Happy 1st MBO anniversary to River Capital equity portfolio business Barons Contract Furniture - can’t believe it’s been a year already!! It's been great to work with all the team at Baron's, including Managing Director Garry Smith and Chair Gary Lasham. As outlined in the post below, there’s been a massive amount achieved in what is a relatively short period, and the future looks equally exciting as the business continues to deliver on its growth opportunities. And you? Are you like Garry, an MD in a North West based SME business you wish to acquire? Or do you own an SME and are considering your exit plans which may potentially include passing the business on to your management team? Always happy to talk and see if we can help .... #fuellingambition #MBO #investment #growth #equity

nothing beats teamwork and consistency...

Consistency, determination, purpose, Integrity. Why should one have these qualities?

Wisdom from Tom Brady 🏆 He recently shared some powerful insights on achieving success. What I’m taking away from him: Hard Work 💪 -Success isn’t an accident. It’s the result of relentless preparation and dedication. Consistency 🔄 -Maintain a high standard of performance over time. Show up every day, regardless of challenges. Teamwork 🤝 -No one achieves greatness alone. It’s about the collective effort and synergy of the entire team.

THE TERM ‘COWBOY’ " IS ROOTED IN BLACK HISTORY Regardless of what Hollywood and mainstream culture show us, Black cowboys were not a rare spectacle on the range, and the profession was an opportunity to experience freedom and survive racism. Post-Civil War, approximately one out of four cowboys was Black. Most held occupations such as bodyguards, nurses, and cooks, as they accompanied white riders on their travels. But Black cowboy culture is much deeper than that. In American history, white cowboys were originally called cowhands, while Black cowhands were called Cowboys. The cow from cowhand was intertwined with the racist, derogatory term “boy” often used against Black men to shame and demean their social standing. However, Black cowhands were far from childlike in their skillsets. Throughout the 1800s, Black cowboys obtained their expertise through performing tasks that employers or slave owners wouldn’t or didn’t have the skill sets to do, such as taming wild horses, rounding up herds of livestock, and traveling through rough terrain. Black cowboys still exist all across the country today, and their work helped shape this country. Their story also reminds us of an important truth: we should always be the ones to tell our stories because we cannot trust others to speak for us. #americanhistory #africanamericanhistory
