We might not have – at the time of typing – quite reached the festive season just yet, but it will be here before we know it. And at the height of a cost-of-living crisis, if you’re considering the best gift ideas for men in your life such as your boyfriend, husband, dad, or brother, one of the last things you will probably want to do is spend money on something he doesn’t even want.

So, this Christmas might be a time when you are particularly eager to make sure he loves whatever you…

If one needed any evidence of just how emphatically in-person experiences have recovered as a phenomenon, one would only need to look to a recently released report indicating that consumer experiential marketing across the globe recorded 8.2% growth for 2021.

And the great news doesn’t stop there. The same source suggested that the sector was set to grow at an even swifter pace during 2022, by 11.1% to $75.16 billion.

It’s quite the contrast from the situation in 2020, when the…

What a bewildering last few months it has been for the UK – and indeed, everyone working with transport planning and infrastructure design consultants like our own with a view to the optimisation of the country’s transport infrastructure.

The headline change in recent days, of course, has been former Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak’s rise to the top job in UK politics, succeeding Liz Truss, who resigned amid the market turmoil and economic uncertainty following her government’s…

Achieving the status of a ‘crypto hub’ hasn’t just been a focus of Gibraltar – it also remains an ambition for the UK, the country’s Economic Secretary to the Treasury has said, despite worries among some industry stakeholders that such a commitment might have lessened with the appointment of a new Prime Minister.

As reported by CoinDesk, Richard Fuller recently said at the UK’s first-ever crypto debate in Westminster that the UK Government was set to push on with previous plans to…

Office parties are those cultural staples that we are all at least , and have likely experienced at some point in our lives – and they can be held for any of a multitude of reasons.

Perhaps the business in question has just secured a new and lucrative client, or maybe the party is being organised for someone’s birthday? Or it might be a Christmas party, or a bash held as a ‘send-off’ to an employee who will shortly be leaving the company.

You get the idea; there are a lot of…

Whether you attend weddings a little or a lot, there’s nothing quite like a nice canape between the wedding ceremony and the wedding breakfast, as a means of getting your appetite whetted for the serving of more meaningful dishes in the company of the happy couple and guests.

But what really is a canape? For this, we could consult the dictionary definition – Cambridge English Dictionary, for example, describing it as “a small, thin, salty biscuit or small piece of bread with food such…

It probably wouldn’t be an overly revelatory declaration to make, to suggest that the luxury sector has bounced back strongly after the fading of the acute phase of the COVID-19 pandemic.

About that subject, one might ask the management consultants at Bain & Company, which found that the personal luxury goods industry experienced a V-shaped recovery during 2021. Last year, the size of the market rose back above that seen in 2019, and it has been predicted that the market could grow…

If you are a man intending to undergo an abdominal liposuction procedure, you can expect that during your consultation, your surgeon will recommend that you purchase a compression garment to be worn immediately following your initial surgery. You will then need to continue wearing the garment right through your period of recovery.

Ensuring that you have – and wear – the most suitable compression garment will be essential to your efforts to achieve the best results from your abdominal…

If you are on the lookout for a wide-format printer of truly universal applicability, you would struggle to do better than the renowned Canon ImagePROGRAF printers TM-300 and TM-200.

The TM-200 is a 24” A1 printer, while the TM-300 is a 36” A0 machine; otherwise, these two devices have plenty of performance and functionality in common. Another thing that they share right now at PrizmaGraphics, is even more attractive pricing than usual – but only for as long as stocks last.

Yes, we realise it’s a subject you’ll probably hate hearing about at this point, but it’s also one that we can’t possibly not address: that of energy expenditure and how you can best reduce it.

On the backdrop of the conflict in Ukraine, great numbers of UK residents have seen frankly terrifying rises in their energy bills. Measures have been put in place by the Government to help reduce these, including an Energy Price Guarantee, which is set to keep customers’ energy bills lower than…

The world of work, as we all know, has altered drastically over recent years. The COVID-19 pandemic helped usher in the era of the ‘hybrid office’, whereby some workers base themselves at home or in other locations away from their organisation’s premises, while others commute to their employer’s offices in the more ‘traditional’ fashion.

In still more recent times than that, we have encountered all the pressures of the cost-of-living crisis, including escalating energy, materials, and…

If you’re all about hosting the home parties everyone remembers for the finest reasons, and you haven’t yet been introduced to Flavour Blaster, it’s time to sit down as we explain to you precisely what makes this unique product such a revelation.

Flavour Blaster isn’t new; the Pro version of our cocktail smoking gun – the first such product in the world – was launched back in 2019.

A lot, of course, has happened in the world since then. And while this handheld machine with its…

Owners of property in Sotogrande and elsewhere across Andalucia will have reason to note recent changes made by the Spanish Government, a Response Plan having been approved in the wake of the conflict in Ukraine and the associated economic fallout.

The plan – which was given the go-ahead by the Council of Ministers on Tuesday, March 29 – will generate 6,000 million euros in direct aid and reduced taxes for individuals and companies.

Alongside a 20% discount on fuel, the Government…

As companies up and down the UK continue to struggle with escalating inflation and economic uncertainty, Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak has been warned that time is running out to put together the financial support package that would save ‘UK plc’ from a “perfect storm” of potentially catastrophic circumstances.

“They need to put in place support for businesses now”

As reported by The Guardian and elsewhere, British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) director general…

The short answer to this common question about life insurance is, yes. Certainly, from a legal standpoint, there are no rules preventing you from having more than one active life insurance policy at any given time. So, you are allowed to have multiple such policies, whether you have them from the same life insurance provider, or even with different companies.

But it’s one thing to know that you technically and legally can have several life insurance policies, and quite another thing to…

Much of the beauty of Gibraltar weddings is that they really can take an exceedingly wide range of forms. And that might be even more the case if you are a same-sex couple looking to tie the knot, given that there are a lot of long-time wedding traditions that were conceived in the first place with opposite-sex nuptials in mind, and which you will be able to ditch for your own special day, if you wish.

Or should you ditch them? After all, there are some old-time traditions from the…

The continued importance and relevance of carpentry skills simply cannot be doubted. Carpentry is a time-honoured skilled trade that entails such routinely essential work as the construction of furniture and fittings, repair and renewal work, and a variety of other woodworking projects.

There are, then, a lot of opportunities in carpentry in the Britain of today. But do you possess the qualifications that would enable you to take advantage of those opportunities – or more specifically,…

What a frenzied and bruising year it’s been – and no less for businesses, which are continuing to face a wide range of stresses, from staff shortages to escalating costs. When you add the obligation for Christmas preparations on top of all that… well, it’s understandable that many business owners might feel overwhelmed by the wealth of responsibilities in front of them.

So, for today’s blog post, we aren’t outlining simply the most obvious things a business can do to ready itself for…

It might seem odd in some ways for us to suggest that much friction would necessarily arise between a search engine optimisation (SEO) expert and a graphic designer over the course of a website overhaul they are both working on. After all, they are surely working towards a shared goal of creating a more impactful and successful online presence for their client, and both SEO and graphic design will play crucial roles in the effectiveness of your own brand’s digital marketing online.…

We’re coming up to that time of year again… no, not Christmas preparations, or even necessarily ‘Dry January’, but a phenomenon that – at least if you’re doing things ‘by the calendar’ – you can get involved in right now.

Yes, we are, of course, referring to ‘Sober October’. As recently reported by The Independent, Sober October isn’t new as such – having been established by Macmillan Cancer Support in 2014, and gone on to help raise more than £33 million for the charity.

And…
