    How do I stop annoying posters on a forum?

    One of our web ventures is a construction forum (early days but new members are coming on pretty regular and there are a lot of "guest viewers" - nowhere near the numbers on here though!). The problem we have is that what looks like a scam web site has been set up to extract cash out of...

    Health & Safety for new premises

    Yes is the answer. Here at http://www.eurosafeuk.co.uk we often get calls asking us to do workplace assessments AFTER a property has been fitted out. Doing it this way around means that any corrective actions are so much more expensive because they involve disturbing finishes in order to run...

    New civils company

    We use Glenigan here at Eurosafe UK and negotiated a lot better deal than they originally offered. As a new business I would guess that you would only want leads that are local to yourself so ask Glenigan for a price to provide you with leads within say a 40 mile radius of your base.

    Generally you don't need to get in with insurances companies themselves. They tend to procure a lot of their work through Loss Adjusters who handle the claim and construction work for the insurance company. Yell will have a list of Loss Adjusters in your patch. Regards Newsh1

    Investing in property as a ltd company or sole trader?

We have 5 or 6 properties that we bought through the company and were then advised by our new accountant that the property should have been in our own names. Apparently it is very difficult to get property out of a business and...

    Britain worst place in Europe - to live!

    New office hub for the construction/property industry

    Thanks for the support Pete. Currently the downstairs is a training centre seating up to 50. As not many businesses can afford training anymore we don't need a room this size but to maintain a 20 seater will allow us to still offer training, and the room can also act as a large meeting room...

    Analytics odd today, or just odd visitors?

    Yes I have the same problem. It ranges from no vistors at all on one of our busiest web sites to a 450% weekly traffic increase for another one (I wish!). Odd eh?
