Mergers, Mahdlo and Marketing!

5/10/2018

MPG's May 2018 guest speaker John Barstow from BCR Limited
This months event kicked off with a hot topic talk from founder Jason Roper. The monster merge of Asda and Sainsburys and huge job losses to be had at RBS following mass branch closures. The retail market continues to change so Property folk keep your eyes peeled for opportunity!

Up next was the first of this months speakers, Stephen Grayson from MPG partner
UHY Hacker Young. Stephen spoke about GDPR aka The data protection act and how this will affect the property sector. Check out the PDF at the bottom of this blog for further information on GDPR. In short this will affect everyone and the deadline of 25/05/18 is looming although don’t worry, full compliance isn’t required by this time but a firm action plan to achieve compliance is! Breeches will cost you so don’t delay. Along with a handy 12 step guide to assist with compliance Stephens message was clear, if your aren’t sure employ a specialist and even if you are, employ a specialist!

Following on from Stephen was chairman Chris Wareing from our chosen charity Mahdlo. Mahdlo is a £2 million charity receiving only £400,000 per annum from Oldham council. They provide amazing opportunities for youths in the community helping them find passions and providing support to allow them to flourish. 

Chris spoke proudly of his recent fundraising  for the charity ranging from 24hour 5 a side marathon with Oldham Police Constabulary to a climb up Mount Kilimanjaro! If you feel inspired and want get involved there are still places available to join Chris up Kilimanjaro but if that’s not for you there are plenty of other ways you can contribute!

Check them out on the charities website at https://www.mahdloyz.org/

To finish this month's event was an insightful talk from John Barstow of BCR Limited ‘A full service advertising agency’. John started his career in 1966 and has worked in Marketing/ PR ever since. The saying ‘been there, seen it, done it’ really does apply to John. A nostalgic and factual presentation from John sparked personal reflection in the room...’Am I influenced?’ In today’s world more that ever we are subjected to advertisement, marketing ploys and PR schemes. Do they affect your daily lifestyle choices?

John ended reflectively stating, in this day and age of technology ‘creativity is suffering’.  Something to take away is to not be afraid of offering up your originality.

Winners of this months business card lucky draw were speaker Stephen from UHY Hacker Young and Paul Ramsey of Real Financial. 

We are looking forward to a delayed event next month on 14/06 hope to see you there!

I saw that you are talking pure business here and I want to focus on the successful merging between Asda and Sainsburys. I may have a very limited knowledge about this things, but when two big business owners have joined force, it's a sure thing that they are going to come up with something new that's why I am not surprised to know that Asda and Sainsburys came up with something that surprised the mass. But please note that not all merges have successful result!
