I’ll start with one of Tayo’s frequently used quote, “If you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far go together”. We all know businesses are more successful when they focus on their customers and put them at the heart of all they do!

True customer focus means operational efficiency: teamwork and cooperation to provide a positive customer experience.

So where do bees come in?
