My best business decision
Feb 08 issue
For Simon Rigby, CEO of Spice, the secret to sustainable expansion lies in sticking to what you know.
Although we’ve taken on our fair share of acquisitions in the 11 years since the company’s inception, we have also managed to grow organically. The way that we’ve approached that is to be ruthless in sticking to what we know. In life you have to decide what it is you do, get very good at it and do lots of it.
If you’re a golfer and you get down to scratch, you don’t then go out and learn to play cricket. We have lots of offers for contracts in other areas that look very interesting, but in the end we know our business and that’s how we deliver for our shareholders.
