Quick off the marks in passing the baton

Trickett & Webb front man Brian Webb denies the recent promotion of Heidi Lightfoot to associate director has been done with an eye on the succession of the group he helped set up.

However, he does concede that as you get older you think about these things more often. ‘In fact, really, you should start thinking about succession from day two of starting the company, although that’s not really on your mind much at that stage is it?’ he says.
