Welcome to Business in Berkshire
Good Morning

Yesterday got off to a great start. A call from BBC Berkshire to be part of their Berkshire Blog! I was promoting the www.fatfriend.co.uk, take a look and join in.

Next up, made a list of "20 things to do today"... how many did I get ticked off by the end of the day? About 2 and a half! New rule, only one appointment a day from now on!

Check out today's news, very corporate, I'm very proud of what we have achieved and where we are going with Business in Berkshire. We do what we say on the tin, we have led the way and taken a quality strategy, rather than the "stack 'em high" approach of the many impersonators.

Enjoy and do tell your friends, they can sign up via the home page and put your name in as referee... let's make it interesting... all those that get 3 new people signed up for our newsletter, before the end of the week, will be put in a hat and the lucky winner gets a Special Feature experience!

Regards,
