CEO MONTHLY / ISSUE 9 2018 13 yourself and remembering that you are always part of a team have contributed to my success.” Bringing the interview to a close, Simon takes time to envision what the future holds for the relatively new company, highlighting just how far Simon Driscoll Consultancy has grown since their inception. “Looking ahead to what the future holds, we have just entered into year two of the company. From year one to year two, we have achieved 60-70% growth and are ambitions to grow even more. Our future roadmap is driven by our clients’ feedback and that is key to delighting our customers. “Moving forward, I believe that we will gain international recognition as a great company, continuing our high customer satisfaction levels and focus on business growth. All because we are helping our customers to make more from their invested business systems to support their business growth through efficiencies, better visibility and easy ways to work.” Lastly, Simon signs off by providing advice to those who are looking to create a similar success to his within the industry. “I love being CEO of this company, I love our customers, I love my team and the positive impact they have on our customers and I love the fact that everyday is different! At Simon Driscoll Consultancy, we are all about positive change, our company today is different from a year ago and will continue to change. That in itself excites me, and that is my motivation everyday! “My advice for other CEOs, particularly those in SMEs, is to embrace some of the madness, enjoy it. But don’t lose sight of where you want to be and be realistic with where things can go. Also, don’t be scared. There will be tough times ahead, but if you’ve got a driven attitude and are passionate about something you will achieve your goals. “You can’t do it all on your own. Develop a strong network of contacts and build a good team around you. While you may be the face of the company, there will be plenty of people around you who want to help you succeed and who can help you achieve your objectives – don’t be afraid to ask for that help when you need it.” Contact: Simon Driscoll Company: Simon Driscoll Consultancy, Maxim 1, 2 Parklands Way, Maxim Office Park, Eurocentral, ML1 4WR, UK Phone: +44 (0)800 689 0502 Web Address: www. simondriscollconsultancy.co.uk Going the Extra Mile g
