While you will have no doubt got all the technical details of your upcoming corporate event in hand, such as the venue, subject, and speakers, there are a few elements that can be overlooked that are no less important than the event itself.

But don’t worry, because your team can help ensure these things will be overlooked no more thanks to this guide, detailing handy hints we have picked up during our time catering for corporateevents.

Will your event be catered?

Christmas parties are great fun – or they tend to be for most people, anyway – but they can also be stressful, particularly for those tasked with arranging the details. Organising them can take time and effort, especially if you’re working in a large company.

Fortunately, we have put together the top five things you need to remember to do when arranging your corporate Christmas bash.

Ranging from dress code dilemmas to corporate catering in the UK, read on for all you need to…

Luxury brands have traditionally used loyalty schemes in a different way from other brands. Because high-end brands don’t give discounts, they tend to use such schemes to offer something more appropriate to their target audiences.

That ‘something appropriate’ could take the form of an invitation to an exclusive event, or perhaps a tiny giveaway. However, with world events like the pandemic having led to greater online activity and less face-to-face interaction, what elements would we…

While the period between Christmas Day and many people’s return to post-Christmas working life from early January can be a magical time to catch up with friends and family and share in the joy of the festive season, it’s fair to say it can also be a slightly… awkward time.

And by that, we aren’t just talking about the decision of whether you should demolish that third or fourth chocolate box. We are, of course, touching on the awkward situation for businesses at such a time of year,…

Our longstanding reputation as an online store for all manner of wide-format printing solutions is based in large part on our commitment to providing the most versatile products to suit a broad range of needs and circumstances – and this is certainly something that can be said of our latest Matt WaterfastPolyprop media.

What do you need to know about this large-format media?

With the lovely autumnal British weather having at last hit us, we thought it would be an apposite moment…

LNG infrastructures in main bunkering hubs around the world will help the shipping industry make the move to a more sustainable fuel proposition.

The regulation of greenhouse gas emissions in the shipping industry has been made a priority by the United Nations (UN) through the International Maritime Organization (IMO). The IMO has set targets to reduce the industry’s carbon emissions by at least 50 per cent by 2050. Meeting these targets will require ships producing substantially less…

How can you get started with the pairing of flavours in your cocktails?

It’s easy to feel intimidated by the thought of attempting to build original cocktails, and for very understandable reasons.

After all, the finest cocktails are based on finely balanced elements. In a way, being a mixologist – even a deeply amateur one – can feel like being a mechanic working on a car; the elements of a given cocktail are akin to the components of an engine, and if just a single ingredient is…

Analytics will always have a key role to play in effective workplace optimisation in the call centre, and the most widely used type of interaction analytics functionality is historical post-call speech analytics.

When speech analytics solutions first began to be implemented, the focus was generally on the analysis of large numbers of recorded calls, with this often occurring a significant period of time after the actual event.

Back then, speech analytics solutions tended to be…

If any further evidence was needed of the extent to which the market for Spanish property has bounced back emphatically since the lifting of coronavirus restrictions, it has certainly been provided by new statistics showing a massive jump in property purchases by foreigners in the space of just a year.

As reported by several sources including Spanish News Today, a 41.9% increase in such property purchases was recorded in the second half of 2021, compared to the situation a year…

When you are comparing construction training providers like YTA, and considering which training options could most help take you to the place you wish your career to be, you might initially have in mind the notion of committing at least a few days to a course. However, that doesn’t always have to be the case.

Consider, for example, our Experienced Worker Practical Assessment (EWPA) routes. As the term suggests, the EWPA pathway is about assessment, rather than training. EWPA options are…

On Thursday 17th November, Chancellor of the Exchequer Jeremy Hunt announced his Autumn Statement, setting out what he described as a “plan for stability, growth and public services”.

But what proposals were set out in the statement that were of relevance to those working with transport planning and infrastructure design consultants, and which Mr Hunt said would enable the UK to “face into the storm” of the global energy, inflation, and economic crisis?

What is sightseeing in Ronda truly about? Many admirers of this historically charming Andalucian town might initially cite such widely known attractions as the majestic 18th-century Puente Nuevo, the 13th and 14th-century BañosArabes (Arab Baths), and the Plaza de Toros bullfighting ring.

But there’s at least one other thing that Ronda is especially known for among great numbers of discerning travellers; its credentials as a focal point for wine tourism.

To this day, the area…

The question of whether the purchase of Sotogrande property represents a good investment is essentially a two-part one: whether property in Sotogrande is a good investment, and whether property in Spain as a whole is.

The great news is that there is plenty of reason to believe we can answer with an emphatic “yes” to both of those questions. So, let’s take a closer look at some of the factors that might make buying a property in Sotogrande an especially wise choice for you from an…

It’s that time of year again, when you are likely to find that the outdoor conditions here in the UK simply do not lend themselves to hospitable swimming. So, if you haven’t done so already, you might have to take the steps now to ‘winterise’ your pool.

A winter swimming pool cover will be fundamental to your efforts to do that, enabling you to better protect your pool against the elements. But what questions should you be asking as you seek to make the right choice of such cover?…

If your own direct experience of prefab school buildings is largely restricted to structures that may have been designed and erected many years or even decades ago, you could be forgiven for not realising just how profoundly the modular buildings of the 2020s differ.

So, if you are in a role such as a school administrator or head teacher and you are curious to know more about what today’s modular classrooms represent, here are just some of the ways in which they vary from the often…

If you have ever questioned the crucial role that process agents can play in financial transactions between UK and non-UK parties, it might be instructive to look at just one example of a dispute that arose several years back.

The case in question, Banco San Juan Internacional, Inc. v Petroleos De Venezuela, S.A., culminated in an English court considering whether the borrowing party had been validly served, in a situation where the borrower had not complied with its contractual…

1. Set a date & enquire with the caterers

The first step to planning the perfect christmas party is setting a date. If you are thinking of finding a caterer for your party, make sure you ask as much in advance as possible about their availability, as Christmas is one of the busiest times for us.

2. Establish a budget

Defining a budget early on will make the planning process much easier. Make sure you set a comfortable budget for yourself that includes food, drinks, staff,…

If you are a business leader, what is your stance on employees of yours continuing to work from home or otherwise remotely in 2022? Do you see it as a positive development, or would you prefer your employees to base themselves back in the traditional office?

There will inevitably be differing views on the issue, which is why it interested us to read a story from the LondonlovesBusinesswebsite, indicating that three in every five business leaders in the UK are struggling to get their…

While a lot of people may wonder why one would choose to tie the knot in a ‘sun-drenched’ Mediterranean destination such as Gibraltar during the winter, this is something we have previously discussed in detail on the Sweet Gibraltar Weddings blog. In short, choosing somewhere warm and sunny at a slightly less ‘intense’ time of year (in several senses of that word) can be just the thing enabling many couples to strike the perfect balance.

Now, presuming you have decided on a winter…

Here at Zawzor, we’re great believers in the power of stockings and holdups to make wearers feel fabulously sexy and confident – you’ve probably got a sense of that already if you’ve browsed our online range.

But the process of buying stockings or holdups as a present for that special someone can undoubtedly be… tricky. So, it’s crucial to arm yourself with some relevant pieces of knowledge, such as the below.

What ‘denier’ is
