What is ValueOils.com biggest achievement to date?
ValueOils.com is a unique business. We conduct all of our business on-line and it is spread right across all corners of the UK/NI market. Our greatest achievement to date is the uniqueness of our business model. We design and own our own I.P. and software which cannot be easily replicated and is constantly evolving. The current position of the business is as a result of hard work and innovative thinking and design, combined with a market knowledge which is not readily available.
Your business has survived a Global Pandemic. What has been the most valuable business lesson you have learnt from this experience?
Probably like many other businesses “Expect the Unexpected”. Covid 19 has turned the world on its head and in business terms there will be a lot of pain to come. Many business models which seemed almost impervious have been hit very hard : Airlines/Hospitality/Travel etc. whilst others, particularly on-line businesses have survived and thrived. Our business has managed quite well through covid so far but we are certainly not over-confident that this will continue. The most valueable lesson for Valueoils.com is that we can be more flexible in working practices in that we can easily work from home but there remain occasions when it is really good to have some office facilties too.
A core activity of Mallusk Enterprise Park is supporting aspiring entrepreneurs. What piece of business advice would you give to anyone considering starting up their own business?
Whatever business you decide to set up, ensure that you know it very well and that you have a written plan of development including financial projections that are realistic and sustainable.
Top Tip “Be prepared to work extremely hard BUT make sure there is enjoyment in whatever path you chose. You will be working for a long time, make sure it is in a field that you really like”
