When Britain leaves Europe, will it affect you? Can you prepare for any changes? Or is it too soon and you’ll have to wait for a year or more before you can decide what to do? We’ve been asked these questions since the day the referendum result was announced. That was a difficult day: having […]
If you walked around Brighton and Hove in the autumn, you probably saw some of the 44 colourful Snowdog sculptures. Designed by a wide range of artists, they were sold by auction and raised more than £337,000 for Martlets Hospice. Many are now in private homes and some are in offices. One was bought in […]
We joined more than 100 other businesses from Sussex and Kent…
Changes at work can feel like they happen out of the blue, sometimes as companies react to events – good or bad. Often the decisions to look for new kinds of customers or restructure to have different roles have been discussed, debated and considered by managers before they’re announced to everyone. Although that might not […]
We bounce around Sussex, get to know places and that means we hear about things going on. Festivals, carnivals, fairs, art events, shows, markets and everything else. The Love Festival started in 2013 as part of an annual arts week in Littlehampton. So if you fancy a trip down to,or along the coast, it’s on […]
Running a company sometimes feels like a marathon. Just when things settle down, somebody leaves or a problem happens. Things keep changing and you have to work out how to deal with them – and that includes getting employees to help. Sometimes they might not be able to, which means you have to decide whether […]
Hope you have a wonderful bank holiday! Relax and enjoy the long 3-day weekend.

We like to support community events around Sussex. We also like all kinds of music. So RadioReverb, a community radio station, ticks all those boxes. RadioReverb has no advertising and no set playlists – DJs can play whatever they like. It makes for great shows and if you don’t like a track then something very […]
We regularly run a practical “greatest hits” training course for busy managers, to improve your skills and confidence in a wide range of areas. We like to offer special services for our clients when we can. So instead of the usual course fees of around £250 per person, we will charge our clients a maximum […]
We sometimes work with people who want to pay in other currencies. Usually they’re based outside the UK and need our help with UK employment issues. We also take payments by Paypal. So we thought we should go a little further and let people know this. Now we’re happy to announce that you can use […]
Some words make your heart sink and we know that “policy” and “handbook” are among them. Nobody starts the working day looking forward to a discussion about policies and employee handbooks. So why bother? Well, why have any rules at all – can’t you just make it up as you go along? The short answer’s […]
Employers are starting to talk about having to set up pension schemes. We’re not pension experts and we’re not going to waste your time getting involved – but we thought we would offer some tips and advice. An estimated 770,000 UK employers with between 1 and 49 employees must provide and contribute into a pension […]
If you employ anyone 25 or older on pay levels based on the Minimum Wage, you will have to put their pay up by about £1,000 a year soon. Then it will carry on increasing by roughly the same amount each year, so it’s going to have a big impact on some employers’ budgets. The […]

We’ve supported: Brighton & Hove Chamber of Commerce http://www.businessinbrighton.org.uk/ Brighton & Hove LGBT […]

You can buy £5, £10 or £25 vouchers and use them for a wide range of things including shops, cafes, restaurants, artists, […]
The Apprentice is back on our TV screens and I confess I’m not a huge fan. With my HR hat on, I find the tasks, arguments and competitiveness cringeworthy and end up throwing the remote at the screen in frustration. I do appreciate it is entertaining and funny but I wonder how many viewers think […]
