DEBBIE KEEBLE

MD, TANGLE TEEZER

FOUNDER OF HECK! PREMIUM SAUSAGE RANGE

FROM FARMERS’ MARKETS TO SUPERMARKETS From kitchen table recipes to delighting fans across the country, Debbie Keeble has achieved the remarkable feat of rapid growth in the notoriously saturated British food market, successfully becoming the UK’s number one premium sausage range with more than £12m turnover in four years. Debbie is the pig farmer-turned-food producer who, following a previous venture, decided to take the bold move of starting again from scratch with HECK, with the aim to make farmers’ market quality sausages for the British high street and a vision to create a sustainable, family business that her four children could become involved in and eventually take over the running of.

Debbie Keeble – Heck Foods

In fact, her children hold senior positions in the company – as do several of their close friends – and they can truly relate to the family’s ‘what the heck’ attitude, a mantra that inspired the company name and which stems from Debbie learning not to wait for opportunity to knock but to go out and make it happen for yourself. HECK was recently ranked fourth in the Sunday Times Virgin Fast Track 100 and scooped the 2015 Telegraph Festival of Business Award.

Tangle Teezer created a whole new category in hair care and has achieved global recognition in a remarkably short space of time. It now exports 82% of its £23m in sales to 67 countries, has won two Queen’s Awards and is a Fast Track 100 company. Matt will be interviewed by Hunter Ruthven, editor of Businessadvice.co.uk, a partner of The Business Show, and which focuses solely on serving the “engine room” of the British economy: the micro companies.

JAMES KETCHELL

SERIAL ADVENTURER

WEDNESDAY | 13.15 KEYNOTE THEATRE 1

LESSONS ON PERSISTENCE AND SURVIVAL A global adventurer, motivational speaker, Scouting ambassador, and inspirational pioneer, James Ketchell has lived his life defying the odds and smashing through physical and mental boundaries to go where no person has gone before. Following a serious motorbike accident with the prognosis that he would suffer permanent walking impairment, James decided to respond to this challenge in the only way he knew how, and with dogged determination, set about physical tasks that most of us can only imagine experiencing.

The Power of Persistence Organising and logistics: the need for a network; setting intermediate goals. Setting the context: just how hard is it to cross the Atlantic, summit Everest and cycle round the world? Rising to the challenge: what happened, what went wrong, what went right? Always trying to turn negatives into positive opportunities and driving for results. Motivation: why do it? What motivates James? What could motivate you to set yourself challenging goals and then achieve them?

Today James is still the first and only person that has completed all three of the world’s most challenging tasks: rowing singlehanded across the Atlantic, reaching the summit of Mount Everest, and embarking on an 18,000 mile unsupported global cycle through 20 countries. James extends his involvement to help young people by motivating and inspiring them. He is one of Hampshire’s Scouting ambassadors, where he aims to raise the profile of scouting. This year sees James take on more world record challenges, and he has a number of exciting TV documentaries in the pipeline.

Oh, and he no longer has to live and work out of his parents’ spare room. Marc memorably secured investment on Dragons’ Den and has since benefitted

hugely from the expertise of the two Dragons he ended up working with, Nick Jenkins and Sarah Willingham. Along the way Marc has won a Great British Entrepreneur Award and he’s been recognised as Young Entrepreneur of the Year. Marc has received further acclaim from other sources: Forbes labelled him a “visionary”, he’s been shortlisted in Sir Richard Branson’s ‘Pitch to Rich’, and even been the subject of praise from Downing Street… but far more importantly to Marc, he’s succeeded in making science awesome for more than half a million children!

Sublime Science: From a Prince’s Trust Loan to Dragons’ Den The story of how Marc (that guy who walked into Dragons’ Den firing smoke rings) went from a £1,750 Prince’s Trust loan to a seven figure national company with a couple of Dragons on-board is an awesome one. Oh, and a warning: watch out for the smoke rings!

MIDAS TOUCH PITCH TO A PANEL OF MILLIONAIRE INVESTORS

Are you an entrepreneur looking to take your business to the next level? Don’t miss this chance to pitch to an expert panel of investors who have all built up their own £multi-million business – and could help you do the same. Could you convince one of these four millionaires to invest in your business idea or model in just five minutes? That’s how long you’ll have to impress the panel with your business acumen, vision and potential profitability as you do your best to persuade them to put their money where your mouth is in the most important pitch of your life. Midas Touch is an exciting live show featuring a Dragons’ Den-style panel of millionaire entrepreneurs. These Rockstar mentors have on average built up and sold one of their companies for a sale price of £18million, so they know a business with great potential when they see it – and how to make good on that promise. If you think you could be the next big thing, then this is an unmissable opportunity to get in front of an active investor base from varying sectors of the same network. This promises to give you not only up to four honest and varied expert opinions on the viability of your business, but a genuine ‘next step’ for everyone who pitches that could see you

banking a cheque or receiving the mentoring you need to get you investor-ready. Whether you have a cutting edge technology solution to today’s hottest problems, or you’ve identified a gap in the service market, you will have the panel’s undivided attention. The only limit is your imagination. Previous shows have brought us pitches that range from quirky to creative as the investors sort the flawed from the fabulous and find the gem that is too valuable not to invest in. 24 contestants will compete over the course of the two days to make the best pitch of the show and earn the title of ‘Innovator of the Show’, with the winner being announced in the last session on

Thursday. It’s a great opportunity for entrepreneurs who are ready to make their pitch and looking to attract investment, but Midas Touch is also a fantastic spectator event. Every pitch is made in front of a live audience and with the stakes so high, it makes

BUSINESS CONNECTIONS CONNECT WITH THOUSANDS OF NEW PROSPECTS, PARTNERSHIPS AND SUPPLIERS

Quite possibly the easiest way you’ll ever make contact with tens of thousands of serious business people… As Europe’s biggest business exhibition and conference with 25,000 visitors attending across its two days, every one of The Business Show’s visitors is a potential business partner, supplier, or client. It’s an amazing hotbed of networking on a scale that you just can’t find anywhere

else. The problem is that even if you spent all day everyday doing nothing other than networking on the show floor you will still only have reached a tiny portion of your potential contacts. If only there was a way you could let everyone know what you’re looking for and that you take your business seriously enough to attend Europe’s fastest growing business event…that’s where Business Connections comes in!

Business Connections is always a huge draw at The Business Show because it is such an easy and efficient way to reach out to tens of thousands of visitors every bit as serious about their business as you are about yours. The idea of Business Connections is simple: proudly write your conex pin to the wall for all to see. If you`re looking to make a particular kind of connection, say so - and potential partners will write their

pin on to your request. Make sure you scan the wall for people looking for what you can offer and respond by writing your pin on their request and pick up some extra clients! It’s beautifully straightforward and hugely effective, which is why many of our regular visitors make a beeline straight for it when the doors open.

CHAMPIONS OF SMALL BUSINESS Champions of Small Business is a national initiative dedicated to celebrating & supporting all that’s great about small business in the UK. We believe there is a severe lack of support and understanding about the needs of modern business owners and it amazes us in the UK you need a licence to fish, yet can start a business, be VAT registered and employ people without any idea at all of your responsibilities. This just seems crazy to us and so we’re ensuring that small business owners, wherever they are in their journey, not only feel supported but have all the tools needed in order to achieve success. At it’s core is a free online resource; www.championsofsmallbusiness.co.uk includes tonnes of practical advice in the form of useful downloads, ebooks & toolkits for all aspects of business, along with inspiring content from industry leaders and access to exclusive offers (we’ll even give you some targeted sales data,

free of charge, just for signing up, along with a priority listing on the UK’s largest business only online business directory) . This is all backed up with an online community with live events and webinars. Anyone can be a Champion, and our numbers are growing daily! Whether you’re a big brand looking to help small businesses flourish, a thought leader looking to share knowledge, an established business owner looking to save time & money, or a budding entrepreneur at the start of your journey, this initiative is here to support your success.

ABOUT BUSINESS SCENE - THE FOUNDERS OF CHAMPIONS

We’re here to create the perfect environment for you to start, grow and maintain a business by providing a modern approach to business membership. It’s been developed with you in mind and our industry leading benefit package focuses around 4 key areas essential to any business; Growth, Savings, Protection & Support. But what really sets us apart is just how much we care about our members’ success. Champions of Small Business has been launched so that we can help more start-ups, entrepreneurs and small business owners right across the UK no matter where they are in their journey.

THE CHAMPIONS SEMINAR HALL

We’ll be joined by our industry expert thought leaders who’ll be delivering content in a variety of formats. From punchy presentations packed full of takeaway tips to interactive discussions and panels.

We’re going to spend 2 days inspiring you with amazing content that’s relevant to you and your business success.

THE WORST BUSINESS DISEASE Spare capacity can be a real killer for any business, yet like heart attacks, most people are blissfully unaware that there is even a problem! Nearly 80% of people who have an idea or a passion and put it into practise by opening a business work long hours and put in the hard grind, yet fail (this is a statistical FACT!) There are two distinct failure points: In the first 12 months, where they are simply under-capitalised, lose the passion, or fail to come to grips with the day-to-day reality of spinning plates, juggling balls, and standing on one leg! The other is during a growth phase where supply chains and dealing with employing staff cause cash flow shortages which end up in crises if not dealt with soon enough. One of the factors is that business owners fail to do something about the biggest hidden asset in their business – its spare capacity opportunity.

“BBX UK…work with businesses of all shapes, sizes, verticals, and stages of development from pre start-up to multi-national corporations”

Some people know they spare capacity but ignore it, as if they had the answer they would have done something about it a long time ago! Others do not even think about what it is let alone do something about it. What is spare capacity? It is the ability to take on more work, more jobs, more customers, more appointments, sell more stock, sell more covers, sell more rooms, and fill empty spaces – without increasing FIXED costs. Take this example: A hotel has 20 rooms, it sells them for an average of £100 a night and has a yearly occupancy of 70%. This would mean it generates an annual income of £511,000 (a good business!). But what about the six rooms on average that remain unsold every night? In this case once tomorrow arrives the revenue opportunity perishes forever! The value of this unsold capacity is a staggering £219,000! What would the hotel owner do with this additional revenue if some of it could be captured? Do more marketing, do some upgrade to the property, lead a nicer lifestyle… I’m sure you could think of many things! BBX UK (The Bank of Spare Capacity) work with businesses of all shapes, sizes, verticals, and stages of development from pre start-up to multi-national corporations. We offer a free consultation with one of our

growth analysts to see if your circumstances suit our solution. Our platform is based on a no win no fee guarantee that states that if we do not manage to attract new customers to your business there is no fee! In addition, we offer interest free credit to allow you to buy things to grow your business, gain a better lifestyle, or sell your business for a higher amount – this also has no set repayment time frame and you pay back any loan by taking on more customers when you have spare capacity! • • • • • • •

Guaranteed New Customers Improve Cash Flow Enhanced Profits Increase Market Share Interest Free Credit Facility Access to a Global Business Community in Over 11 Countries Opportunity to Network With LikeMinded Individuals

If any of this is of interest you should visit our stand where we can set up a FREE taster account with BBX£200 to spend in the hope you’ll like our platform and want to open an ongoing operational account.

ANGEL INVESTING

FROM START-UP TO

Angel investing is on the up, but representation outside of London and representation of women both need a boost. Angel Investors have backed many of the UK’s successful entrepreneurs, bringing both finance and experience to support “Spenses an the UK’s angel investment growth.is Yet expense solution finance landscape has changed thatsignificantly brings teams over recent years.

together to give more investors have entered full Many visibility and the market, driven through a range control across the of developments such as the Seed business”

Enterprise Investment Scheme and the rise in equity crowdfunding and online platforms. Angels are also co-investing alongside many different sources of finance, including crowdfunding, venture capital funds, and debt instruments and innovation grants. This enables angels to be there at start-up and continue

SCALE-UP

to support the business through its growth cycle, in some cases through to acquisition, or to an IPO. Another change is in the face of UK angel investing. Over 40% of angels are now under 45 years old, as revealed in our research ‘Nation of Angels’ (January 2015), which UKBAA carried out with the Centre for Entrepreneurs and the Enterprise Research Centre. The research also showed women represent only 14% of the overall angel population. Another exciting development is an increase in successful entrepreneurs becoming angel investors, bringing finance and experience into the next generation of growth entrepreneurs. Yet with all these opportunities and developments, bringing more individuals into the angel market is required, especially outside of London and the South East. However, at UKBAA we recognise that it’s not sufficient to only mobilise angel investment, we also

need to ensure all sources of finance are connected across the country. We must work together to ensure there’s an effective finance pathway that enables entrepreneurs across every region in the UK to achieve their full growth potential and become the tomorrow’s global success story!

EXPENSE MANAGEMENT MADE SIMPLE Spenses provides businesses of all sizes with a solution to the time intensive and paper heavy expense management process. When designing a tool to help companies better manage their business expenses and travel records, we chose to look at the company as a whole and not just the end users or the finance process. Spenses is an expense solution that brings teams together to give full visibility and control across the business. Spenses is available on multiple platforms allowing employees to record their business activity as it happens; they simply capture the receipt or journey on their phone or tablet and file the record.

PLUGGING SMALL BUSINESSES INTO THE COMMS REVOLUTION STAND NUMBER 2600

Back in the late 1990s, ‘serial entrepreneur’ Peter Gradwell was juggling working on his first start-up with university studies… …when he realised that his business, and thousands of other SMEs, could really benefit from a simpler, ‘one-stop shop’ approach to their communications technology needs. That was the idea which prompted him to set up Gradwell Communications and now, nearly 20 years later, he remains an integral part of the business which has grown to employ about 70 staff, mainly at its Bath headquarters, and looks after more than 22,000 customers – mainly SMEs – guiding them towards the right solutions across the ‘three Cs’ of their communications needs: calling,

connectivity, and cloud. “We like to solve the challenges of meeting individual business’ particular communications needs, and, whatever their size and ambitions for the future, see ourselves as a partner who can support them as they grow, and provide solutions which adapt to their changing needs,” said Mr Gradwell.

“We like to solve the challenges of meeting individual business’ particular communications needs…” “We don’t supply companies with ‘one size fits all’ solutions to their telecoms and IT needs,” Mr Gradwell promises. “And throughout their time as a customer of ours, businesses can take advantage of our dedicated,

UK-based ongoing support, operating from our headquarters in Bath, making us simpler to work with”. As well as directly supplying and servicing a large and growing customer base, Gradwell Communications is paving the way for continued expansion by working alongside a select group of affiliate partners who re-sell its services and packages, enabling it to expand its geographical reach. “This is another way in which we are backing business growth, as many of these partners are themselves small businesses. So they fully appreciate the demands and concerns of their customers, talk to them in language they understand, and work collaboratively with them to find telecoms and Internet solutions which meet their needs now and well into the future”.

AN INTRODUCTION TO TRADE MARKS

The importance of protecting your brand and the commercial benefits your business will receive from obtaining intellectual property rights.

A brand is an umbrella term that refers to the broad spectrum of identifiers used by traders to create an overall image of their business, company, or products so the consumer can distinguish their goods and services from those of other traders. The constituent elements of a brand typically consist of words, logos, names, slogans, letters, and numerals, as well as less traditional identifiers such as colours, sounds, and the shape of goods or their packaging. Examples of these include the word ‘Google’, the Nike ‘swoosh’ logo, and the shape of the chocolate ‘Lindt bunny’. Trade mark law is a branch of intellectual property law that provides a legal framework to protect the different elements of a brand (also known as ‘signs’), where they are capable of communicating the trade origin of specific goods and services to the consumer. The legal protection afforded to distinctive signs is conferred by way of trade mark registration; this provides the owner of the registered trade mark with the exclusive right to use the mark and to object to others using any identical or confusingly similar marks without their consent. Trade marks are territorial in scope so the right of an owner to

exclusively use and enforce their mark against third parties is limited to the geographical boundaries of the country or economic union in which the trade mark is registered. Although trade marks are generally national rights, there are a number of systems that make it possible to extend the scope of a trade mark beyond national borders. An example of this is the European Union Trade Mark which provides the owner with a unitary right that covers all 28 member states of the European Union through a single registration.

“…a trade mark registration provides statutory mechanisms through which to safeguard the market share, reputation, value, and goodwill of a brand” There are a number of benefits afforded by trade mark registration. A brand has the potential to become one of the most valuable assets owned by a business and a trade mark registration provides statutory mechanisms

through which to safeguard the market share, reputation, value, and goodwill of a brand by enabling the owner to object to the use and/or registration of any identical or confusingly similar marks by competitors or other third parties. As a piece of personal property, a trade mark has the capacity to develop financial value and can be sold, licenced, and used as security for a loan, mortgage, or other debt instrument. It is also one of the only intellectual property rights that can potentially last forever as in most jurisdictions a trade mark can be renewed every ten years in perpetuity provided that the mark is being used in accordance with local laws. As a general rule, trade mark registration is a ‘first-to-file’ system, so it is important to seek professional advice before launching a new brand or product to guard against the possibility of a third party filing an earlier application. An earlier application could potentially operate as an insurmountable bar to use and/or registration of a proposed mark which could have huge cost implications if a significant amount of time and money has been invested in the design, development, marketing, and advertising of the brand or product.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR CUSTOMERS:

MAXIMISING YOUR PROFITS Entrepreneurs often don’t succeed as they fail to fully understand their existing or potential customers and/or competition. Market research helps to reduce risks by getting the product, price, and promotion right from the beginning.

Market research doesn’t have to be expensive, but it does need to be appropriate for the research challenge. Follow these top tips to ensure a successful research campaign... Step 1: Define the research challenge What answers are required from the research? And how will the information be used? Step 2: Decide on a methodology This will depend on the research challenge, timescales, and budget. Often a mix of methodologies is required (primary research, including qualitative and quantitative techniques or secondary research). Write the research materials taking into account the questions to be answered and the methodology. For qualitative research, this is likely to be a discussion framework; for quantitative research this will be a questionnaire with more direct, closed questions. Step 3: Ensure robust and representative data Decide on who should be included in the research: is your product or service for everyone or a subset of the population? How will you collect the data? Online tools provide cost effective solutions, but it may be that face-to-face interviews provide a more inclusive and representative sample. Beware of just asking family and friends about your ideas as they are likely to be more positive than the actual market.

Step 4: Data analysis and reporting Data analysis can range from simple tabulations to advanced statistical techniques. When undertaking analysis consider the strategic questions to be answered and the number of people in the sample – the larger the sample, the more likely the results are to reflect your target audience.

and business development. The team has over 15 years of experience in developing and delivering qualitative and quantitative market research programmes, turning this data into insights and delivering real business change. They have worked with SMEs through to international companies across a wide variety of sectors, including transport, telecoms, financial services, insurance, retail, and FMCG.

Step 5: Act on the findings Be sure to act on the findings of the research – listen to the feedback in order to maximise the business opportunity. Market research will enable you to build solid assumptions around reach, price, and customer behaviour that will form the basis of a cost benefit analysis. A go-to-market plan will document in detail the specifics around marketing channels, communications, and promotions. Comprehensive business requirements are essential for an accurate assessment of implementation cost, and should cover all business functions. Data collection and reporting are fundamental to being able to measure the change and make further refinements. Step 6: Assess the market on a regular basis Competitors’ products and services and existing and potential customers are continually changing. What suits the market today may not be the most appropriate in a year’s time. Regular market assessments will help you stay ahead of your competitors.
