A good website is your gateway to new customers and new markets – but if it isn't loved and cared for, it may not fulfil your expectations.

So how do you know whether it's working (or not)? Do you measure its performance or do you simply rely on the level of footfall as an indicator? Do you update it regularly?

To help answer these questions, here's a lightning look at websites, measurement and why updates matter.

If you’re anything like me you probably don’t give much thought to what will happen when your computer won’t work properly.

Scratch that.

You don’t think twice about how you’ll run your business/arrange your social life/keep in touch, without the use of a computer. Well, at least I didn’t, and that’s what happened to me when my laptop decided enough was enough.

Fortunately, the IT Centre was on hand and before I knew it my hard drive was safely housed in an external caddy and I was up and running, meanwhile my laptop was having open heart surgery.

Leasing a car over a short period of time - typically 2 to 4 years - will almost always work out cheaper than a car loan. This is because you are paying the difference between the sale price and the resale value, rather than paying the full price of the car plus interest.

Car leasing is also a good option for those who don’t have a large sum of cash to use as a down-payment and car financing will place less of a strain on your finances each month as it typically works out cheaper than most purchasing options.

Asbestos must be properly managed to prevent illness and, in some cases death.

The following legislations;
• Health & Safety at Work Act
• CAR (The Control of Asbestos Regulations) 2006
• CDM (Construction, Design and Management)
place a duty on those responsible for the maintenance and repair of rented commercial buildings to manage asbestos by having a survey and up to date register in place.

Each week approximately 20 tradesmen die as a result of asbestos and those who fail to comply will be in breach of the law and could face fines and possible imprisonment.
