Some people question how many spaceports the UK can sustain. However, if the UK can offer a reliable, responsive, and affordable small satellite launch capability, then the world will beat a path to our door.

In this article, I explore some of the potential challenges that lie ahead. I’ll also set out why Prestwick Spaceport is well-placed to lead the UK’s future spaceflight ambitions, as well as the many potential benefits we offer to investors, partners, and local economy ‘beyond launch’.

In this Q&A, space entrepreneur Daniel Smith discusses the meteoric rise of his strategic marketing company AstroAgency, and why the industry needed a dedicated company that fully understands and can properly promote, analyse, and connect the sector.

We talk about his award-nominated series of online networking events, and the important work of the Scottish Space Leadership Council – which he co-chairs – in fostering the future growth of the sector both in Scotland and across the UK.

We have seen a nearly 50% increase in hiring from the same period in 2020. Over the last three months, the activity has largely been around upgrades, firm’s launching new strategies and hiring in equity investing & fundraising.

Matthew Stevens has worked in financial services marketing for over 15 years, with many senior global marketing and director of marketing roles. His extensive experience has seen him restructure and realign marketing teams, execute complex rebranding programmes, and lead extensive digitalisation projects, one of which achieved a global marketing award.

Since late 2018 he has worked as a senior marketing consultant and interim, and he is also part of Sheffield Haworth’s interim community. So I took some time to interview Matthew about the benefits of engaging interims and the biggest challenges and trends facing the marketing departments of asset management firms.

Sheffield Haworth hosted a symposium with the HR and business leaders from ten global and European real estate fund managers.

During the conversation the group discussed the following topics and themes:

◼ Returning to the office
◼ New ways of working
◼ Technology
◼ Maintaining corporate culture
