An increasing number of owner-managers are consulting psychics on how to run their business, according to a company fronted by astrologer Russell Grant.

Russell Grant Astrology, which commonly advises callers on love-related or other personal matters, has been receiving an increasing number of enquiries from company owners seeking guidance on running their companies in the recession.

‘Many worried self-employed men and women have been calling me during the past few weeks,’ comments one of the company’s psychics.

‘I was very pleased to be able to guide a number of people into opening their minds to other avenues within their businesses to limit the losses they have been facing over the past few months.’

The company is sometimes called on to advise on potential employees or ‘solve mysteries within the workplace’, according to a spokesperson.
