    Concerned about meeting with HR consultant

    Seems so. He was given no indication whatsoever that this was going to happen. The only point when he knew it was serious was when he was made aware this HR consultant was coming in. He's not home yet so I'm not sure of the reasons he's been given. As far as I'm aware the business hasn't...

    Concerned about meeting with HR consultant

    Lets just say its a sizeable profit before certain so-called 'reasonable expenses' have been deducted. Anyway its all a moot point now as he's just been made redundant.

    Can't give it away !!!!!!

    At the risk of sounding like a 6 year old, why? Is that proven? *edit* sorry, just read your post, Scott. I think the black background is wholly appropriate in London Chauffers' case...

    Anyone ever applied for The Apprentice ?

    Obviously its brutally edited to make all of the contestants look like morons, but even with that bourne in mind, its shocking how inept they are. The concept is fundamentally flawed in my opinion, they seem to be looking for someone with entrepreneurial flair who is a natural leader, yet the...

    East midlands accountants

    Hi there, thanks for your reply. I plan to try and renegotiate, but I don't imagine I'll make much of a saving as the fee was already considerably discounted as the accounts only covered 2 months. At the time, I uncharacteristcially did not gather comparative quotes as I was working 70+ hours a...

    East midlands accountants

    I am a sole trader, not VAT registered and do my own bookkeeping. 07-08 was my first year trading and I appointed an accountant to prepare my end of year accounts and prepare & file my tax return. I was happy with the service I received, but after conferring with my peers (other freelance...

    Nat West Commercial Cards customer service

    I use geographical phone numbers instead of 0870 for all of my personal banking, and also my business bank account (all Nat West). I cannot find the geographical number for Nat West commercial cards customer service though, and was just told by an advisor that there isn't one which I find hard...

    Starting my own online clothing brand.

    Hi Jamie, A couple of things to consider from a product point of view. How much do you know about design for print? How are you intending to get designs on the garment? If you're considering screenprinting (the standard, but not the only way of getting a design on a tee) are you aware of the...

    NEW - Freelance Website/Graphics Designer

    Apart from two of your portfolio sites containing my 2 most despised fonts (scriptina and papyrus) your site looks really slick, well done. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt on the fonts and assume they were the clients choice! PM'd

    Sole trader considering taking on a trainee - any advice?

    Haha, not just me then. It is pretty specialised. So far all the freelancers I come across seem to work only in Photoshop which is just not suitable for this particular application. Commercial fashion production is extremely technically restrictive so its tricky to produce a rich, layered...

    need a logo please :)

    Hi Sue, Sounds good, I've registered, but I'm finding the search options a bit limiting. Is there any way of searching by keywords users may have used in their profile rather limit it by category? Thanks
