    unpaid invoice on tenders website

    I know what you're saying, I could kick myself to be honest. I've done a lot of work through this particular site and everyone I've worked for has been great and paid up promptly until now. I think it's lulled me into a false sense of security plus it was the week before Christmas, so I wasn't...

    unpaid invoice on tenders website

    How much do you charge and what information do you need? I don't think I've got much of use apart from his name because now the tenders website have closed his account I can't access anything else.

    unpaid invoice on tenders website

    Thanks for the reply. I've just tried that but it's not yielding much unfortunately. I do have the client's full name (I think anyway!) but it's a fairly common name and I'm not managing to glean much from it. Thanks anyway though

    unpaid invoice on tenders website

    I wrote a business plan for someone, as a contract awarded to me via a freelance jobs website. (Don't want to state the name yet but it's a popular site for bidding for freelance work). It was a very tight turnaround project and I offered a discount to the client if he paid immediately. He told...

    Portals that have office space listings- how do they earn money?

    Do you mean sites like Office Broker and Search Office Space? If so, they make their money just like a conventional agent does - they charge commission every time a deal is struck because of a lead which has come through them.

    Are Northerners taken seriously in the business world?

    I stumbled across quite an interesting article about this subject last week by accident. Although the article actually relates to Yorkshire accents in PR - http://www.behindthespin.com/features/single-white-female-on-diversity-in-pr I think there is probably some truth in the article but there...

    Seeking small all-inclusive office in Leeds

    It is very cheap although admittedly it was a bit of a shell when we moved in! The downside is that in the winter electricity was quite expensive - about £400- £500 per quarter but we do have about 1000 sq ft of open space shared between my company and another. Plus we were using plug in...

    Seeking small all-inclusive office in Leeds

    Excellent, you'll have to keep us posted on how you get on. We're near Dunelm Mill, going out towards Holbeck. Very handy for town and the rent is about a quarter of the going rate round here! I don't think any of these are serviced though but some of the other council ones might be good.

    Seeking small all-inclusive office in Leeds

    The ones that I was thinking of are too far for you then. I'll keep my eyes open for anymore for you though. We rent ours from Leeds council so it works out well below market rate. I don't know if they have any serviced/all inclusive offices though (ours isn't). Have you enquired with the...

    Media Distribution List

    Incidentally, a lot of the regional newspaper's websites have bylines underneath the headline, which are also links to the journalist's e-mail address now. Just find a story similar to the one you are sending in and you may have the name and the e-mail address of the appropriate journalist right...

    Media Distribution List

    Hi, I have this list that was compiled a couple of years ago of the publications only so it may not be completeley up to date. Unfortunately I don't have any of the contact details as it is a long time since I have done regional PR for anyone based in the North East. However the main newspapers...
