For significant numbers of the high-end businesses that work alongside our own digital marketing agency for fashion brands at Skywire London, the “Big Five” global fashion weeks continue to serve as crucial bellwethers for the future direction of this fast-moving industry.

Speaking of fast-moving, it might seem like it was only yesterday when many of us were discussing the implications of the collections on show at the…

Even a few years on from when the cost-of-living crisis first hogged the headlines, small businesses up and down the UK continue to be under pressure.

In any case, as the summer gradually makes way for the autumn, you will probably be looking at how your firm can position itself best for the busy Christmas season. That, in turn, brings fresh pressures as far as small-business spending is concerned.

It is difficult to discuss swimming pool chemicals for very long, without venturing onto the topic of pool chlorine. You might already know that chlorine plays a fundamental role in making sure any given pool water is pleasant and safe to swim in.

However, do you know what constitutes an appropriate level of chlorine in a pool, or the indicators that the chlorine in your pool…

For observers in some quarters, it might sometimes seem as if the rapid rise of remote and hybrid working patterns over recent years has merely been an incidental consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Certain data might seem to back up this view. As of 2019, for example – just prior to the pandemic – only 4.7% of UK employees worked from home.

Fast-forward to April 2020 – when the first lockdown was in place – and some 46.6% of UK employees did at least part of their job from…

Many people have embraced “industrial chic” in their homes in recent years, and you might feel drawn towards the same style. You wouldn’t necessarily have to look far for inspiration, after all.

Many homes (and even offices) have been fashioned from what used to be industrial units. Meanwhile, if you have recently converted your loft, you may have reacted with delight at seeing the exposed wooden panels and beams and taking in how good they look.

What you may not have realised,…

The recent State Opening of Parliament – the first since the Labour Party’s return to power in July under Sir Keir Starmer – offered no shortage of the pomp and ceremony that characterises such fundamental state occasions.

Of particular relevance for transport consultants, however, were the transport-related elements of His Majesty King Charles III’s most gracious speech, which revealed much about the new Government’s agenda for the 2024-25 parliamentary session.

While they were…

Many a high-end brand has been seeing strong sales in Japan lately. However, this is not quite the unequivocal cause for celebration that some observers might initially imagine it to be.

As recently reported by Yahoo! Finance, tourists have been heading to Japan in big numbers with a particular goal on their minds: splurging on desirable clothes and handbags at prices somewhat lower than those to which they are accustomed back home.

An unexpected growth driver for the Japanese…

Given that our own boot fitters have decades of experience between them, we aren’t afraid to say that our own shop in Dry Drayton, near Cambridge, is the best place for ski boot fitting in the UK. After leaving with your new…

The concept of buying in bulk to save money is a familiar one for a wide range of individuals and organisations. The broad principle is that if you buy large quantities of almost anything, the price of each individual unit tends to be priced lower as a result.

In one sense, it sounds like a guaranteed saving. For instance, our own shredded tissue paper wholesale service here at Shredded-Paper.co.uk enables you to…

In this article, we examine the new planning proposals and other new legislation we can expect to directly or indirectly impact the residential property market in the coming months.

It might seem obvious enough that if you have a swimming pool at home, you will want it to be comfortable, safe, and healthy for every member of your household to swim in. However, in order to achieve this, you will need to take every necessary step to ensure optimal water balance in your pool.

What do we mean by ‘water balance’ in swimming pools?

When sources such as our own online store for swimming pool chemicals refer to “water balance”, they are referring to the practice of…
