Port’s Thoughts

I’ve been in business for a long time. Long enough to remember the bad old days.

I like to think of BigChange as a football team. We are top of the league, bringing new talent to the pitch, delighting the fans, and scoring more goals than any other side.

My ambitions for BigChange have always been global, and 2019 was the year that we began expanding across France, Greece and Cyprus.

Bullying. It’s a word that’s rarely out of the headlines these days.

Sometimes, I speak to founders and leaders about their businesses, and I’m left wondering: do you really want to succeed?

It’s a tough trading environment out there for many business leaders. The UK has successfully dodged recession.

As an entrepreneur, I firmly believe that the implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is an asset to the UK workforce.

This quote has been attributed to many people over the years, from the novelist Tom Clancy to Amazon tycoon Jeff Bezos. Whoever said it first, it remains an undeniable truth.

When I think about my long-term goals for BigChange, sustainability plays a big part. I want us to be as green as we can be, helping customers around the world to meet their carbon goals too. That’s the big vision. 

What does it take to build a successful business? It takes ambition, the ability to spot an opportunity, and the presence of mind to keep investing back into your people, product, and customer success.
