Gotta love the people who wrote this copy to entice people into the premium parking at The Trafford Centre.

Sophistication? Luxury? It’s a shopping mall car park.

A few things:

1. It’s on the upper floor and outdoors (it rains a lot in Manchester)

2. The lower floor is free.

The thing about my website audits is.... as people are finding out... it's bigger than the website.

It's about positioning.

It's being seen as a partner.

It's about being found.

It's about grabbing attention.

It's about being of interest.

It's about starting conversations.

It's about attracting the business you deserve.

Most manufacturing leaders underestimate the effort needed to win a new customer account already served by a competitor.

The reality: Research across B2B shows 7–21 touch points are needed before a prospect feels ready to talk and replace someone they are currently working with.

In manufacturing, that number is probably closer to 20 because of the gestation period, tight specification and cost / nervousness to switch.

If an incumbent supplier has been in place more than three years, the likelihood of switching drops below 20% unless a compelling event happens.

What does this mean?

You don’t win new customers with a brochure, two LinkedIn posts and a snazzy landing page!

You win them with a consistent, planned, persistent marketing and communications engine.

Be in control of your own destiny.

If you're looking at your pipeline for 2026 and are concerned, the time to do the work was probably 6-12 months ago.

The next best time is now! Or, rather Wednesday

I'll be showing you how to build that engine, step-by-step, doing the essential strategy and asset creation work before putting it in front of the people that need it most.

Unbelievable watching BBC saying the Budget was released early before Rachel Reeves has even spoken in Parliament.

£26bn tax increases the headline 😢

2% on dividends, reduction on corporation tax relief, NI on salary sacrifice perks like pensions.

Dear me.

A sales tax on houses over £1m, cars, holidays, boats (consumption) a much fairer way surely?
