Microsoft. Apple. Amazon. Three behemoths of the business world, and there is one characteristic that unites them all.
In fact, what is true for that mighty trio is also true for every giant corporation on the planet. They all started as small businesses - in garages, spare rooms or college dorms.
We do well to remember that when we examine the health of Wales’ SME sector. Because before we can build the mighty powerhouses that drive our economy, we have to look after the tiny outfits and give them a chance to grow. At the recent Fast Growth 50 Awards, we saw fantastic examples of the dynamism across Welsh businesses. The firms on the list provide inspiration to other businesses through their entrepreneurial spirit, and contribution to prosperity, employment and innovation in sectors from medical technology, to construction to fintech and recruitment.
