Tuesday 23rd Feb – Ideas Create Value – ideas are the life blood of any business, but not all ideas create value. If you’ve ever said to yourself ‘I wish I’d thought of that’, then maybe you need to find out more about how creating ideas with measurable value through collaboration, challenge and change can deliver the wow factor you’re looking for. Plus discover what measurable value really means to your business.
Tuesday 2nd March – Creating Value from your Brand and Reputation – is there anything that an SME can learn from a global giant? Venetia Howes managed the Shell brand for the past 9 years and is now a sole trader. She will share her learning and show how the principles can be applied in all businesses, regardless of size and budget.
Tuesday 16th March – Driving Value to your Bottom Line – In this fast-paced 1 hour workshop, you will learn powerful, practical sales and marketing strategies to add value to your bottom line…NOW! Come along and hear Paul deliver his dynamic mix of fundamental marketing concepts and ideas, along with a wealth of easy-to-implement techniques taken from his new book ‘Business SOS’ – which his coaching clients are using right now to grow their own businesses.

Many aspects surrounding the marketing strategy and customer service delivery will be explored.
Tuesday 20th April – The Kudos Effect – Writing a book is the greatest way of positioning yourself as the top expert in your field. Once you’ve written your book – what then? Ayd Instone describes how the world of publishing has changed, in unexpected ways – in your favour. He’ll show how self-publishing works, the biggest mistakes to avoid and describe why the look of your book is, in some ways, more important than the content.
Tuesday 27th April – Employee Engagement – a seminar led by a guest speaker from Oxford Brookes University will communicate how to market internally to your staff. Emphasis will be on creating the right culture within the organisation to support your business and in turn reduce absenteeism.

BIOMED-Connect (London) – Successful collaborations at the franco-british meeting place for Medical diagnostics and equipment
On October 12th 2009, the first edition of the BIOMED-Connect proved a successful meeting
place for French and UK players in the fields of medical diagnostics and equipment.
Sud de France Export, as the Southern French Trade Commission’s organiser, was pleased to invite all delegates to “BIOMED-Connect”. This event was aimed at all those involved with medical diagnostics and medical equipment who wished to meet their industry colleagues and build new relationships.
Up to 100 meetings took place at the day-long event, held in London at the Languedoc-Roussillon trade commission office. Several of the industry’s brightest French organisations were present, including Bio-Rad Laboratories, Cisbio International (in vitro diagnostic biological biomarkers), CNRS (detection of mutation and theranostics), Genepep (therapeutic peptide specialist), Proteus (discovery, engineering and manufacturing of proteins of industrial interest), Languedoc-Roussillon Regional Council (Bio-Health Innovation), Skultech (Genomic biomarkers for diagnostic/drug co-development), and Sysdiag (diagnosis of human diseases).
Eight inter-regional French delegates with European ambitions had successful meetings with both public- and private sector organisations from the UK.
The EuroMeDiag workgroup, part of the Eurobiomed competitiveness cluster on human health, was spotlighted at the evening conference. As the first successful collaboration Euromediag has recently submitted a European project in collaboration with Mr. Jeremy Nicholson, Chair in Biological Chemistry, from Imperial College, London.
Mr. David Doughty, Chief Executive of OxfordshireEconomic Partnership, had very fruitful discussions with Languedoc-Roussillon Regional Council, which
will lead to closer partnership working between the
two regions in the future.
Mr. David Laskow-Pooley, Managing Director from
Pharmafor Ltd : “Following a highly successful
introductory meeting Oxford Expression
Technologies (OET Ltd), an Oxfordshire based
company, has already followed through into
further meaningful discussions with Sysdiag and
mutual collaboration is now set to follow.”
Leader’s blog: working in partnership for the economy
Published on: 24 Nov 2009
I recently attended the Oxfordshire Economic Partnership Dinner at the Randolph Hotel with some 100 other guests. This is a great opportunity to speak with new and old contacts – an immensely important part of my job if I am to stay in contact with views and opinions in our county.
I shared a table inter alia with (in alphabetical order!) Janet Beer (Brookes Vice Chancellor); Chris Harris (developer of Bicester Village and the proposed Bicester Business Park); Stephen Jones (MD of London-Oxford Airport); Rob Jonckheer (Partner, Manches Oxford); John Leighfield (Chairman of Research Machines); Warren Ralls (SEEDA Director for Oxfordshire); Martin Sutton (MD of Stagecoach Oxford) and others.
The guest speaker was Baroness Susan Greenfield who demonstrated intellectual skill and oratorical pre-eminence alongside an amazing ability for a senior academic to adopt a youthful dress style.
The Oxfordshire Economic Partnership’s stated aim is to help sustain Oxfordshire’s world-class economy and its status as a great place to live, work, learn and play. Its membership is made up of the county council, district councils, The Mid-Counties Co-operative Limited, The University of Oxford, Cochranes of Oxford Ltd, Oxford Brookes University, Science Oxford, the Thames Valley Chamber of Commerce & Industry and the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority.
Each of those organisations knows the importance of a strong economic recovery for Oxfordshire and believe the county is well placed to be able to look forward to emergence from recession with confidence

Business IT Guide
About the Guide
e-skills UK, working with over 200 small businesses and leading industry experts, has developed the ’Business IT Guide‘ (the Guide). This online tool is designed to help small businesses identify ICT that could help their business, through a wide range of high quality business IT advice, and to support them in taking action. The Guides will:
- Increase confidence by providing quality, trusted, relevant advice on demand
- Improve awareness and understanding of the business benefits of different technologies
- Improve competence by providing targeted information written by professionals
- Aid successful action and implementation through guidance and support
Who is it for?
The Guide is aimed mainly at smaller businesses, with fewer than 10 staff, but will be of use to any business that does not have dedicated internal ICT expertise (typically organisations with up to as many as 25 people). The Guide can be used by anybody within such a business to explore how ICT could help their business make money, save time, save money and avoid problems.
Examples of content
Choosing the right website for your business
Cloud Computing
Securing Computer data
Tracking financial data
A few words from some supporters
Colin Willman, FSB – Education, Skills & Business Support Chairman:
The FSB is supportive of the Business IT Guide and is pleased that the needs of micro and small businesses are being addressed, particularly as the Guide is written by those with small business experience.”
Stephanie Burgess, Microsoft Small Business Centre:
We were so impressed with the Business IT Guide we recommend it on our own small business website.”
The OEP is delighted to announce that it has joined up with NFEA, the national enterprise network, Business Link and Oxfordshire Business Enterprises to offer a free training seminar providing guidance on how to start a business and survive and thrive in this climate. The seminar is open to all those exploring the dream of working for themselves.
The event will take place during Global Entrepreneurship Week, on 16th November from 5.30 pm until 9.00 pm at the Oxford Spires Hotel. Let’s Talk Starting in Business is sponsored by Barclays and is for people who are about to set up; it focuses on how to write a good business plan, source finance and manage cash flow, and also examines legal requirements, taxation and VAT and marketing.
 The seminar will be delivered by Tom Edge – a leading motivational speaker who has helped over 25,000 individuals through his programs.
For over 25 years Tom Edge has been successfully helping small businesses set up, survive and prosper, to the extent that he is now seen as the UK’s Number One Business Guru.
Age is no barrier. One of Tom’s missions is to get the Over 50’s into business for themselves by providing encouragement and insight to anyone thinking of starting their own enterprise or who are already up and running but need fresh inspiration. Tom has helped over 25,000 businesses in this way through his Seminars and Workshops, and even though he has a string of blue-chip companies under his belt he prefers to help smaller and one-person businesses wherever he can, setting up his own company ‘Training Projects’ – to do so, running Enterprise Awareness Seminars for the Over 50’s, Women In Business and minority groups.
A successful businessman in his own right (he was running a small steelworks by the age of 32) Tom is practical and down to earth. He has no airs and graces – he tells it like it is with a sprinkle of warm Black Country humour. And at 61 he’s a ‘Baby Boomer’ who knows very well what the Boomers want and need – and can give it to them.

Horizons & Futures Issue 1 Summer
Horizons & Futures Issue 2 Autumn – due out September 2009
Horizons & Futures Issue 3 Winter – due out January 2010
”I suspect the current recession will reveal the true worth of family companies to the economy. Their direct ownership and prudent financial approach will enable them to withstand the effects of the ‘credit crunch’ and emerge with their skilled labour force intact.”
Roger Pedder, Former Chairman, C & J Clark Ltd (Clarks Shoes)
Coutts & Co’s Oxford office has embarked on its search to identify contenders for the Coutts Prize for Family Business 2009/10. The awards, now in their fifth year, represent the only regional programme in England and Wales celebrating the overall best performing medium-sized and large family businesses within three regions; Northern England and The Midlands; London & Greater London; and Southern England and Wales.
Mark Cozens, Private Banker for Coutts in Oxford commented. “Up to 75% of businesses in Oxfordshire are run by families and across the UK these family businesses account for a large share of UK GDP and employment. They also enter each and every one of our lives far more than we realise, from the wine we drink and the cars we drive to the offices and homes we work and live in. Yet even today, much of their work goes largely unrecognised by society and they get very little help with tackling the unique challenges they face in areas such as business succession.”
Mark Evans, Head of Wealth Institute, Coutts & Co, commented: “This year all short listed nominees benefit from a free company health check and the opportunity to receive feedback from the evaluation committee based on the information they have provided. In addition to generating national recognition, winning the Coutts Prize has also become a source of great family pride.”
The Coutts Prize for Family Business was launched to showcase and champion exceptional family businesses. As part of the process, nominations are reviewed by an independent evaluation committee made up of family business owners, academics and advisers.
To qualify for nomination for the Coutts Prize for Family Business, businesses must:
- have their headquarters in England or Wales;
- be wholly or mainly carrying on a trading activity;
- be companies or firms over which the family have significant influence;
- consider themselves to be a family business, though family members need not be involved in the management of the firm; and
- have been profitable in at least two of the last three years
Within the three regions, there are two turnover categories medium £5-25m and large £25m+.
The Coutts Prize, endorsed by organisations such as the British Chambers of Commerce, Cranfield University, and the Society for Trust and Estate Practitioners recognises firms that demonstrate a combination of high standards of family governance and corporate governance, a competitive market position and consistent financial growth, and a track record of charitable giving or involvement in the local community. Entrants must be companies or firms with a minimum turnover of £5m.
More specifically, the independent evaluation committee judging the Prize will be looking for examples of best practice, such as how family values are embedded in the in the culture of the company, effective planning for succession of ownership which the family understand and sign up to, challenges that the business has faced and overcome, and an understanding of the business’s approach to strategic giving.
Juliette Johnson, Senior Family Business Adviser at Coutts added: “Increasing numbers of family businesses are recognising that their ‘familyness’ can be used as a competitive advantage, especially in today’s tough economic environment. The Coutts Prize for Family Business is a unique award for family firms to use to benchmark their performance.”
The Coutts Prize for Family Business recognises the best run family businesses in England and Wales, and compliments Coutts successful Family Business Forum that is held throughout the UK.
NOMINATION PACKS FOR THE ‘COUTTS 09/10 PRIZE FOR FAMILY BUSINESS’ WILL BE DISTRIBUTED BETWEEN 1 SEPTEMBER & 31 OCTOBER 2009
TO RESERVE A PACK EMAIL:
