If, however, you are among those in the latter category who have been purchasing from our range of shredded kraft tissue for gifts this Christmas season, it is…

So, let’s look through some of the justifications you may have for getting in touch with our health…

Many people who choose to learn a trade in the UK opt to become bricklayers, and here at YTA, we can’t say we are greatly surprised by this. There will, after all, almost certainly always be considerable demand for bricklayers. We expect that to be very much the case in the years following COVID-19, as the UK economy revs up again.

Experienced bricklayers can rise to positions like construction site supervisor, and…

What’s the secret to picking the perfect present for someone? There are, of course, a lot of schools of thought on this kind of thing. Some articles you read online on this subject will suggest paying close attention to what your intended recipient says about what they need or want in their lives. Or you might aim to buy something especially unusual, or that refers specifically to the nature of the relationship you have with the recipient – such as something romantic.

We’re sure you’ll agree with us that in your capacity as a landlord, very few things will be as important to you as ensuring the most responsible gas safety practices in your rental property. In any case, it is legally required for landlords to arrange to have a Gas Safe registered engineer safety-test their rented property’s gas appliances every 12 months.

If, then, you are looking for a company that can issue Wimbledon, Clapham and…

Of course, I’m being a little cheeky with the title to this blog post. Even as one of the leading website design companies in the UK here at PENNInk Productions, we wouldn’t tell you that you need to be constantly arranging for your perfectly good existing website to be comprehensively redesigned or replaced.

This, in turn, might beg the question… why would we discourage you from having a new website built…

Given its status as a highly exclusive and sought-after residential development – lived in and frequented by many members of the global elite – it almost goes without saying that people talking to estate agents in Sotogrande are often especially interested in the answer to one question.

That question is: if I buy a property here, will I automatically have the right to live in Spain right through the year?

The…

In another strong sign of the ever-increasing role digital bookkeeping and other technological solutions can play in helping to power business success, new research has suggested that the UK’s small and micro businesses could miss out on a growth opportunity of around £827 billion over the coming half-decade if they are not supported to digitise.

This is the conclusion reached by a report commissioned by…

How are the sales of property in Sotogrande and elsewhere across Spain holding up during these curious times, as the country and the world gradually emerge from the coronavirus crisis? The short answer is very nicely indeed, as shown by new figures indicating the overall number of Spanish property sales made to buyers from outside the country went up during 2021’s second quarter.

More specifically, just over 13,600 properties…

With the UK Government having encouraged people in England to return to the office since July, many observers have been wondering whether this advice could change in the event of a surge in COVID-19 cases over the winter.

Across the rest of the UK, staff are still being encouraged to work from home where possible. So, amid worries about the current coronavirus case numbers, could now be the right moment for England to follow suit?

What is the present advice in England, and what…

The UK Government has responded to pressure from professional bodies by confirming a one-year postponement to its comprehensive digital tax reforms.

The ‘Making Tax Digital’ initiative would have required 4.3 million self-employed people and small businesses to maintain digital records and report their income to HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) on a quarterly, rather than annual basis from April 2023.

Now, however, the introduction of these measures has been rescheduled to April…

There’s a school of thought that says if you have the wherewithal to even consider holding your wedding abroad in the first place, you might as well go “all out”. After all, you’re realising your dream, so why would you want to do things by halves?

In reality, of course, we all know that dreams frequently cost serious money! And that’s even the case with Gibraltar weddings sometimes, too, despite their advantages…

The ImagePROGRAF name has long been synonymous with the high-quality and efficient printing made possible by Canon large-format printers – and now, four more models have broken cover.

More specifically, Canon Europe has ushered in the autumn by launching four wide-format printers making up the GP series. These include the 44-inch GP-4000 and the 24-inch GP-2000, which both use 10…

Doesn’t Christmas seem to come around faster every year? Well, to be fair, it might not have felt quite that way for you this time, for understandable reasons.

The past two years have been one of the toughest periods that many of us can remember, especially as far as our fitness routines are concerned. Indeed, it’s only very recently that the UK’s gyms, leisure centres and other sporting venues have been able to build up some real momentum again – and the same could be said for some of…

It’s unquestionably one of the swimming pool dilemmas that most of us least want to have; lifting off our pool cover with a quick, relaxing dip in mind, only to instead be confronted by our previously crystal-clear pool water having turned green.

This is a classic sign of algae having proliferated in a swimming pool. But what are the different forms of algae that could cause peril to your own pool, and what steps can you take to prevent and combat the growth of this notorious plant…

Peninsula Sees Robust Future For Scrubbers Amid High Oil Prices

High sulfur fuel oil paired with flue-gas scrubbers will continue to be a part of the marine fuel bunker mix until sustainable fuels become cost-competitive and as long as oil prices remain high, John Bassadone, the CEO of Bunker Supply Peninsula, told S&P Global Platts.

Looking ahead, LNG, which has the best-developed infrastructure among potential future…

Here at TAG Consultancy, we’re sure you’ll agree with us that the past 18 months have posed challenges to businesses throughout Gibraltar – and the wider world – quite unlike those seen previously in living memory. It’s great, then, to see signs of a sterling recovery in the global economy by this point in 2021, with all manner of interesting initiatives underway.

One such initiative is the six-part series of podcasts that has just been announced by the Gibraltar Federation of Small…

If you’re purchasing shredded paper for the festive season – whether you run an online store that might use it as packaging material, or you are an individual making use of its qualities for another purpose such as arts and crafts projects – you will hopefully be well underway with doing so by now.

One tricky task you might have when ordering shredded paper from a source like us, however, is deciding on the exact volume of such paper you will require.

Our simple word of advice…

Could Limescale Be The Enemy Driving Up Your Energy Bills ?

There has been a lot of debate lately about how much households are spending on energy, amid rising prices. And with the winter of 2021 on the horizon, it is fair to say that many families – in London, the South East and beyond – are feeling the need to crank up their heating in order to feel comfortable.

We’ve previously written about various ways you can minimise your own energy bills – but could there be a culprit for…
