Is this the end for the Motor Trade?
1970-01-01 00:59:59
From 1st July 2007 the UK bans smoking in enclosed public places with as many as 600,000 people forecast to quit smoking as a result. This article looks at if charging people to drive will have similar results for the Motor Trade .In The Beatles classic song Taxman the lyric goes, "We'll tax your feet". Whilst the government hasn't yet decided to do this it seems the introduction of "pay as you drive" schemes may soon be hitting the roads of the UK but what impact (if any) will this have on the UK Motor Trade.Well there appears to be a few factors that road users might want to consider:- If you're a driver who drives infrequently or at less busy times you could end up paying less.- Or you might drive an average number of miles but due to you driving at rush hours (on you way to/from work or school) you will end up paying more money- You may want to use public transport more often- You and your friends may set up a car pool scheme so you take it in turns to drive- If you sp

However consumers' needs and expectations are constantly changing and the most successful companies will anticipate these needs and will offer solutions to meet them. And when it comes to the Motor Trade it's possible t

1970-01-01 00:59:59
1. Be honest. It may sound the most obvious statement but forgotten or inaccurate information could affect your insurance at a later date. Your motto should be, if in doubt, disclose it. Whether you've had a small bump in a supermarket car park or have made a claim against your liability insurance - tell your insurance broker or company up front or when it happens2. Use an insurance broker if you can't spare the time to phone or shop around yourself. An insurance broker will search a large number of leading insurers for you so you could save money as well as time.

Is the BBC bucking the trend with its Nursery closures?
1970-01-01 00:59:59
In light of the recent news that the BBC will be saving more than £4 million by the closure of its workplace nurseries this article looks at if this fate is likely to hit more nurseries or if the BBC is bucking the trend.Regardless of whether you agree or disagree with the BBC’s decision to spend the £4.1 million saved from nursery closures on programming or not, the closure of 7 subsidised nurseries would at first glance appear to be against the norm.In fact closing of nurseries would appear to be the complete opposite of what is actually required if figures available from the likes of the Department of Education (DfES) are to be believed. Figures such as:1. The proportion of 3 and 4 year olds in nurseries and pre school education in the UK has risen by nearly 45% since 1970 (in 1970-71 it was 21% compared to 65% in 2003/04)2.

Motor Trader Insurance - 4 ways in which an Insurance Broker can help your business
2007-03-01 11:57:00
Before we start to look at why using an insurance broker could be the perfect way to buy your Motor Trader Insurance let’s start off with a few supposed truths about the insurance industry.Number 1 – Let’s be honest from the beginning and just say it – most people don’t like insurance. For most people losses rarely occur and therefore they are paying out insurance premiums year on year and yet they don’t actually see any real benefit of it.Number 2 – Most people (even those who have suffered a loss and have made a claim) see insurance as too expensive with actual insurance companies seen as money grabbing and having no purpose other than to make money.Number 3 – People see insurance as either boring and sold by men in suits or sold using annoying advertising on the television promising cheap or the cheapest insurance and delivering call centres who seemingly have replaced customer service with queues and staff who don’t really know what they are talking about.If you

There are many historic dates in history ranging from 14 February for lovers to 25 December for Christians and lovers of buying and receiving presents.So what about 1 October? And why is October 1st significant when it comes to planes, trains and lawyers?Well let’s start with the planes as on 1 October in 1881 the American Engineer and aviation pioneer William Edward Boeing was born in Detroit, Michigan. The name Boeing remains one of the most recognizable throughout the aviation world even now over half a century since his death.So what about the trains then? And why is October 1 such an important date in the railway world? This time we have to go back to just October 1st 1964 which is when the world’s first high speed railway, the Tokaido Shinkansen (or the Japanese Bullet train), opened between Tokyo and Shin-Osaka. By it’s 40th anniversary in 2004 over 4.16 billion passengers had traveled on the Tokaido route and it today remains the world’s most heavily traveled railway ro

Protection, safety, education and care for children seemingly comes’ at a price as childcare costs for pre-school children continues to rise. This article looks at what nurseries, day cares, kindergartens’ and out of school clubs can do to help keep their costs under control by saving money.According to the Daycare Trusts Childcare Costs Survey 2007, childcare costs for pre-school children in England continue to steadily rise. An example being that for a child under the age of 2 in England, the typical cost of a full time nursery place has risen by 6% in the past year to £7900 per year (or £152 per week).And the typical out of school club is now £38 for 15 hours in England and Scotland with the cost £34 for out of school clubs in Wales.So if parents are having to pay more for child care facilities it would seem logical that nurseries and other child care providers would look at making sure they remain competitive by making sure their own expenditure is constantly reviewed and k

Is it worth risking it all for cheap insurance?
