A personal plan

A personal development plan is as important as a business plan, as ML Electronic’s managing director Mike Lloyd would testify. By Vanessa Knivett.

Running your own business or managing a department can offer the opportunity of creating a business environment that you find pleasurable to work in – it might even enable others to enjoy the sort of business structure and opportunities that you would have appreciated in past roles.
Certainly, the latter was partly the inspiration for Mike Lloyd, managing director of ML Electronics, the Salisbury based product development consultancy whose electronics expertise is behind projects such as PlasmaJet (see NE 25 April 2006) and The Source, an electronics based art work created by urban artists Greyworld for the London Stock Exchange (see NE 14 Dec 2004).
