Are You Ready to Stop Playing Small? Enter the Wellingborough & East Northants Chamber of Commerce Awards Let’s cut the fluff: If you’re not putting your business out there, you’re missing a massive opportunity. The Wellingborough & East Northants Chamber of Commerce Awards are more than just a chance to pick up a shiny trophy—they’re your chance to step up, prove your worth, and get some serious recognition for the work you’ve been putting in. I hear too many business owners moan about “not getting the attention they deserve.” Well, here’s your wake-up call—this is how you get it. By entering. By showing up. By competing. It’s not just about winning (though that doesn’t hurt, does it?); it’s about demonstrating to your customers, competitors, and even your team that you’re not content with staying in the shadows. Think about what it says when you put your business forward: 🏆 Visibility: You get eyes on your business that you’ve never had before. 🏆 Credibility: Just being a finalist can be a game-changer for how people perceive your brand. 🏆 Momentum: Win or lose, the PR, the buzz, the networking—it all counts towards growth. So, are you going to take action and showcase the real impact your business is making? Or are you going to sit on the sidelines while others claim the spotlight? And listen—if you’re thinking of not entering because “it’s just not your thing,” that’s your ego talking. Leave that nonsense behind. This is the perfect chance to push your business to the next level. You’ve got nothing to lose—just credibility, connections, and potential clients to gain. The deadline’s looming. Get your entry in and stop playing small. #WellingboroughChamberAwards #BusinessGrowth #Recognition #NoExcuses

🚀 We had an absolute ‘blast’ at our TC Group Quarterly Business Review (QBR) earlier this month which was held at the National Space Centre. It was great to see our Hertford, Leicester, Milton Keynes, Northampton and Southampton offices come together to update them on our most recent business updates and of course, as always, celebrate the great work our team do for our clients and our business too. We had a lot to cover… so what did we talk about? 📈 Updates & performance from our Offices and Service Line heads. 🧑🤝🧑 Our Employee Board had their largest slot yet, updating everyone on their client and team-focused projects, as well as survey results and their next steps. 🏆 This quarter’s Values Awards winners – congratulations Ana Iliescu, Gemma Rutland, Stacey Connor, and Jane Midlane! We had a record number of nominations 👍🏼 The results of our client experience surveys were shared. An incredible score of 9.4 out of 10 from our clients. We couldn’t achieve this without our teams working together effectively. A real team effort 🧑🤝🧑 Our People – we heavily focus on our team at the heart of everything we do. That’s why we’re constantly re-evaluating and looking at our company perks and benefits, as well as accommodating as much as possible to each generation within our team. 🤩 Even more interaction through Slido surveys and polling including a Board Q&A. 📊 Our new wins and sales and growth plans were shared by Tom Dymond … and a whopping score of 8.5 from our people on the “Would you recommend TC Group to Friends and Family” question! 🎉 Thank you so much to National Space Centre for having us for our offsite QBR, and to every member of our team for making it such a success! It really was ‘out of this world’… 🪐   #Culture #BusinessUpdate #Values #QBR #BusinessAdvisors #Accountants #WeAreTCGroup  

Since the announcement of the finalists in this year’s EADT Suffolk Business Awards, I’ve been reflecting on the unexpected insights and learnings of being on ‘that side’ of the award process. For those who don’t know, we’ve been lucky enough to be on the recipient end of a judging panel (and to have emerged victorious twice). The very practice of allowing that external assessment of yourself and your business is, as so many of you know only too well, somewhat intimidating – no matter how sure you are of your business and your experience. This time, however, and having historically won the Customer Service category in both Suffolk and Norfolk, I felt incredibly honoured to be asked to judge this particular category. Initially, I found myself thinking ‘this will be a breeze’, and that I had nothing to fear or consider. What I found, however, is that it was far more of an opportunity for self-reflection and benchmarking than I might have considered prior to taking part. How can you not be faced with an entry or a conversation from a vibrant goal-setting business, and not find yourself looking at how this compares to what you do, or how you reached this point in the journey? I’m someone who has always been of the view that a child can teach an adult as much as the adult can teach the child – and I suppose this exercise is similar. I learned from their desire, entrepreneurship and their unique approaches to managing customer interaction. My takeaways for anyone considering being a business award judge: -           Do your homework on the business and seek to raise questions which are truly beneficial for your learning of them and their understanding of you. -           Be self-reflective (not selfish) throughout the process, considering whether the activity leads itself to more learning and development you might require. -           Embrace the chance to extend your network and relationships in directions you may never have considered. -           Take time to reflect on the process with your own colleagues or peers, being sure to bring to mind particular areas which now seem evident for your own business improvement or for your chance to become active in the art of mentoring. Good luck to all of the finalists from myself and the MAD-HR Ltd team.
