Achieving the right ‘look’ with your outfit can be a challenge, especially if you’re trying to give your aesthetic a certain ‘edge’. Whether you’re aiming for something casual or a more formal look, a pair of holdups can make all the difference.

2020 and 2021 may have proved a rocky period for the events sector in the UK and around the world, but with the subsequent lifting of restrictions on travel and attendance of events, the sector has staged a strong comeback. Indeed, even in 2021, the value of the global events industry was £800 billion.

What is also true, however, is that the coronavirus crisis upended many people’s perceptions and feelings on what events could, and should, be.

An obvious consequence of that has…

A development that is sure to be relevant to many clients of transport consultants is the UK Department for Transport (DfT)’s recent publication of its new Transport Data Strategy.

The Transport Data Strategy outlines how the department intends to work alongside the transport sector to make the most of the benefits of data. The aims behind this work are to help grow and “level up” the economy, lower environmental impacts, and optimise transport for the user.

It is hoped that…

It might not exactly feel to great numbers of us in the UK that the spring has fully “sprung” yet. Certainly, conditions during March have continued to be all too February-ish at times, forcing us to keep on those thick jumpers for longer than we would have ideally liked.

Still, with the spring-summer 2023 fashions having racked up some serious mileage on the catwalks by now, we have a good vantage point for identifying some of the trends that your wardrobe – and those of your target…

When it comes to relatable phenomena, there really are none as universal as stress. We’ve all experienced it on one level or another, and we all know its ill effects (as well as, of course, some of the positive impacts it can have on our lives, such as giving us all-important motivation).

Still, stress is one of those things that many of us know, without in many ways, truly knowing.

So, with April being Stress Awareness Month, we thought we would put the spotlight on just three…

Not all parts of the Costa del Sol are those that the average person who has never visited southern Spain will be able to instantly recall: think the likes of Marbella, Fuengirola, Torremolinos, and so on.

Indeed, many of us are so used to the notion of the Costa del Sol being a highly familiar focal point for tourism, that we might easily overlook some parts of the region that offer an abundance of charms and stimulations.

The planning of weddings in Gibraltar – and indeed, anywhere else – can be a stressful and overwhelming experience, with so many details to consider and decisions to make.

While the thought of handling all the planning yourself may be tempting if you are anxious to maintain full control, hiring a wedding coordinator can be a great way to reduce the pressure and ensure your special day goes as smoothly as possible.

In this article, we will explore the benefits of having a wedding…

UK organisations that are keen to take responsible and compliant approaches to their tax and accounting in Newton Abbot, Plymouth, or Wellington may be interested to read about new Government plans that will put “umbrella companies” under the microscope.

As the Financial Times has reported, the proposals by HM Treasury could see UK firms held liable for the avoidance of tax by so-called “umbrella companies” that increasingly act as intermediaries in the recruitment of temporary…

It might seem obvious to some observers that the Costa del Sol should be regarded as one of the must-visit parts of Spain – and it appears that plenty agree.

As SUR in English has reported, a monthly report has been issued by the Tourist Board – drawing upon data from the National Institute of Statistics – suggesting that the region is the third most popular coastal destination in the country.

Very few parts of Spain have the lure of the Costa del Sol

So, just how tempting…

The UK Government’s quest to turn the country into a crypto hub is continuing, it having been confirmed that since Sunday 1st January, a tax exemption for overseas investors buying crypto through local investment managers or brokers has been in effect.

It is the latest development in the UK that supports Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s previously stated goal to transform the country into a global crypto hub.

Many of us who have ever purchased a product online have had that dreaded experience of seeing our ordered item turn up at our doorstep in what can only be described as… less-than-perfect condition. And if that has ever happened to you, the chances are that you considered whether it was a wise choice to purchase from the given online store to begin with.

What we’re trying to say is, if you are the business in this equation, you can’t depend on simply blaming the courier if a customer…

In another saddening reminder of the importance of addressing the problem of medication error, The New Zealand Herald recently reported on the case of an elderly man who was experiencing seizures, only for nurses to provide him the incorrect medication.

As a consequence of the overdose, the patient unfortunately passed away several days later.

Are the windows a part of your business property where you seem to struggle to keep on top of the cleaning? If so, it might seem obvious enough to you that this would hardly spell good news for your desired brand image.

After all, when a potential or current client or customer turns up at the premises of your office, shop, pub, or similar business, and they see dirty windows, are they even going to notice all the branded signage, stationery, and business cards you spent so much time…

In a recent news update of ours at myAko, we laid out what a Learning Management System, or LMS, actually is – because even in today’s world, not all organisations have sophisticated and efficient arrangements in place for administering, documenting, and delivering vital educational content.

So, let’s assume that by the time you read this, you are fairly confident as to what an LMS is. In 2023, during an era in which organisations across the sectors operate so differently to the…

It may sound odd at first, but the introduction of bubble gum aromas to India Pale Ales (IPAs) is a rising trend in the beer industry. IPAs, renowned for their hop-forward, often bitter taste profile and their enticing notes of citrus, pine, or floral undertones, present a fascinating canvas for unconventional aromatic pairings.

Bubble gum aromas, known for their sweet, slightly fruity character, may seem to contrast sharply with the bitter, citrusy or piney notes of IPAs. But this…

Blue roof systems work by providing temporary storage of storm water and controlling discharge in line with site planning…
