After leaving school at 15 with no qualifications and completing a fouryear apprenticeship in plumbing, Charlie started his own business with just a second hand van and a bag of tools he bought at an auction.

In 1979 he saw the launch of Pimlico Plumbers from a basement of an estate agent in Pimlico, London. Now Pimlico Plumbers has a turnover of £30 million and an extensive roster of celebrity clients.

BRANDING MASTERCLASS YOUR IDEA, YOUR BUSINESS, OUR SUPPORT

Your brand is everything about your business. Make sure it has the right protection.

Behind every successful business is a good brand. Something recognisable and trustworthy. Something which ensures customer loyalty, satisfaction and retention. It’s about innovation and separating your business from the rest. But it’s also about the protection of your ideas and hard work: your intellectual property.

Without the right protection behind your brand, you leave it vulnerable to infringement, or even theft. The experts from the Intellectual Property Office will explain the importance of branding and protection.

ELEVATE YOUR BRAND AND ATTRACT BUSINESS

TURN YOUR EXPERTISE INTO ONLINE COURSES

The impression that people have about your brand makes them want to do business with you. Transform your online branding and attract business, don’t chase it.

‘We all have a course in us’, says Rafael dos Santos, the CEO of the Digital Entrepreneurs Academy ‘we help people turn their expertise into online courses’.

A brand is not simply a name. A brand includes all the associations that people have with your name, service, product, logo etc. The image your customers have about your brand shapes their buying decisions. Most businesses are not represented well online and lose out on business opportunities because of it all the time. In this masterclass you will learn how to elevate your brand and flip your position in any industry! Don’t chase business, attract business and charge the full value for the service or product you offer.

Would you like to share your knowledge with the world and be paid for it? Now you can! Rafael has developed a teaching method to help entrepreneurs turn their expertise into online courses, so you can sell over and over online! You are an expert in your field and no one can create the same course, even if they are in the same industry, so don’t wait until someone else decides to share their knowledge and grab your students!

On the 29th March 2017, the Brexit starting pistol was fired as the UK government delivered a letter to the President at the European Council, Donald Tusk, in turn triggering Article 50. The action of triggering Article 50 allows a country a time frame of two years to negotiate new arrangements to coincide with no longer being subjected to the EU treaties.

At present, approximately 44% of Britain’s goods and services exports went to other EU nations, meaning that the EU is our largest trading partner, considerably bigger than the second largest – the US - which accounted for 17% of Britain’s exports. The Government will now be considering all potential trade models for a post-Brexit Britain, including taking on the EU’s free trade deals by using the UK’s new independence to cut taxes and regulations that in turn, increase the power of the deals being made with countries around the world.

The future outlook of British trade is unclear, but as a large market, there is a clear incentive for other countries to negotiate a deal.

In these times of trade and economic uncertainty, exporters need professional advice and guidance more than ever. You can find this and much more at Going Global 2017.

TRUMP, BREXIT AND THE EU The UK is currently the world’s second biggest exporter of services and the United States takes in more of these than any other country on earth. Nonetheless, the election of a man coming from outside of the traditional political establishment means potential impacts on UK-US policymaking could be forthcoming.

Expert advisors for business in and with the United States and Europe will be on hand to provide unparalleled guidance on starting, growing and the future of expanding your business overseas.

Africa consists of more than 50 countries – all of which can offer different opportunities for an international entrepreneur.

Sub-Saharan Africa is renowned for abundant oil resources but it is increasingly gaining attention for its continuously expanding multinational companies that saw growth of 30% while developed economies were experiencing historic downturns. Companies like Blackberry, Hitachi, De Veres and JP Anderson are now investing in the continent by establishing multiple operations in Africa and working in conjunction with the countries’ small businesses.

There are massive opportunities in Africa for forward thinking UK companies to take advantage of this developing economy and the growing marketplace it represents.Visitors to Going Global 2017 will be able to speak to experts in this field about a wide variety of strategies such as how to research the market and how to find the right partners.

FOCUS ON: EMERGING EUROPE

BOOK E ONLINW NO

For the first time in a long time, Europe’s economy is doing better than forecasted. Impressively, Europe’s central, eastern and south-eastern countries are performing so well that, in terms of growth and employment, they could soon be outperforming France and Germany. Fighting against adversity, the economy of Europe has contended with a host of potentially derailing occasions; crucial elections, Brexit and of course, the election of Donald Trump over in the USA. Despite this economic growth, the general consensus for members from the countries that are part of the European Union remain conflicted. On the back of Brexit, as many as five countries that include powerhouses Netherlands, France and Germany are set to see their opposition to the EU come to fruition as populist parties driven by anti-euro campaigns are gaining traction and support in each respective country.

Going forward, despite the improvements of GDP growth for Europe’s economy being something of a recent trend, it provides an appealing platform for future stability and further growth for Europe’s economy.

The cynical views shared in opposition to things like the European Union and the Euro have a good chance of easing if these positive developments continue and the effects become noticeable to the masses.

At Going Global Live there will be experts who specialise in doing business with and in these emerging areas of Europe.

Readily available guidance and advice about operating within Europe, even in these uncertain political times, will be offered by experienced and successful industry leaders.

“The eurozone outperformed the might of the US, by reaching a GDP of 1.8% where as, across the atlantic reached 1.6%”.
