Theo Paphitis says that he has been doing everything that businessmen are told not to do during a recession, especially setting up new businesses. He says setting up a business and building and maintaining success is empowering and you should pursue it.

Peter De Savary highlights that there is lethargy in England in regards to pioneering a business; there a a depression from the recession and the press doesn't help. We are all looking inwards where we all should be looking outwards; expand our minds on overseas possibilities. If we set up industries where import and export are prioritised then it will help boost the economy of this country.

Sir Victor Blank states that this country has a great deal of international dealings including fashion, film, motorcars and textiles.
