Mon, 01 Dec 2008 14:23:20 GMT

How’s business? Great. In the last year we’ve re-structured and re-energised the company. We are a multi-disciplinary creative company and have managed to truly integrate our services.

If you enjoy hard work and put the effort in, you will get the rewards

Bikash Mathur, Head of Europe, Middle East & Africa, Polaris Software Lab

Mon, 17 Nov 2008 14:29:46 GMT

How's business? Business has been good...better than expected, in fact. One of the key reasons for setting up our software testing operation at the Northern Ireland Innovation Centre in Titanic Quarter in Belfast was to satisfy our clients’ requirements by understanding them better. We have progressed along these lines and are confident about getting more out of this approach.

Chris Clark, CEO, BT Northern Ireland

No organisation, large or small, private or public sector, is unaffected by the double whammy of the global credit crunch and economic slowdown.

Business is hectic but we can do more

The Big Interview: Edel Magill, Executive Producer, Prime Cut Productions

Mon, 27 Oct 2008 16:55:04 GMT

How’s business? Good. Prime Cut has to be managed just like any other small business. We are a non-profit distributing limited company and our number one priority is the professional production of live theatre of excellent quality that satisfies our audiences and leaves them wanting more.

The Big Interview: Rory McNaughton, Managing Director, Contract Services

Mon, 20 Oct 2008 14:56:25 GMT

The Big Interview: Nick Reid, Chief Executive, William Ewart Properties

Mon, 13 Oct 2008 15:40:42 GMT

How's business? Business is good despite challenging economic conditions. This year Ewart has completed the refinancing of its €230m German portfolio and has also completed the purchase of the 83,000 sq ft Victoria Place shopping centre at Victoria Station in London for £92m.

The Big Interview: Mike Bamber, Chief Executive of Retail Markets, Ulster Bank

Accident management is an untapped market

Sun, 14 Sep 2008 09:00:44 GMT

HOW’S BUSINESS?

Business is extremely good thanks to the decision we made to go public with our services which had previously been marketed through trade outlets. Our media campaign of TV, billboards and buses in recent months has brought us a new market, whilst strengthening our profile with the repair shops and insurance intermediaries.

Alan Davison, Managing Director, Portview Fit-out

Mon, 08 Sep 2008 11:08:25 GMT

HOW'S BUSINESS?

Business is very good for us at the moment. Last year we had a 40% uplift in turnover and a greater than proportional increase in profits. We mainly service the retail sector, so this year is unlikely to be as good as last. However, we have picked up several important new clients so the downturn is unlikely to affect us as much as it could.

Janice Tracey, Chief Executive, Londonderry Chamber of Commerce

Mon, 25 Aug 2008 10:47:15 GMT

1. HOW’S BUSINESS?

Following on from a really successful 2007, with the Chamber welcoming a wide range of high profile visitors including Bertie Ahern and Ian Paisley, 2008 has seen steady progress. Membership has increased by 25% over the last year and we are looking forward to forging ahead with our strategy to support more and more businesses in their growth plans. We expect membership numbers to continue to grow and the level of private sector engagement to get bigger and better.

Declan Flynn, Managing Director, Lisney

Mon, 18 Aug 2008 10:33:15 GMT

HOW’S BUSINESS?

Business is very challenging at the moment.

With the number of transactions down considerably in the last year, the focus of the business is now on our core services of property management and professional services which continue to be strong performers for us.

Terence Brannigan, Chied Executive Officer, Resource

Mon, 11 Aug 2008 10:21:21 GMT

HOW’S BUSINESS?

Business is great, we are in a strong position after our recent acquisition of Pall Mall, the UK cleaning and security services arm of Carillion plc and we are continuing to grow our operations all the time. So far in 2008 we have won new contracts throughout the UK and Ireland worth over £10m.

Damian Power, General Manager, Powerscreen International

Mon, 28 Jul 2008 13:50:30 GMT

HOW'S BUSINESS?

With our broad global spread, business is good for Powerscreen International. We are able to benefit from the infrastructure investment in emerging markets such as Russia and India. However we are aware that the market for construction equipment and specifically the quarrying equipment industry is very competitive.

The Postholder: Jerome Crolly

Martin McAuley, Managing Director, United Wine Merchants

Mon, 21 Jul 2008 16:04:15 GMT

HOW’S BUSINESS? Against the market we are doing relatively well. It has been a tough year and like most other industries trading is going through a difficult time at the moment but we are performing relatively well and maintaining our market share.

The Big Interview: Francis Martin

Mon, 07 Jul 2008 08:00:33 GMT

Firstly, how's business? Business is good. It is pleasing that as BDO Stoy Hayward recently celebrated almost two decades of doing business in Northern Ireland, we also recorded the best year since the firm was established in 1989.

Sam McIlveen: Digital Publisher, Independent News and Media

Mon, 23 Jun 2008 11:15:32 GMT

HOW'S BUSINESS?

Business is challenging at the moment. Advertising is one of the first things to be effected by a lack of consumer confidence. Now more than ever we need to demonstrate to local business that print and online advertising works, that advertising is a valuable part of the marketing mix and that advertising delivers a return on investment.
