Christmas is over for another year, and there’s no reason to be ashamed if it took you little time to gobble up all the chocolate you were gifted on 25th December.

In the weeks running up to the big day, you might even have acted on our advice to stock up on shredded paper. Maybe you bought a large batch of hamper kraft tissue specially to… well, fill out hampers for members of your family and social circle.

However, while those Heroes and Celebrations tins might now be empty,…

New Year, as we all know, is a time for new beginnings… but a lot of it is also about appreciating what we already have in our lives. There can be a temptation among many of us to attempt to treat the New Year as such a “clean slate”, that we overlook our previous successes and current strengths. And that, in turn, won’t help us establish the platform for new triumphs.

This brings us neatly onto the subject of the self-confidence of your boyfriend, husband, or for that matter, any…

What it is, why it is needed and what it involves

While it is often said that there are only two certainties in life – “death and taxes” – some observers might be inclined to add a third to the list: brands making claims about their products that are difficult, or even impossible, to fully verify.

If, for example, you have ever looked to buy a new smartphone or a similar device, you might have perused a manufacturer’s marketing materials, and seen a…

If your retail or direct consumer brand is seeking out the most effective ways to bring in further revenue, it is worth giving some serious thought to the role that conversational sales could play in your strategy.

As the “conversational” part of the term suggests, a conversational sales approach is largely concerned with – but is by no means solely about – dialogue-based interactions. This is as opposed to depending on passive forms of engagement, such as pop-ups or online forms, in…

We try not to state the obvious too often here at CashCompare, and the definition of the term “short term loan” might seem more than obvious: an amount of borrowed money that needs to be paid back over a relatively short period of time.

But what do we mean by “short period of time” when it comes to loans, and what are the pertinent differences between a short-term loan and a long-term one? Even more crucially,…

In business circles, it is hard to avoid talk of sustainability and its associated issues. There can be few people who do not accept the importance of working in an ever more sustainable way. Despite this, most businesses have yet to embrace fully new sustainable ways of working. Leading the way, Acquarius in Gibraltar is working hard to change that perception.

For some time, Acquarius management have been determined to promote…

An introduction to shipping alliances, and the benefits for freight forwarders and end customers

When you are considering your freight options for getting shipments from one part of the world to another, you might come across mention of global freight and shipping alliances, and wonder exactly what these “alliances” are. Further to the point, why should you – as an end customer – care?

The term “shipping alliance” refers to when multiple ocean carriers enter into a cooperative…

What is meant by ‘multimodal freight solutions’?

The Chartered Institution of Highways & Transportation (CIHT) now has a new confirmed President for 2023/24. That person is Karen McShane, who – at her Presidential Inauguration event at the CIHT’s London offices – said it was crucial to put into motion “climate action to drive attitudinal change on how and why we travel”.

CIHT set to take on “key challenge to society”

A chartered engineer with more than 35 years’ experience – including in local government as well as…

If there is at least one development that ought to brighten spirits among many a style aficionado amid the January greyness and drizzle, it is surely the looming return of London Fashion Week (LFW) – not least as this won’t be “just another” Fall/Winter instalment of the iconic trade show.

We are, of course, referring to the fact that the upcoming LFW will mark the event’s 40th anniversary when it takes place in the UK capital from 16th to 20th February.

While LFW’s status as one…

When you purchase a pair of ski boots – whether you do so as a relative veteran or someone who is quite new to skiing – you can expect it to come with a flat insole.

This stock insole will certainly not represent the optimal fit for your feet, for the simple reason that it is a “one-size-fits-all” (or perhaps we should say, “one-size-does-not-fit-all”) solution. Every person’s foot shape is different to the next person’s, which makes it difficult to build adequate support into a…

While the winter has traditionally been seen as the ‘low season’ for Costa del Sol tourism, there are signs that this situation could be changing slightly in more recent times.

After all, we are in the middle of a global energy crisis, which – as we have written previously here on the Simply Shuttles blog – has helped inspire a wave of “thermal tourism”, as people look to avoid high energy bills in…

Being the owner of your own swimming pool is something that you are likely to greatly appreciate. However, knowing how to properly care for and maintain a pool will also be a crucial part of the ownership experience. And that, in turn, will necessitate you following the appropriate procedures for “closing down” your pool during the winter months.

But could those lower temperatures heighten the risk of your pool freezing over during this time of year? Below, we investigate this subject…

Extruded aluminium productshave long played a important role in the manufacturing industry; when there is a need for the creation of low cost parts with that would otherwise require significant machining to achieve the final shape.

With aluminium being ductile, mechanically strong, and cost-effective, the material lends itself well to creating complex parts with minimal waste or extensive machining
