Building businesses takes tremendous stamina, and success isn't achieved without it.

British innovation in design, in the creative arts, in engineering and manufacturing is world class.

The truth won't set us free until we develop the skills and the habit and the talent and the moral courage to use it.

A thinking partner who isn't an echo chamber... How many of us dare to have such collaborators?
