Jenny Cairns is owner of North East start-up The Doggy Daycare Centre, and is a former participant of the Help To Grow: Management Course.
On that programme, she was partnered with Simon Read, also known as The Business Skipper, who has helped Jenny's business navigate the choppy waters of entrepreneurship.
In this podcast, they explore the importance of leadership, mentoring and creating time to work on the business rather than being consumed by day-to-day operations.
The conversation offers practical insights on strategy, decision-making, personal development and building a more resilient, profitable and sustainable business.
