While business leaders across the UK are trying to understand how best to handle the impact of the Brexit referendum, they’re naturally cautious; it’s a position being exacerbated by the plethora of conflicting information in news headlines and predictions from experts and lobby groups.<\/p>\n

Sandler UK CEO Shaun Thomson advocates a different approach in a new whitepaper titled The Brexit Distraction – how SMEs can avoid being stuck in an \u201cinbetweener\u201d year<\/em>, which highlights the need to avoid Brexit inertia and grasp the opportunities presented by \u201ccoasting\u201d competitors.<\/p>\n

Shaun said: \u201cWe’re in a position where nobody – politicians, economists or global companies alike – knows what the landscape will look like after Brexit. While many business leaders are sitting on their hands in this environment, there are fantastic opportunities to be had for forward-thinking companies around employee engagement, recruitment, sales and leadership culture.<\/p>\n

\u201cBrexit is the issue that will continue to dominate thinking and media headlines, so promoting our expertise in this area in national media delivers tangible benefits for our franchisees at a local level. Positioning the Sandler brand at the forefront of the issues that matter to SMEs across the country, they’re seen as a leader and a driver of growth.\u201d<\/p>\n

The whitepaper has been covered by the Daily Express<\/em> and Real Business<\/em> among other outlets, with Shaun regularly contributing to media to keep the brand in the spotlight. As a highly collaborative network of business owners, Sandler franchisees and the head office team are sharing experiences to equip themselves with the solutions their clients need – and differentiating themselves from the competition.<\/p>\n

Shaun commented: \u201cOur franchisees enjoy being part of an international brand with a very strong presence, and our role as a franchisor is to make sure we’re harnessing that power at a UK level so they can benefit in their own business. We call it global reach with a local touch, and it’s a power that our competitors can’t match.\u201d<\/p>\n

The leadership is clearly working – Sandler reported year-on-year turnover growth of 24% across its franchise network in 2017.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
