Coles Miller Solicitors Debt Recovery Manager Eric Holt recently met the Ex-Apprentice Ruth Badger at the Institute of Credit Management Conference, at the Rose Bowl in Southampton on 24 June.

Ruth is best known as the runner-up in the second series of the UK version of ‘The Apprentice’ and the presenter of the TV show ‘Badger or Bust’. Similar to Coles Miller’s Debt recovery department, Ruth’s business ‘Ruth Badger Consultancy Ltd’ has the aim to help businesses increase their productivity and profitability.

Eric Holt and his team were at the conference promoting the specialist Debt Recovery and Credit Management service that the Poole based firm provide to clients all over the South Coast. The Apprentice star was one of a number of people that Eric and his team who had been exhibiting at the conference met.

Ruth, who was runner up in the show two years ago, has probably been one of the most successful contestants and amongst other matters spoke to the delegates about her rise to fame, the importance of cash flow and most importantly knowing who owes you money and which of your invoices had not been paid. Subjects that are true to the heart of Eric’s ethos.

Eric, who has also assisted many hundreds of business in recovering debts and improving their cash flow, said ‘the event is an excellent opportunity for businesses to meet with and draw on the advice of a wide range of business experts’.
