Europe - A place to do business?

With all the economic problems and whilst the Greece economy dangles over the edge you would think that Europe isn’t the safest place to be at the moment. The world is just a shrimp in terms of business these days and companies continue to expand into new territories and in some cases reaping the rewards. Vietnam has given UK publishers a marketplace for magazines and the market is busy. It’s growing out there and it shows that the best ideas can be replicated by identifying social indicators.

I always think when I first started working in the City Starbucks was a majectical place where coffee existed like no other. Now the chains have all come over and they are everywhere. I think of one, the UK version I guess would be “underground” but there are these sandwiches stores opening in places shops never existed. I do not joke when I say they built one at the end of our local Halfords car park.
That's progress though and it brings me round to what I am trying to acheive. I’ve been speaking to and growing a network it IT companies of various sizes throughout Europe, USA and other parts of the world. My philisopy is that our individuality allows us to collectivley deliver services which are tailor made for our customers. Delivering a networked solution for service in the IT world has always been there but never truly given the love it deserves. Its a vital part of our infrastrucutre, right down to the Laptop I’m bashing right now to write this. If we can network the service end of the industry and build a platform for seamless reporting then you have the ingredients for great success.
My business needs to be “organic”. Meaning that it;s made of people, and the very best at that.
