Public speaking nerves are very real! 🫣 If you had told Vaida a few years ago that she’d be standing up in front of a room of local business leaders giving a 15-minute keynote talk, she would have laughed and run a mile! But this morning she braced herself and did exactly that at the Ambassadors Business Breakfast Club
Running a business can feel a bit lonely at times, even when you have an amazing team behind you. Whether you’re a solicitor, a photographer, a therapist, or an alarm engineer, we all face the same growing pains. Having a warm, friendly local room to share those challenges makes a world of difference.
It was a wonderful opportunity to share the EVOTEC Fire & Security story – from her early days in linguistics and copy-editing to how we built the business. We started EVOTEC because we wanted to do things properly – rejecting outdated technology and focusing on absolute quality for our clients and real support for our brilliant field technicians.
Because of the hard work of the EVOTEC crew, we’ve grown organically to a team of 14 based entirely on our Salisbury reputation. We are also incredibly proud to be the only company within 10 miles of Salisbury to hold both NSI Fire Gold and NACOSS Gold accreditations.
Before wrapping up, V left the room with a quick, 1-second safety tip that you can try at your own business or home today: Stop what you’re doing, take a look around your premises, and ask: What could possibly go wrong here, and what would I actually do? It's a brilliant habit to get into!
A massive thank you to the whole Ambassadors group for cheering us on. Extra special thanks to Rose and Darren for the lovely photos and words today, and everyone else your incredible support.
And the biggest thank you of all goes to Andrius Tamkus – EVOTEC simply wouldn't exist without you, and there's no one better to share this crazy business journey with! 😘
