Training and support services: Brian Walters, Capital GES

Following the merger of his business Capital GES in 2019, BCMS Fellow Brian Walters has remained a key part of its management. Like all company leaders, the Covid-19 pandemic put his business and entrepreneurial skills to the test. In this video interview, filmed in spring 2020, Brian explains the impact the pandemic has had on his own position, and how drawing on previous experience has helped him adapt.

The answer may be to think long-term – looking beyond the here and now, and developing a far-sighted strategy, so your business doesn’t just survive, it thrives. “It’s easy not to look for opportunities when you’re busy focusing on the everyday,” says Brian.
