This past Friday I had the privilege of photographing the
SME Growth Accelerator Clinic in the offices of PayPal in Richmond. Rarely have I attended a workshop as
enjoyable and worthwhile: its aim to help the vital SME sector address the
challenges that hinder their growth. The
importance of this segment of the supply side of the economy was underscored by
the presence and speeches by Vince Cable and Zac Goldsmith. Our local mayor, Meena Bond showed her support
as well. I found particularly vital and
interesting the talk about the importance and opportunity of sustainable
business practices and the unintended consequences of changes in planning regulations
to increase the housing stock. Many congratulations to Helen Roberts of CGP for a great event.
