June saves the year

It's been a while since I posted. The main reason being that things with the business have been down. Whilst the first quarter of 2009 was up 10%, April & May were way down and it looked like the recession was finally catching up with us. Then came June! Turns out June's been way up on last year and we're now back on track for a small level of growth for the first half of the year. Result! Plus we've taken a few biggish decisions in terms of re-allocating staff and changing our commission structure which we hope will bear fruit in the next half of the year. I promised by biz partner I'd buy him a case of wine if we made £1.5m turnover this year. That would need around 40% growth in the next six months. Not impossible and I'm more worried about loosing the bet now than I've been in last three months. Will keep you posted.
