How Britain's rural routes are mapped http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-37275160

Okay, we have moved offices! To a more rural location and conveniently alongside the M48 at the Old Severn Bridge.

Asked the other day how I developed Pinpoint as a startup so thought I would share how I went about it.
This is how I did it:
1. Attended geo-related conferences... 2. Established gaps & opportunities in the market 3. Determined what my company’s core services are going to be 4. Developed a memorable company name & brand (took 3 attempts before getting it right!) 5. Invested in my own marketing skills (website development, social media, telesales) 6. Where you need technical expertise either buy it in or bring in a business partner who is the technical guru 7. Network, network, network (not online ...in the real world!)
