A report known as ‘Business without barriers report’ also had positive feedback when surveying over 500 Business Decision Makers within the same industries all over the country. One in four of the businesses who took part in the survey feel that their main set backs are a lack of investment along with a lack of new ideas and innovation. UK businesses believe that the main factors affecting growth n their business is due to retention, development and talent attraction.

 Around 1/3 of Media, Marketing and Sales professionals are seeing a growth within international export. This is higher than other businesses in different sectors. The research also highlights that 92% of businesses within the same industries believe that the growth of UK businesses will rely hugely on international trading.

Alex Evans, Programme Director of the National Business Awards said: “The organisations that win National Business Awards overcome barriers by considering the bigger picture, looking outside their organisations and industries for best practices that they can adapt to become market leaders. They also understand the value of talent and how to enable their people to deliver beyond expectation. “As we launch the 2014 National Business Awards to find Britain’s leading organisations and individuals, it will be fascinating to see the innovative ways they are approaching growth in a global landscape.”- http://www.thesalespro.co.uk/Sales_News/ID/1338/News_-_National_Business_Awards_shows_Growth_Prospects_for_Sales_Industry.aspx
