PEOPLE, profit and an effective business strategy are the most important assets to a successful company.

Those who took part in this year’s Tony Carey Meetings Programme said that while staff were the single most important asset to a company, profit and strategy were close behind.

The programme, sponsored by Carey Olsen, puts together two senior business people from different Guernsey companies to share views on a range of issues, including how to get the best out of employees, keeping customers satisfied and the changing face of business.

This year 30 participants, representing 15 companies, including members of the local financial services, legal and hospitality industry, took part in the programme.
