What are you looking for?

 




Hello,

Welcome to our latest October edition of Quick™ eNews, and here is hoping it’s not a Trick but more a Treat!

This month is the deadline for all entries for the prestigious Queens Awards for Excellence, and with all the publicity they have been drumming up this year I hope you all have your applications in.

We also have Sky One continuing to drum up interest in their new series of Hard Sell on the UK Business Forums, and for business owners who wish to take part in the series. If your sales team need a boost I suggest you have a look at http://www.ukbusinessforums.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=23985

What will be the biggest challenge faced by your business in 2007?

Take a short survey and win a European city break for two!

Surveylab is conducting an online survey about businesses' priorities for 2007. It will take less than 5 minutes - and as a thank you all participants will be entered into a free prize draw to win a European city break of their choice (up to a value of £800). Take the survey here ... www.surveylab.co.uk/ukbf/

The survey is on behalf of Alliance & Leicester Commercial Bank but rest assured all responses are anonymous  and Alliance & Leicester will not contact you in response to any answers given.



What's hot the UK Business Forums this month?

With rumours of Ecademy being up for sale at £20m, and many new media companies investigating the option of online communities to raise their company profiles, taking part in one of the most established and largest online business forum communities is definitely something that can only help your business. Just spend 20 minutes looking through www.ukbusinessforums.co.uk and I’m confident you will see the benefit to your business. It’s not just for small businesses, but all businesses, and it is completely free.

This is just a small section of activity on the forums, but is a long way off the 350+ posts a day we receive on the forums.

The UK Business Forums have continued to grow with over 5,100 members of which more than 1,500 actively network and support each other online each week. This powerful community can help grow and support your business, and even better it is completely free to join in and take part. So why not visit www.ukbusinessforums.co.uk and start today!


This Years Christmas Gifts

This year, as with every year, we will be making charitable contributions to good causes instead of sending Christmas cards. This years beneficiaries are Kislingbury Primary School where we have purchased some gifts for their reception class and we have made a financial donation to the Warwickshire and Northamptonshire Air Ambulance service.

Wishing you all the very best and take care on Bonfire Night.
