    So the story as I was told was that the the more senior director(MD's dad) had put in £40k without authorisation of the MD. The MD did not want the £40k in the business so decided to give the investment to his kids (4 kids at £10k each). He did not mention his kids were getting shares at any...

    The company phone number is available, which I why I mentioned there being no Gatekeeper!

    Which lead generation and marketing to attract new B2B clients have you found successful?

    You can pay for your web pages ranking, or just to long tail. That's where it's at.

    Possibly. LinkedIn certainly informs us with most companies, or a quick phone call to find, out as they're certainly not protected by a gate keeper.

    Selling to brand managers, and marketing managers of SME's.

    And other people have a different take. If you don't like people asking questions, why are you here!? At the end of the day. My current director role is a farce. The other directors have made decisions underhand which would annoy the rest of the team and if/when they find out will cause major...

    There are only maybe 5 clients that I would need to contact, and similar for my colleague. We would not need to download a database, or even need to really keep their numbers on our mobiles. I'm pretty sure we could remember 5 names and just call the company up and ask to speak to them. With the...

    Whilst I've not had any clients asking me directly to set-up on my own, we have lost the respect and projects from clients (worth well over £100k) directly because of the MD's attitude and his closed mindedness. Can I ask if you cared about taking client information with you? And how did you go...

    So you use people you like and trust. In that case if you were my client, that would be me. You would never have dealt with anyone else in the company. And if you are using the company because we understand branding, then you would not use them any more after I have gone. As they will not have...

    The MD was too tight to pay for mobiles. The telephone system we had in place was terrible, which forced us to use our own personal mobiles. There will not be a manager in place of anything like that under the MD's watch as he does not care about policies of any kind. This is something my...

    Good point, and I completely agree. When we leave, the level of service at the new company will be the same as what they received previously. Whereas, the old company will not be at the same level as it was previously. Even if they employ new personnel (which would be extremely difficult given...

    You would if that supplier cannot give you the same level of service as what the person who left could give you. Regarding your second point about cost. Not everything is about bottom line, certainly not in our case.

    You're presuming we all do the same job!? That is not the case. My colleague wants this as badly as I do and we compliment each other.

    It's not been recorded in the minutes. I would have been aware and suggested that the other shareholders (staff) would not be happy, and neither would I. We've always been told that we would get the company, as his children have no interest.
