Sales coach Alison Edgar took a trip to Downing Street last Friday, as Wiltshire’s only representative at an event to promote the UK’s 5.2 million small businesses ahead of Small Business Saturday.
And Alison rubbed shoulders with the chancellor of the exchequer, George Osborne, and Apprentice star Karen Brady, at the Small Business Saturday Christmas fair inside Downing Street.
Mr Osborne said: “”Britain’s small business owners deserve our support. They are the ones who take the risks to create new opportunities and new jobs, that show off British ingenuity and innovation and I am glad that once again they will be able to be the focus of all our attention and support.”
Alison’s company, Sales Coaching Solutions, provides bespoke sales and customer service training and coaching for small and medium sized businesses.
Alison is also on the National Board for Growth Vouchers, a government matched funding scheme that aims to make strategic advice more accessible for small and medium sized businesses.
