In the latest Elite Business Live session, Oli Barrett spoke to Andrea Reynolds, founder and CEO of Swoop funding; Michael Hayman, Chair & Co-Founder, Seven Hills; Lara Morgan, founder Pacific Direct and Piers Linney founder of Moblox and former Dragon’s Den dragon.
It was a panel chock-a-block with experience of developing a business from scratch, finding and securing investment and, of course, familiarity with the usual slings and arrows that all business leaders face along the path to success and/or failure.
And the key theme was about making the right decisions at the right time. Knowing when to expand, when to seek investment and how and when and how to pivot away from something that might not be working, in a way that provides continuity and a future for your business.

Big Tech is firing employees by the thousands. Why? And how worried should we be?
The tech sector has seen explosive growth in the past two years. The pandemic saw a dramatic rise in the hybrid working model as employees left the office to work from home. This saw major firms such as Amazon and Facebook hire thousands of workers, doubling their headcounts in a matter of months. Now with a potential recession looming, tech companies are laying off workers left and right. In the last year, more than 70,000 people globally have been laid off by Big Tech companies. What has led to this massive shake-up?
Hannah Prevett spoke to Kim Antoniou, founder and CEO of Auris Tech, Ketan Makwana, Tedx, speaker, author and mentor, Melissa Snover, founder and CEO of Nourished, and Will Hale, Group Director EMEA at Monday.com at the Tech Show in London, Excel on Wednesday, March 8.
