I'D RATHER BE IN CORNWALL CLUB
We asked our panel about Business Growth and Recruitment in Cornwall...
Martin Nixon
Commenting on working in Cornwall, Martin Nixon said: “When I first left Cornwall to be a designer in London I never imagined that I would have the opportunity to work back here. But thanks to the advances in technology and the support of organisations such as Cornwall Pure Business, the creative industry is really starting to make its mark on the local economy and I believe that it is up to those of us who are already established to help support and promote the many entrepreneurs on our doorstep so that this industry can continue to grow and develop.”

Wayne Deakin
Wayne Deakin from Seed Brand Communications, whose clients include Jack Daniels, P&G, Valcent and Cornwall Care, explains why Cornwall was their chosen business location: “Me and my business partners all wanted to work in a creative environment and had discussed the possibility of working flexibly, and we also wanted to seek a better lifestyle. As a successful marketing and branding business, any location was open to us. But Cornwall was the clear winner. We've really benefited both from the business support that has been available to us as well as the inspirational surroundings and this has definitely helped us make our national and local clients much more profitable.”

Teddie Cowell
Teddie Cowell, Neutralize, internet marketing agency, whose business has grown from two people to twenty six in the past five years concluded:
”Cornwall has proven to be a great base to compete successfully in the global market place. We saw our turnover climb by 300% in the first couple of years of relocating. The business is going from strength to strength and we have further plans for expansion. We have found that Cornwall has a good pool of talent to choose staff from. We are one of the biggest agencies in the country that specialises in search engine marketing, so provide training to equip our staff with the skills to move the business forward."
