Plane Perspective has just passed its tenth birthday and a celebration feels justified. Thanks, Mum. Thanks, Dad. Your support meant the world in 2013 – and it still does today. And thanks too to Mark Rowland. He gave me a chance back then and remains a loyal client and a good friend to this day.

Why do businesses have an obsession with annual planning? Do these really work for the company, or do they just drive a burst of well-meaning energy and enthusiasm in the new year? Time and again these plans falter half way through the year as they lose relevance to the changing market conditions. Flexible planning over shorter timescales can take advantage of these opportunities rather than pursuing out of date targets in a blinkered manner.

We’re recruiting but you’ll have to be something special to make us sit up and take notice. We’re not being funny or fussy. We just know what works and what doesn’t – for us and for our diverse client base.

Since 2013, when Plane Perspective relocated to offices within Wilderspool Business Park, the business has gone from strength to strength, gaining clients and employees along the way.
