When I started iQ magazine, five years ago, we were<br />
in the thick of doom and gloom. Amid the recession<br />
and banking crisis, I brought iQ to the table to bring a<br />
little positivity to the press. There is always good news<br />
to be celebrated but this was always overshadowed by<br />
the latest economic forecast or British brand either<br />
going bust or moving production out of the UK. Fast<br />
forward two years and things were looking rosy, all<br />
was stable and the economy was growing. Around the<br />
region things seemed a little more chirpy and upbeat<br />
within the business circles I socialise in. Then BOOM,<br />
we went full circle. This year we have coped with Brexit<br />
bringing an unprecedented amount of uncertainty.<br />
I felt and still feel for those whose businesses rely on<br />
exporting to and importing from the EU, and indeed<br />
the British Chambers of Commerce who have recently<br />
invested so much into encouraging and supporting their<br />
members to export. Then of course Trump, lets hope he<br />
isn’t the dissapointment we all predict; the world has its<br />
fingers crossed for this guy to succeed and not endanger<br />
everyone’s economies or world peace.<br />
So whilst things remain uncertain and unsettling, as a<br />
business owner I won’t be worrying. Why worry about<br />
the unknown? We will be keeping our head down,<br />
focusing on what we are good at: delivering a great<br />
service to our clients. So, as we look to the future, i’d like<br />
to say to all our readers and supporters of iQ magazine,<br />
here’s to a triumphant 2017.<br />
