We all like to think we have a valuable ability to do an amazing presentation to our clients, employees and others.

Are you a business that hide its head in the sand too? »

I went to a menswear shop in Manchester today. It’s not in a particularly great location, and yet it’s close to the city centre. Plus it has free parking in the streets nearby.
