THE SUNSHINE AFTER THE PERFECT STORM
The future for many of the UK ’ s companies is looking bright , thanks in part to the pandemic . While Covid had some terrible & negative effects on the world , in business it has forced us to change the way we work as we learn to adapt to new rules . It ’ s actually been pretty good for the digital industry .
The Advantages of Digital Lockdown has seen firms thrive by taking advantage of digitisation & automation . More than simply placing a shop online , businesses are taking traditional functions into the digital realm . Digital marketing , as an example , is so much more effective , responsible & personal , with great return on investment plus it creates useful customer data & metrics .
Nik & Justine have been working closely with clients to create innovative & time saving yet revenue escalating online solutions . Many businesses realise the potential in digital but need guidance into the most effective routes to success . Nik said “ It ’ s incredible to see how rapidly technology has evolved . We ’ re now providing clients with tech solutions that simply weren ’ t available a couple of years ago , or at least not for a commercial viable cost .” Justine added “ We ’ ve worked hard with a handful of exciting start-ups over the last few months , building digital solutions , so we ’ re excited to see their growth & impact on their markets .”
Lockdown has also given the duo time to consider & evaluate the future . Rather than believing ‘ things will return to normal ’ they consider we are entering a new tech-assisted era , so have spent the time working on some engaging projects :
Wirral Wolves Return One of Revolution Four ’ s most successful campaigns in 2017 was Wirral Wolves , a play on TV ’ s Dragon ’ s Den , inviting budding entrepreneurs to pitch to the directors & fellow investors . One such investment was Lacuna Recruitment , which survived lockdown by evolving into a payroll provider .
The wolves return in 2021 hunting out promising propositions , businesses that need a combination of investment and mentorship to accelerate them to success . On top of cash injections , Nik & Justine are keen to find something they can enhance with their skill sets , adding value to a brand , in particular with digital expertise . Justine explained “ Rather than simply investing , we like working with people who can benefit from our connections , business acumen & technology assets .” The Wolves are inviting applications now at wirralwolves . co . uk
Sleep Sex Strength For the last two years they have been heavily involved in their investment in a groundbreaking new supplement , designed to help men & women optimise their sleep , sex & strength . Utilising doctors & specialists in all three fields , and an extensive period of testing & optimisation , procuring international approvals & accreditations , they have developed a genuinely useful supplement which they will be launching this summer …
Rev 4 Unplugged Podcasting From the ashes of Radio Wirral , arose the podcast brand , Rev4 Unplugged , converting the old radio studio into a podcasting space for audio and / or video interviews & talks . Podcasts are brilliant platforms to give a voice to a business , charity or event . Inexpensive & quick to make , there are millions now being used to promote brands & individuals around the world .

Social Responsibility Growing the Tim Cogley Cardiac Screen Foundation has been tricky during lockdown , with events & fundraisers very restricted . However , they will be restarting shortly , and exclusively announce that Wirral Life have kindly agreed to adopt the charity for the Halloween Ball . With thanks to support from Wirral Council , they have also installed a defibrillator to the front of Whitfield Business Hub in Heswall .
Nik & Justine sit on the board of the Liverpool City Region Local Enterprise Partnership thanks to a passion for bridging the gap between education & employment , particularly tech which is often overlooked by result driven schools . As part of this involvement , and tying in with Wirral Wolves , they have been asked to do a ‘ Dragon ’ s Den ’ for Pensby High School , analysing the students business ideas & giving them hints & tips .
The Future So there has been a tremendous amount going on during lockdown for the team with even more exciting things in the pipeline to be announced later in the year . Hopefully there will be one to two new entrepreneurial start-ups in there too ; keep an eye on our socials for more @ revolu4ion . See you at the summer ball !
