I found the Centre quite unique I
could get some bits of information
by going to a library, other bits by
going online, and still more
from other sources. But nowhere
else but the Centre can you find
together in one place both the
patent side of things and the
marketing and business
information you need.

  • 36. Consultants Network Forum - 25 November 2010 - Neil Infield - British Library I found the Centre quite unique I could get some bits of information by going to a library, other bits by going online, and still more from other sources. But nowhere else but the Centre can you find together in one place both the patent side of things and the marketing and business information you need.

  1. Here are couple of scenarios I want you to picture in your heads. Me to client: Why did you decide to start a business with your father? Client: Well you need to understand that when I was growing up my father was an alcoholic and I had to be the man of the family. Now that I have my degree and accountancy qualification and my father has been made redundant, I want to get him back on his feet again. Here is another. Me to client: So what brought you here from Ghana? Client: My father was a senior civil servant but got the wrong side of those in power and was killed. My 5 brothers and sisters all had to leave the country for our own safety. These are both situations I encountered soon after offering one to one business advice clinics the Business & IP Centre.

  4. We learnt from our customers that providing access to information was not enough. So we had to develop a range of new services. The more we added the more were wanted. Currently moving from my team giving regular workshops to become accredited business advisors.

Here is a small selection of our publishers. Each has its own specialised area of research. Talk about different market sectors, eg retail, research & development etc
