Helena McBride and David Horne guest on The Business Show on Marlow FM 15th July 2021

The Enterprise Doctor Business Show

The Business Show from Marlow FM 97.5 on 15th July 2021is now available here.

My guests were Helena McBride (definitely McBride!) & David Horne. Connect with them via https://www.linkedin.com/in/helenathespacemaker/ & https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidkehorne/respectively.

I needed to play one last track for the England team, & for the fans – Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing” – you can hear a great live version at https://youtu.be/VcjzHMhBtf0 .

I talk first to David Horne about Kehorne, why his name is part of the name, & talk of their customisable solution for restaurants. We also talk about where stuff should go on a website, & what neon lights have to do with that!

Helena McBride is The Space Maker, a professional organiser, who will sort out your business space or home for you. Lockdown has meant a lot of people have turned their homes into a combined home/work space, creating a lot of work for Helena. Hear her top tip on how to get started with decluttering.

“Cry me a River” by Julie London wasn’t Helena’s choice for the England team, it's because it’s a beautiful song, & because this is the best version. Hear it at https://youtu.be/MkD_kYkRk3c . The pic we mentioned is at https://www.amazon.co.uk/Julie-London-Cry-Me-River/dp/B000CY3YJS .

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-57733724 is about making money from decluttering. People are doing this as a business. With 1bn users, it's a great place to sell!

You can see the Foo Fighters video of “Low” (which we then played on the show) at https://youtu.be/ySlZdASmGCM - defy as described by David, whose choice this was.

Lights, camera, studio space – the story at https://www.theguardian.com/film/2021/jul/10/lights-camera-studio-space-lack-of-production-capacity-hits-uk-film-industry has some very local content & wider content. Are the local studios good for local businesses?

F2F networking is coming back, so the article at https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/244553 about how to start a conversation with strangers at a networking event seemed to be a good thing to talk about.

I play us out with Elton John’s “Take me to the Pilot” – don’t try to work out what the words mean, they have no meaning! Have a listen at https://youtu.be/NfKsH_g39Rc - the live version from the great 17-11-70 album, with the intriguing lyrics on screen.

David Horne has 20 years’ experience in web development. In his day to day role at Kehorne, he acts as the technical Project Manager, responsible for delivering user experience/user interface as well as working with the design & developer teams. Their own website (yes, they’ve got one!) is https://kehorne.co.uk/.

Helena McBride runs The Space Maker – she is a professional organiser & declutterer who thrives on creating calm from chaos. Her website is https://www.thespacemaker.co.uk/.
