As a friend of directors, partners and business owners, our magazines have one very simple aim, to help you run your business better.
The Winter/Spring 2020 issue is themed…
Although not specifically aimed at directors and owners of start-up businesses, the magazine content, advice and tips we share with our readers have one common goal, to help you run your business better, no matter how long you have been trading.
Our articles come from leaders of local businesses such as: Ensors Chartered Accountants, Birkett Long Solicitors, and MAD-HR, as well as Conatus Financing Solutions, Compass Point Recruitment and Source One Consulting; all who know first-hand the reality of running a business based in Suffolk and are willing to share their knowledge.
We also work in collaboration with the main business support networks in the county; the Suffolk Chamber of Commerce, IoD Suffolk, the New Anglia Local Enterprise Partnership and MENTA.
Our lead interview in the INNOVATE issue of Suffolk Director Business Magazine is Peter Wilson, Group MD of CORY BROTHERS based in Ipswich.
