New Minister

John Penrose MP announced as the new Minister for Tourism

It has been announced that John Penrose MP is the new Minister for Tourism, although his exact title is yet to be confirmed.

His constituency is Weston-Super-Mare (where he has been an MP since 2005), so he will have an inherent understanding of the importance of tourism.

He has a strong business background, having worked in his earlier career for management consultants McKinsey and in banking for JPMorgan. In the Shadow Cabinet he was Minister for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform. He was also a member of both the Regulatory Reform and Work & Pensions Select Committees.

Prior to being elected to Parliament, he was a publisher and Chairman of Logotron Ltd, a small independent company creating educational software for schools, and used to be Managing Director of Longman, publishing school textbooks for the UK and parts of Africa. He has aslo worked in publishing for Thomson.

John lives with his wife in his constituency, in the village of Winscombe. His hobbies are fishing and beekeeping, and he is also chair of the All-Party Honey Bees Group. He is fluent in French and German.

Sales And Marketing Course

Today iam going to talk about a sales and marketing course on social media i attended yesterday the main speaker was Nick Baggott a very respected name in this field.Nick was worked for companys all over the world Including CA, Yell, Surrey Police, Diageo, Allied Irish Bank, Vertu, O2, Lloyds TSB Insurance, Reuters, William Grant, Unilever, American Idol, Mitsubishi UFJ, British Medical Association, Dyson, Manchester United, Transport for London, Google, HSBC, RBS, Kodak.


“The same rules still apply:
We are just working on a broader canvas
with a richer set of colours”

Financial journalists are increasingly embracing digital platforms and social media, according to Broadgate Mainland's 2010 digital trends survey.The research suggests that almost four in ten financial journalists are now active on Twitter, with 70 per cent of those who use the platform finding it invaluable to keep abreast of developments in their field. Almost 60 per cent said they used Twitter to actively search for news.

The survey also reveals that three quarters of financial journalists now class themselves as multimedia journalists, rather than journalists concentrating on a single media.

However, financial services companies are lagging behind somewhat in their use of digital. Half of all journalists complain that the websites of financial services companies are not easy to navigate or lack the information that they need, with the main gripe being that press releases are not updated frequently enough. Journalists pointed to the website of the Financial Services Authority as the best example of good digital practice.

Sarah Evans-Toyne, head of digital at Broadgate Mainland, said: 'The financial services industry has been a slow adopter of digital communications techniques, largely because of regulatory concerns. However, our 2010 digital trends survey supports the emerging evidence that digital channels are becoming increasingly powerful and persuasive. PR advisers need to adapt to the changes in the communications landscape to provide information in the way that suits the needs of most journalists.'

Additionally, journalists are interacting more with their audience. Some 70 per cent of financial journalists say their editorial views are affected by online comments on their stories or blogs from readers.

WILLINGCOTT VALLEY



Willingcott Valley is a wonderful combination of a family holiday park in a great location, but without the chaos which so often accompanies a busy seaside resort.

We are situated only 2 miles from the world famous blue flag beaches of Woolacombe and Putsborough yet the peace and serenity of the Willingcott environment affords a welcome relief to those who live busy and stressful lives.

Our cottages range from 2 bedrooms through to 4 bedroom properties, providing the perfect holiday accommodation. We benefit from a Bar & Restaurant set within the holiday complex, outdoor swimming pool for use by holiday makers, along with an 18 hole golf course.

Pets are not allowed on site, however we can give personal recommendation on local kennels should you wish.

Good Morning

So its Wednesday where most people are thinking about the weekend already
but in business thats a mistake so here are some motivational phrases i like:

"Its the lack of faith that makes people afraid of meeting challanges and i believe in myself" Muhammed Ali

"The only person who can tell you "you can't" is you and you dont have to listen" Nike

"Its Easy to have faith and discipline when you're a winner, when you're number 1. When you got to have faith and discipline is when your not a winner. vince Lombardi

"i hated every minute of training, but i said, dont quit." suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion Muhammed Ali

So today when your thinking what to do this weekend think of these sayings and go get the buisness.
