Strategy for 19/20 and beyond
3.1 An overall vision. Objectives –
Our main objective is to develop our individual sources of work, not just relying on the name of the firm or marketing as this alone will not suffice. Doing a good job, providing a high quality consistent level of service will lead to future referrals and opportunities. This must be combined with networking, building and developing professional links is part of our strategy moving forward. Mediation work is coming in but there is still more to be done and we have purposively taken on another team member to free up some time to allow us to develop the team generally. There was very little capacity to do so this year. Continue to develop proclaim to suit the needs of the team, to save time, money and be greener.
