I have spent much of my working life living abroad and one of the things that has struck me as strange when I have returned back to the UK is that the British have a very different attitude to their vehicles than the Americans or South Africans.

That is the level of customer service that you receive in every single client facing business in the United States. Whether it be in a restaurant, in a retail outlet or in an office situation the...

One of the reasons that so few leaflet distribution companies in today's market place are large enough to offer truly nationwide coverage is simply down to the fact that they...
