We think that construction is a challenging sector to work within.  English China pottery is another level of complexity again, with only a handful of businesses left in place in their cultural homeland of Stoke on Trent.  Susan Rose China is one of those companies, which was started by Susan Rose, who remains as founder and Chief Executive.

The podcast explores the key issues that any start up and any SME needs to focus on.  The lessons from Susan Rose are applicable to all businesses, including our construction and energy sectors.  These include the importance of customers and responding to their needs, the necessity of effective networking to find these customers and persuading them of the advantages of your product and a tight control on cash and input costs.  Like construction, skills and people are the source of all success and Susan talks about taking on apprentices to ensure the survival of her business.

Above all Susan exudes passion, with a bloody-minded approach to success.  Anything is possible, provided they want it badly enough.  Communicate well within your team and follow your heart and great things can follow!  As a passionate advocate for British manufacturing Susan represents a powerhouse of ideas and advocacy.  Plenty of lessons for all of us in business!
