I&apos;m a <a href=&apos;https://danmartinuk.com/&apos; target=&apos;_self&apos;>freelance journalist and event host</a> who helps small businesses and the organisations that support them. I&apos;m also Enterprise Nation&apos;s news reporter and Bristol Local Leader.
I have 20 years of experience as a small business journalist having interviewed hundreds of entrepreneurs from famous names like Sir Richard Branson and Deborah Meaden to the founders behind brand new start-ups.
I&apos;ve worked for a range of leading small business publications and support groups, most recently as head of content at Enterprise Nation where I was responsible for the prolific output of content on the company&apos;s blog and social media. I now freelance for Enterprise Nation as the website&apos;s <a href=&apos;https://www.enterprisenation.com/business-news&apos; target=&apos;_self&apos;>news reporter</a> and as the host of the <a href=&apos;https://www.enterprisenation.com/podcast&apos; target=&apos;_self&apos;>Small Business sessions podcast</a>.
I&apos;m based in Bristol where I run and host regular events with the local small business community in my role as Enterprise Nation&apos;s Local Leader for Bristol. I also have strong connections with other major business organisations in the south west region.
In total, I&apos;ve hosted over 100 events including conferences with an audience of hundreds for international brands like Xero and Facebook and live web chats from inside 10 Downing Street.
With my partner, I co-run <a href=&apos;https://www.lifestyledistrict.co.uk/&apos; target=&apos;_self&apos;>Lifestyle District</a>, a lifestyle blog focused on culture, art, theatre and photography.

My expertise lies in helping people in business to translate their own business needs, and the business needs of their customers, consumers and other stakeholders, into the Global Language of Business, so that you can spend more time doing business, rather than working out what the data means. It&apos;s about being able to create a system where you can provide data requirement for business information to stakeholders, and provide business information to your trading partners in a way that makes it available and accessible to them, when you want them to have it.&nbsp;&nbsp;
In today&apos;s world, sustainability has become a key to unlocking business and finance options. It has almost become a licence to trade, and it all starts with traditional identification and barcoding for the complete value chain (sourcing raw materials to Point of Sale), in any industry sector. Being able to demonstrate Traceability &amp; Transparency (Visibility) on your value chain is futureproofing for expected EU directives on <a href=&apos;https://finance.ec.europa.eu/capital-markets-union-and-financial-markets/company-reporting-and-auditing/company-reporting/corporate-sustainability-reporting_en&apos; target=&apos;_self&apos;>Corporate Sustainability Reporting (CRSD)</a>. Because even if you&apos;re not meeting the threshold to be obliged to report directly, your trade partners who are may require it of you on their behalf. When you can verify the materials you use and where they have come from, then you can stand over the sustainability of your product and play your part in protecting people, the environment and the wider value chain.&nbsp;&nbsp;
I have experience in data cleansing and systems implementation and my USP is that I can provide authoritative guidance in the application of the <a href=&apos;https://www.gs1ie.org&apos; target=&apos;_self&apos;>GS1 System of Standards</a> to get your organisation speaking the global language of business. <a href=&apos;https://www.gs1ie.org/standards/data-exchange/master-data/gs1-digital-link-standard/&apos; target=&apos;_self&apos;>GS1 Digital Link</a> can bring you DIRECT ACCESS to your consumers, especially if you&apos;re selling through 3rd parties that are not your end consumer.&nbsp;&nbsp;
