How to make your business more resilient

How to make your business more resilient. In this podcast, Simon Batchelar from Pallant and Paul Everington from Everwell Associates discuss how to make your business more resilient.

We explore why resilience is so important for manufacturing and engineering companies, especially when businesses are going through change—whether that’s selling, succession, or scaling.

You’ll hear practical examples of how weak sales pipelines often rely too heavily on founders, how to activate wider networks within your business, and why processes such as ISO standards can strengthen resilience.

What you’ll learn in this podcast:

• Why business resilience matters when exiting, selling, or acquiring a company

• The risks of relying on founders and innovators for sales pipelines

• How to build resilience by activating networks across your team

• The role of processes and standards like ISO 9001 in building efficiency and resilience

• Practical steps SMEs can take to prepare for growth and long-term success
