Life after redundancy - family business?

Ricochet, the makers of Supernanny and No Going Back are looking for people who, as a result of redundancy, are thinking of going into business with their wife, husband/partner or family member. They don't have to have got very far with the idea, what's important is they are movitated by the economic downturn and determined to turn it into a longed for opportunity to set up in business for themselves. The kind of businesses they'd be interested hearing about could be leisure related, artisan food or clothing, chic b&bs or cafes. Ideally the kind of businesses would generally be service or produce based, rather than IT or finance driven.

The producers are keen to hear from people straight away so those interested should contact Sue or Hannah on 01273 224828 or email ournewbusiness@ricochet.co.uk

When people are facing redundancy, often say they want to do something meaningful, to give something in return. It is not always realistic when it comes to working on finances. It does show that many of us get taken along on the career path without identifying why it works, or do not work for us. Redundancy can be a time to change direction, but be sure to have a strategy.
