🎯 A lot of repetitive chat and thoughts on the #budget today. ❌ Am I happy about it? No 🤔 Would I do it differently? Of Course 💡 Can I or any business leader change it? No We could sit here feeling sorry for ourselves, or we could just get on with it. I'm thinking of my grandfather today 👴, who founded pHp Architects in 1958. 🏗️ Post-WW2 recovery 💷 90% personal income tax (yes, really!) 📊 40% corporation tax by 1964 The business is still a thriving practice today, decades after his retirement and six years since he died. I've just had a look at some of their recent projects, designing buildings for the likes of DHL, Amazon, Nestlé and Volkswagen Financial Services (UK). He was my inspiration for founding Comms Search & Selection. The budget will be what it will be. While others spend weeks in boardrooms modelling scenarios, we'll be out there making things happen. 🎬 My Journey & The Story Behind Comms Search 👇 #Leadership #Entrepreneurship #Business #Resilience
