That said, as a startup we are used to taking on a challenge!” Some Dorset companies are angry because of the lack of clarity. One local business (who asked to remain anonymous) stated: “Business just wants certainty and a way forward…. What are the rules? If I know what the rules are, I can deal with them and make my plans”. The Chamber Network is focused on the practicalities of Brexit for business communities across the UK. Since the referendum, the Chamber of Commerce Network has been working, together with members, to identify areas where companies have concerns and calling for government to answer those practical and pragmatic questions. The UK's departure from the EU is one of the biggest economic changes in a generation. Since the EU referendum in June 2016, business communities across the UK have faced unprecedented levels of uncertainty about future trading conditions and whilst the final outcome remains unclear, the BCC has created a Brexit Hub
Suzannah Kennedy (Dorset Gateway) Declan O’Toole (Bring Back Lunch) Anne Warner (Dorset Chamber)
to support businesses and to encourage companies of any size and sectors to consider how they may be affected. Help and practical support is available via the BCC Brexit Hub which includes: a Business Brexit Checklist; the BCC Risk Register and FAQs around the Brexit Withdrawal agreement. At the Dorset Chamber our International Trade team are available to help advise and support you through the next few months. A frequently asked question currently being posed to our International trade team is: “Our customers in Europe are asking how customs formalities will be affected after 29th March?” The team have expertise in Export and Import procedures. For advice, support and training please contact the International Trade team on: 01202 714 804 or visit the Dorset Chamber Website. On Friday 18th January, local Dorset manufacturer Lush hosted a meeting on behalf of Dorset Engineering and Manufacturing Cluster (EMC) and EEF – The Manufacturers’ Organisation. The event, which aimed to provide an insight into the conversation that EEF is having with government, highlighted some harsh implications for British manufacturers if the UK leaves the EU with a “no deal”. Stephen Phipson CBE, Chief Executive EEF, stated in no uncertain terms, that the UK is not ready to leave with “no deal” and laid out many reasons that this would cause turmoil and disruption including: new and increased customs costs and tariffs; delays and disruption at ports and the possible collapse of supply chains. Tim Thomas, Director of Employment and Skills Policy at EEF spoke informatively about the increasing issues businesses are facing due to skills shortages. For example, workers from Europe are no longer confident about their future rights to live and work in the UK and are therefore decreasing in numbers causing real concerns for all industries in Dorset. When asked “What can be done at this stage?” Stephen Phipson said that businesses should continue to contact their MPs either individually or collectively, to ensure their voices are being heard with their views represented in parliament. The Dorset Gateway is a service designed to support Dorset companies to grow and develop, to listen to and understand your business requirements and to signpost you to the best advice and support on offer to help you.

Making Tax Digital:
A Fundamental Change To Tax Administration In this article, Dorset Chamber Business Partners, PKF Francis Clark, provide practical advice and information on the forthcoming changes in the taxation system. Today, digital content is readily available on your smartphone, tablet, desktop or laptop. We expect this data to be relevant and current, and we are accustomed to paying for these services via monthly subscriptions in our personal life. So why not apply that accessibility, visibility and flexibility to the way you manage your business finances? A number already are. To quote HM Revenue and Customs: “Businesses are increasingly seeing the benefits of digitisation. Millions of businesses are already banking, paying bills and interacting with their customers or suppliers online, and many are already using accounting software.” Are you? HMRC’s ambition with ‘Making Tax Digital’ (MTD) is to become one of the most digitally advanced tax administrations in the world. In the short term this means businesses will be required to make, preserve and then submit their existing tax records digitally. Over time though it is anticipated that MTD will eliminate many of the existing paper-based processes. Thus allowing business owners to devote more time and attention to maximising business opportunities.
Key dates for the implementation of these changes April 2019: All VAT registered businesses with a taxable turnover above the VAT threshold are required to keep their VAT records digitally and send their VAT returns using functional compatible software. Note, there is a 6 month deferral for certain entities, including VAT groups and Trusts. April 2020: Businesses and Landlords will need to keep their business tax records digitally and send quarterly summaries of their income and expenses to HMRC using functional compatible software
Making Tax Digital for VAT (MTDfV) MTDfV applies to all VAT registered businesses with a taxable turnover exceeding £85,000. With effect from the first VAT return commencing on or after 1 April 2019, affected businesses must maintain their VAT records digitally within software and file the VAT return to HMRC via an application programming interface (API) not the existing Government Gateway.
This is likely to spell the end of manual cashbooks and, what we call, shoebox records. As, by the earlier of the submission of the VAT return or its due date, the VAT relevant information must be stored digitally. This is the transaction detail and not summaries. It also places a question mark over spreadsheets. Sure, the records are maintained digitally, but does your spreadsheet have an API connection to HMRC? Various parties are now developing bridging software to bridge that gap; allowing you to upload your VAT spreadsheet to the cloud and file to HMRC. But we see this approach as a sticking plaster that misses the opportunity of digitalisation and goes against the general direction of travel for business and tax administration. Larger businesses with on premise ERP solutions, or those with complex group or partial exemption calculations may also require the use of bridging software where their own systems don’t have the capability. We will also be able to offer this service to businesses who require it.
Making Tax Digital for Income Tax – pilot phase The Making Tax Digital for Income Tax pilot is already available on a voluntary basis. If a business or landlord signs up to MTD, and has no other reportable income, they will no longer be required to complete a self-assessment return. We can therefore see the direction of travel for tax administration, and just how close we are to some fundamental changes. There are currently no proposals to change the dates by which taxes have to be paid or how they are accounted for, but this has previously been discussed by HMRC with accountants and businesses. Could it be that within the next 10 years that businesses will be paying one monthly, or quarterly, sum to HMRC for all their business tax liabilities?
How can we help?

Where right for the business we recommend a move to cloud accounting. MTDfV and cloud accounting are a real opportunity to truly digitalise the way you work. There are a variety of products on the market that provide benefits beyond the basic bookkeeping functionality that can really aid a business; from the removal of the manual entry of invoices and bank transactions, to electronic payment solutions, automated debt collection, and industry specifics such as property administration, manufacturing and wholesale stock management tools, webshops and till systems, etc.
The All-New Toyota Corolla Hybrid The world-famous Corolla name returns to the UK in March with the launch of the new, 12th generation range of Hatchback and Touring Sports models. The all-new Corolla marks an important advance in the development of Toyota’s world-leading, selfcharging hybrid technology, being the first Toyota model in Europe to offer customers a choice of two hybrid powertrains – a revised 1.8-litre system and a new 178bhp 2.0-litre version that’s engineered for more power on demand, effortless acceleration and fun-to-drive character, without compromising overall fuel and emissions efficiency. As full hybrids, both powertrains have the advantage of offering an all-electric drive capability, with zero emissions and fuel consumption; both are also matched to a seamless CVT automatic transmission. 48
The choice of powertrains also includes a 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine, with six-speed manual transmission. The new Hatchback and Touring Sports are being manufactured at Toyota’s Burnaston factory in Derbyshire and are the first Corolla models to be built on the Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA) GA-C platform, bringing multiple benefits in terms of strong dynamic performance thanks to a lower centre of gravity, balanced chassis and a highly rigid body. It also contributes to increased safety and greater design freedom that’s witnessed in distinctly different styling for the Hatchback and Touring Sports versions.
February 2019 | Dorset Business Focus
Across the complete range, all models are equipped with the enhanced functions of the second generation of Toyota Safety Sense. The upgraded package includes a Pre-Collision System that can now detect pedestrians in the vehicle’s path during both day and night-time driving, and cyclists during daylight hours. The Adaptive Cruise Control has improved deceleration and acceleration control, keeping the
/company/dorset-chamber/
/dorsetchamber
Corolla a safe distance from the vehicle ahead. The ACC also has a new low-speed function for driving in stop-start traffic, bringing the car to a halt when the vehicle in front stops. Other systems include Lane Trace Assist, Road Sign Assist and Automatic High beam.
