Martine Parry, Market Consultant, said: ' The demand for this discussion has been great. Up until January everyone was in a tailspin, not knowing how to respond to the market conditions but now realisation has set in that something has to be done. There is less money, so more competition for business. Organisations have to be more productive and less wasteful.'
