Good
morning <Demo - Name>
At the end of last week I heard
that the company that ran B2B Thames Valley had run into difficulties. The
organisation had ceased trading... the question really needs to be why were
they still taking deposits off people in January? I hope one of the traditional
local newspapers can afford to pay one of its journalists to look into this
more deeply. If for no other reason that to illustrate how you can't grow fast
in many directions without there being fallout.
On a more positive note,
those of you who are running Corporate events in Berkshire that you'd like our
readers to know about should get it touch. We've created a corporate event
section that needs filling with lots of fun stuff for the spring and
summer!
How will you be getting to those corporate events this year? How
environmentally friendly is your car?
Enjoy
these stories and a host of other news and events below.
B2B Portfolio has
Ceased Trading
B2B Portfolio, the organisers of the
B2B Thames Valley event, have run into financial difficulties resulting in the
organisation ceasing trading last week. It seems there has been no official
notification or announcement by the company, leaving many customers unaware of
this development.
B2B Portfolio comprised a series of seven business
exhibitions and conferences across the UK, targeted at key decision makers,
buyers, owners, managers and directors representing small to medium-sized
companies. The Thames Valley event took place in September 2006 and attracted
around 200 exhibitors.

As part of our ongoing plan to
develop and grow Business in Berkshire, we will be focusing more and more on

through the pages of Business in Berkshire.
We want to encourage
companies to use Business in Berkshire as a resource to publicise their
corporate events. Because our articles are readily picked up by Google and all
major search engines, publicising an event on our website and newsletters is

Friendly Cars
How environmentally friendly is your car?
Windsor Vehicle Leasing offers advice on minimizing your car’s carbon
footprint:
Environmental issues, carbon footprints, sustainability,
being green, the planet’s future – we are constantly being warned
about the problems our planet faces as a result of our carelessness. You really
want to do ‘your bit’ so you review the biggest polluter you own:
your car. But is it even possible to drive a ‘green’ car?
The
number of ethical options is increasing, starting with basics such as a smaller
car or a fuel-efficient diesel engine.

Applying for a
Mortgage
Applying for a mortgage
The fun part of
house-hunting is now over, the offer’s been accepted and it’s time to
apply for your mortgage!
Go it alone or use a broker?
There are
endless forms and many options associated with mortgages. It’s well worth
speaking to a financial adviser (sometimes known as a broker) first to get
things clear in your head. Unless of course you’re very clued up on
interest rates, or a broker yourself, it’s best to get advice.
The
Offer
The “offer” is the amount of money that you’re
prepared to pay for a property. A 10% deposit is usually required, so it’s
a good idea to understand what you can afford first. When the offer’s been
accepted, you then need to find out which lender will lend you the remainder.
You do can this either online or through a broker.
