MP shows the Wright way for the FSB

Shropshire Branch

MP shows the Wright way for the FSB

David Wright MP bought himself closer to the Telford business community, recently, by listening to and taking up causes from members of the Federation of Small Businesses at the recent Shropshire branch networking meeting.

On a warm night at Meeting Point house in Telford, David Wright MP answered questions from members on VAT, finance, the local council and future policies to see the country out of recession, there was also discussions on how the Shropshire business community can become more powerful, and approach the council in stronger ways.

David took on board a lot of the comments, offered his view on most and assisted in looking at ways forward.

Ray Hickinbottom, membership manager and event organiser for the branch said “we are a non-political lobbying group for small businesses, and David Wright MP very kindly offered his services to come and listen to how life is on the shop floor so to speak, indeed one of our members had a call from the MP in regards VAT, just as he was about to pose the query in the House of Commons. It is part of our series of events, our main aim is to bring the issues real people are experiencing, into sharp focus to the people that need to know, and our thanks go out to David for making the time to see us.”

The conversation was free flowing and everybody got to make their point at the meeting, it was local business owner of a logistics firm and FSB member, Ben Coates, that posed the VAT question, and he added “I recently spoke to the VAT office with regards setting up a monthly payment scheme, rather than new businesses having to find a huge lump sum every 3 months, however this was not available, when I mentioned it to Mr Wright he seemed to agree that the idea of enabling new businesses to budget this way, made sense, and of course it would help with Cash Flow.”

“I wrote to David as he asked me to, then I received a call three weeks later, with the question that was to be asked. The MP said he was about to table it and was outside the chancellor’s office as we spoke. Without the FSB I would feel isolated, so I have to thank my local branch for offering me the chance to move my idea forward.”

Ray added, “Since we met with David, he has invited us to take a group down to parliament for a tour, and has also booked a committee room so we are able to move discussions forward, we are not committed to any political party, our ties are firmly with the local business community who we represent.”

Up and coming FSB events include:

Monthly Networking meeting at Meeting Point house, 21^st June, 19^th July and the yearly social event, September 20^th, venue to be arranged.

Behave Liverpool and Suarez

2012-01-04T13:53:00.000-08:00

This is not a blog to have a go at a Liverpool player or the club; this is about what is right in the UK society.

Luis Suarez came to our country to work; he came to work to our rules in our culture, not his own, if I went to his country I have to abide by their laws. So what makes him think he can make racist remarks to another human in the UK, what gives Gus Poyet the right to come onto a national radio station and tell us we should learn his culture because it is accepted there. I will tell you what, it is football arrogance.

Suarez has a right to a fair trial, and those who wanted him lynched because it was United v Liverpool before any evidence was heard, were out of order, just as the people who said it is false because it is Patrice Evra, Suarez also had the right to appeal if he felt hard done by, this is the UK law that he has to abide by, but since the initial conviction there has been nothing but embarrassment for Suarez, Dalglish and Liverpool as a football club, a football club that has had a lot of public sympathy in the past, a football club that was asking the public to quite rightly sign a commons motion for justice recently over a very sad case, so what makes them now think they are the courts, and they give out the justice?

Once the original decision was passed down, Liverpool took the mickey out of the FA by wearing the ill-advised t-shirts, we also were subjected to a disagreement with the decision, although still not a problem as the full facts weren’t known, or the appeal was still a possibility, but to do it in public was a slap in the face for the FA.

Now Liverpool have accepted the decision, that makes the decision by the FA the final say on the matter, so why have we had the oddest of statements from Suarez, a total ignorance of the situation from the club, and more bile from the mouth of the manager, what makes Liverpool the power to do this, what gives them the right to ask us for assistance in justice when they won’t accept authority decisions on what their own player has basically admitted.

Nobody is saying Suarez is a racist, more ignorant to our laws and ways, surely the sensible option for Liverpool would be to say, “yes we apologise, the player was poorly educated by us”, and Suarez to say “it is accepted in my country, I now realise it isn’t here where I work, I am sorry, and didn’t mean it to be offensive, we all live and learn”, but no!

This is not a witch hunt, this is not somebody picking on Liverpool, this is education, assistance for the Kick Racism out of football campaign, and it is about time that the club showed that they are a trend setter and do have respect for the British public, that they can show humanity and accept this was an error.

This is showing football up for the greedy, overpriced game it has sadly become, it is now so distanced from the genuine fan that goes to matches week in, week out, it is a sad situation, and made worse when clubs, players and managers insult the public intelligence.

We are in a mess Britain.

2012-01-04T06:58:00.000-08:00

As 2012 hits us, we are met with more headlines of doom and gloom, the pensions system is on the verge of collapse, the jobs market is at as low a point as we have known for a generation, and people are striking at regular intervals. Yes people Britain is in a mess and it is official.

So how do we put the great back into our proud nation, how do we get the economy pumping again, how do we get money back into people’s pockets and most importantly how do we create ourselves a pension?

We could sit and cry foul of course, we could wave placards in the street, or we could become business owners and create our own future, shape our own destiny, that is what I have done with www.theabcsolution.co.uk.

I am a business owner, I have a same day courier firm, www.bksameday.co.uk, and believe me, this industry has been hit hard, not only with the slowdown, but we have rising diesel costs to contend with, higher road taxes, most people moan when they have one car to run at the motoring fees, imagine if like us you have a fleet, so I decided that I wanted to create a residual income, one that builds and build and won’t be affected by over paid, wasteful bankers, or can be risked by enthusiastic but unrealistic investment know it all person sat in his warm office, acting like Gordon Geko.

Telecom Plus do not limit the opportunity to Directors, neither do you need to be a sales person, there is no large investment, just a small fee affordable for most, if not everyone, but for this small fee you gain a business in a box, as well as a training system that improves you as a person which is worth thousands of pounds in the open market.

This is not a get rich quick scheme, but you can earn the amounts you require by being consistent, if you have five hours a week to put into the business, it will grow, slowly, but give it two to three years and you will start seeing the benefits, realistic earnings and bonus schemes can make a difference from year one, and can allow you to take retirement from the hurly burly world within five years if worked right, you can take the business on full time and create your destiny quicker, but most people need the back up of a steady income until this builds into that.

You and only you can turn your life around, politicians will be sat with their payments, knowing that you voted them in and you are paying their wages with taxes, no matter what the pension fund says, fat cat bankers will still receive the high salaries we all see, then when you ask them for help, there computer will probably say no, but when the government charges them more taxes on profits, yes profits not losses, they will cry wolf and run overseas, but poor old you will still be working 40-60 hour weeks and you will be old enough to remember IPod’s and Xboxes, you will remember telling your children all about the glory days of the late 90’s and early naughty’s, and realising that the older generation of this period could retire at 65, whilst you are hard at it at 75.

Take this out of the equation and speak with your future’s specialist, I am not asking for thousands of pounds, or to risk anything you have built, this business requires no staff, no stock to be held, and no collection of payments, all it needs is you and an hour or two a day, this is not a question of do I need this, it is a question of can I afford to miss out? If you want to work until you are preparing for the pearly gates, then yes, you can afford to miss out, but if you want to enjoy later life, and even earlier than that, then visit www.theabcsolution.co.uk today or call 07738 715038.

Another Van into the fleet, here we go for year 2.

2012-01-03T04:32:00.001-08:00

BK Sameday has just begun its second year of trading, and is celebrating by adding an additional Transit van to the fleet. Tucked into their distribution centre in Trench Lock, Ben Coates has decided it is time to start filling the warehouse and becoming a distribution centre for local businesses.

With the more vans they bring on board, the easier it is to offer a reduced price to customers who can wait a day or two and add the items to the appropriate van, Ben said “it has been difficult with the small van’s, we have had to be purely a same day company only, get the goods and take it to the destination, therefore charging our per mileage price, this will still be our main service, however with the new vans coming into the fleet, we expect to cover the UK most days, thus enable a collection in the North, and promise a delivery down South within a couple of days, but at a cut price, because we can get more than one job on the van.”

BK Sameday know the importance of the local economy, indeed being a courier business, there are many factors that affect margins, none more so than the rising cost of Diesel, the weather slowing traffic down, and cash flow dictating the amount of vans are on the road, but Ben said “We are building slowly, our first year accounts are near completion and they show a small profit, and that was with a big marketing splash just before the end of year, we appreciate market conditions are poor, but if we can improve year on year then we will be happy, we are not a major player, but we are ensuring our long term sustainability and not over-stretching ourselves.”

BK Sameday will have three full time workers from Mid-January, but is looking for self-employed van drivers looking for work, working off a trade exchange means that work can be supplied to several people in different areas of the country 90% of the time, Ben added “We have some fantastic tools in our industry, and if we can pass on some of this business to local drivers, we would be proud to assist, we can put on where people are returning from as well and ensure they are loaded for return journeys, which is where we can really make our margins higher.”

To take advantage of this or to discuss working alongside BK Sameday please call 0844 826 2614 or visit www.bksameday.co.uk.

Moose from Talk Sport is an embarrassment to West Ham and the radio station.

Mick Quinn, for a biased scouser is actually a funny guy and him and Saggers are a great start to the weekend.

Due to the do gooders how are new companies on a budget meant to promote themselves when idiots complain and report them for sending an e-mail, if there is an unsubscribe button, just click it, or try talking to the person, allow people to trade, you never know, it may be something you want!

When driving on a motorway, just because there is an overhead speed limit, do not slap on the anchors, it causes tail backs, thick drivers, drive to what is in front of not, not ahead.

Darren Bent is not feared on the international stage and is not international class.

Peace on earth will never happen, forget it, it is a shame but religion is the route of all evil.

A football team conceding a goal is not a tragedy, it is not a disaster, Christchurch earthquakes were both a tragedy and a disaster.

People need to concentrate on their lives and their homes, if a mate is struggling in their family or marriage relationship, just support them, don’t tell them what to do.

Mother-In-Laws will always back their son/daughter, which is their job; the Father-In-Law will back off as much as possible.

There is always somebody worse off than you, that is life.

Somebody will always be jealous of you and what you have; if this upsets you don’t flaunt what you have.

Some of this will touch you, some will make you laugh; take it as it is meant.

Exciting changes to our Compensation Plan

2012-01-01T06:53:00.000-08:00

Now is your time to get involved!

We have taken a different course for tonight’s blog, and we feel it is important we do, because, the company has taken steps to improve the chances of success, all in the short term, medium and long term, in the days of pensions being taken away from us, this is a chance to create a life time residual income, that will grow and grow. Please see the words below that briefly outline how we are achieving our success, but our success is built on your success.

As many of you are aware, Telecom Plus, who owns the Utility Warehouse brand, is currently seeing record levels of customer growth and the business is going from strength to strength.

www.theabcsolution.co.uk is part of one of the most amazing business success stories this country has ever seen, and takes huge pride in the part you have played in creating it.

Are we pleased with the progress we are making? Of course! But we want to make you a success of the story, to see how please see this DVD, http://www.telecomplus.co.uk/biz/videodir/home.taf?exref=G62804.
But can we afford to rest on our laurels as the wider economy heads back into recession next year? Absolutely not!

That’s why the company has announced the biggest changes to the Compensation Plan that they have ever made.

These changes will help drive our growth even faster and:

make it easier for new IDs to get started and qualify their positions;
increase the amount you can earn from Team Building;
create a real financial incentive for Distributors to gain promotion and maintain their Status; and
deliver an immediate increase in residual income to most distributors.

Telecom Plus statement, So what’s new?

With effect from 15 January 2012:

1 All Distributors will become Qualifying Distributors once they have just 3 personal customers (instead of 6 under the current plan). Overnight, this means around 4,500 Distributors will be promoted or see an increase in their current Status!

2 We are making it easier for new Distributors to earn their 90-day Starter Bonus by reducing the target to just three Qualifying Customers.

3 We are making it simpler for new Distributors to understand the business and get started successfully by separating Customer Gathering from Team Building. Importantly, this means that they will only be able to recruit new distributors once they have become a QD and attended the new COE Team Building Training Course.

4 We are introducing a new enhanced Team Building Bonus (TBB) to encourage sponsors to help their new Distributors to get started quickly and effectively.

This new TBB means that in addition to the £50 you currently receive when a new ID you have sponsored receives their 90-Day Starter Bonus, you will now also earn matching CGB on the first 3 customers gathered by each of your new Distributors within their first 90 days. This provides a massive incentive for you to accompany them to their first few appointments and help them get qualified, and means you could receive over £100 extra TBB from each new Distributor you recruit!

In addition, we are making a number of changes to the way CVC is calculated, with significant improvements to Personal CVC, higher ‘Plus Club’ bonuses, as well as some major changes to downline CVC which will provide more predictable earnings and a greater incentive for all Leaders (GL and above) to continue climbing the Stairway to Success.

The combined effect of these changes will help us to achieve our long term goal of becoming one of the UK’s leading utility suppliers, providing ever greater value and savings to our customers, in what are becoming increasingly competitive markets.

By doing so, we will also drive faster customer growth and reduce churn, thus protecting and enhancing the income of all our partners for many decades to come.

Let’s build this business.

2012-01-01T06:48:00.000-08:00

So you now know how I started and who the company is behind the opportunity, I am sure this has gained you confidence, but now the scariest time of any new business is how to get started, what are the hints and tips to gain the customers and distributors you need for success.

Luckily the Utility Warehouse has a fantastic FREE training program, in a joyful atmosphere, people who have not only built there business, but have also built other people’s business, pass on their knowledge, not only the knowledge they have learnt but also the approved training programme that has been built on many of the successful experiences from the top distributors, they do not keep secrets.

The fantastic think about this business is it is all on a plate, your website name issued however is a bit long and a mouthful, e.g.: https://www.utilitywarehouse.co.uk/?exref=G62804 but for about £5 you can buy an appropriate domain name, I purchased www.theabcsolution.co.uk, it rolls off the tongue, it gets your creative juices flowing though.

Once you have finished your training, you could well have your first appointments set up, on training they assist you on this to build up your confidence, and you should have a large list to begin concentrating on, the thing to remember when you are calling people is you are asking them if you would like a coffee together so you can quickly run something passed them that is fantastic, it is not a sales appointment!

The law of averages state that 7 in 10 will say no, so the best attitude to people who say no is thank you, that means that the next nine people I speak to 3 will say yes, and at least as a friend I have spoken to you. Make them think they are missing out on something that is futuristic, because they are, and don’t write them off, they may come back to you at a later date.

One of the key to success is to plug into the system, embrace it and enjoy it, this business is not for everyone, again, it is not a problem, but if it is not for you, you may want to recommend a friend, it is all about giving everybody the choice. Telecom Plus do not invest in advertising, they rely on word of mouth, this enables the company to pass the savings onto customers, this is why they offer the price promise, they offer,

• The UK’s cheapest Home Phone
• The UK’s cheapest Home Phone and Broadband bundle
• The UK’s cheapest Mobile
• The UK’s cheapest standard Gas and Electricity

And with 96% of customers satisfied enough to recommend the services, they must be doing something right!

Save Money, Make Money

The ABC Solution, growing you, Part II

2012-01-01T06:45:00.000-08:00

So we now have the website set up, the business is live, but where do we start, luckily with Utility Warehouse, it is all explained to you in several free training sessions, I believe the fee is worth the money alone just for the training and personal development, with a complete online training schedule and superb interactive training class rooms, it really can be a dummies guide to your new business.

But who do you have behind you and who says they are any good? The Company is Telecom Plus, based in North London, and operates only from this main office, it was founded in 1996 as a telecommunications business. Its first product, launched in 1997, which was a least cost call routing ‘Smart Box’, a gadget that plugs into a phone socket and then routes the calls to alternative networks at a cheaper rate than British Telecom Since then, the company has added to its portfolio: a full landline telephony service, mobile telephony (piggybacked on the T-Mobile network), broadband, gas and electricity (the company is licensed by OFGEM), and a Cash Back card (a pre-paid Mastercard).

To date, the business has grown to over 375,000 domestic and small-business customers, around 30,000 of whom are also Distributors, signing up new customers under a Multi-level marketing scheme in return for a residual income.

In March 2009 the Company was awarded the prestigious title of “Company of the Year” at the Quoted Company Awards annual dinner.

In February 2011, Which? magazine named the Utility Warehouse as the UK’s ‘Best Energy Supplier’ for the third year in a row. It also names the company Recommended Provider for Home Phone. Which? named the Utility Warehouse ‘Recommended Provider’ for Broadband in September 2010, and awarded it a ‘Best Buy’ for Home Phone and Broadband in Dec 2008, Feb 2010 (renewed in August 2010).

Trading as The Utility Warehouse, Telecom Plus has no shops and does not advertise on television or in the national press. The entire operation (including call centres) is based in North London, with around 450-500 staff.

So as you can see, this is something special, and at the presentation evenings you learn more about the people behind the business, but if you can’t wait just google Charles Wigoder.

Thank you for reading part II, I will update again later this week, to get involved as a customer please visit www.theabcsolution.co.uk and as an interested distributor please visit http://www.telecomplus.co.uk/biz/videodir/home.taf?exref=G62804, also don’t forget businesses you aren’t left out, your page is http://www.telecomplus.co.uk/business/?exref=G62804.

The Utility Warehouse Pig

The ABC Solution – Utility Warehouse Telford

2012-01-01T06:09:00.000-08:00

I am a businessman from Telford, and I have seen Utility Warehouse presented many times at networking events, but I was always sceptical, I said the usual things, it is a pyramid, I can’t make money off this, it isn’t for me.

The turning point for me was a network meeting, there were two distributors there, and the first presentation put the 2^nd guy on the back foot and for me, meant I had to work with him; he made it feel we were all missing out.

Out of the blue, I called my sponsor to be, he was surprised to hear from me as we never discussed Utility Warehouse, I didn’t want him to come and sell it to me, I was sold, I wanted him to come and tell me how the money worked, I was hooked, as soon as you see the presentation you feel like you have to buy into it.
www.theabcsolution.co.uk was ready to begin; this was my future, my pension, my house to be, my way to a sensible living lifestyle. Of course there is a fee, as there are in many business opportunities, but this is £100 as an half price offer, all this really does is make sure you are committed, that this is for you, and you don’t have to be anyone special, you don’t have to be a sales person, and you don’t need an enormous amount of hours, all you need is consistency.

We make you or save you money

The initial payment however is not a fresh air fee, for this morning you get, a professional website, please view mine to see how fantastic they are, www.theabcsolution.co.uk, you get a full back end extranet system, that runs your business for you, all activity is recorded for ease of use, you also get a full marketing starter pack that includes flyers, newspapers of successes, sign up forms, thank you cards, etc. etc. a true flying start.
You also gain access to the complete free training on the successful system that many people have plugged into and are now paid six figure salaries, indeed we are paid 11 ways, how fantastic is that? Every fortnight there are also evenings where some truly fantastic professionals in the business will present the opportunity for you to visitors, it really is all there for you.

That is enough of a taster for now, I will blog again soon on my progress, but the fantastic thing about this business is my success is based on your success, what other business is trying to make everybody successful and assisting in increasing everybody’s pay packet?

Next blog will be about who is behind this opportunity, but to join on this success story of a FTSE 250 company please call me on 07738 715038 or e-mail ben@bktrading.co.uk.

Political Correctness in Football doesn't work

2011-10-03T14:51:00.000-07:00

So we have had yet another weekend of managers crying wolf over chants on the football terraces, we have pundits talking about what is correct and what is not, what is wrong with this country, is this the level we have dropped too because people don’t fight as often as they used too, hello but this isn’t new?

Being a Man United supporter and somebody who has been to hundreds of games in the past, I am used to being abused, being called a “Munich”, having aeroplane gestures directed towards me, but because people were fighting, or the gutter media had other things to report, and also because it was towards United, then it never got mentioned.

All of a sudden because some of the people who arse lick the media have mentioned it, or because it is not against United, or because talk sport has suddenly become a full on sports talk channel and need to fill the airways, and then it is a major issue. It isn’t when you go to football, you accept it, you pay your money to support your team, you sing songs to each other, you try to create an atmosphere, you cheer on your team and down the opposition, and you also let your main rivals know you are thinking of them.

This is what I have grown up and put up with for years, I packed in going in 2003 week in, week out; I now go to very few games, but the banter is still there, grown blokes who have had a few beers before the game, chanting to each other, when you go you know what to expect.

I am sick of pundits saying that so many people won’t go because of this, well I am afraid that the fans who put money into clubs, are the ones that go home and away, are there every game, home, away or abroad, if these fans are forgotten it will be at the clubs detriment. The football world is already one that TV has ruined, I mean just look at Monday night football this year, United v Spurs, QPR v Newcastle, Norwich v Sunderland, really fair to supporters who travel, yet the proper fans still do it, because they love their club, so if people now want to alienate them further, then so be it, but it will kill football.

I am not privy to the exact chants that people are on about, but surely we can’t start setting rules, I know a lad from United who loved making up songs, his name was Pete Boyle, an absolute legend and a very funny guy with some great lyrics, do people like this now have to sit with a book of accepted words, do they send off songs for approval? With the way player’s move these days, by the time the song about them gets approved, they won’t be at that club anymore.

Let’s get a grip on life here, instead of people who are paid by our national game, is there any chance of thoughts for the people who pump the most money into our game?

UK Road problems

2011-09-28T14:20:00.000-07:00

As a Sameday courier driver at www.bksameday.co.uk, I get sick of jams and problems on the roads, the reason I get frustrated is not because of the road works, but because of us the public and the kids who operate the overhead signs like they are on a PlayStation.

Firstly onto us, the public, we are thick, we drive at such speeds and so close to each other, that instead of keeping a flow through of traffic, we drive so close that we continuously slap the anchors on, have you also noticed how the fast lane is always the busiest lane, always the first to stop, I tend to drive across all three lanes, when I would suggest 80% of the time, I could simply use two, but you get the middle lane hoggers, those who look at you strangely when you bip at them and ask them to move across, our motorways are three lanes for a reason you plonker!

Also when the signs say stay in lane, why do you always see in front people who believe this means change lanes because one may be quicker, the quickest thing to do is stay in lane so the flow in constant, for god sake you thick drivers!

Then there are the overhead signs, this must be the easiest job in the world, programme them once a week to read things at certain times, no matter about road conditions, I travel up and down motorways a lot of the time, and sometimes it takes me longer because I am looking for the congestion that is highlighted, or the reason why on a 70MPH zone, I am doing 40, or why when in a congestion, they tell me there is a queue ahead, guess what, I am in the queue that you profess to be ahead.

Do you really pay people to run these signs? Are you really wasting my tax money on monkeys switching these signs off and on? I know as a driver, we are the pits of the country, but without us paying so much tax that the rip off government take from us, the country would be bust, oh no, hold on, it almost is!

I have a suggestion to the stubborn transport department and the industry who run the motorways, GO ABROAD AND LEARN HOW TO RUN THE ROADS PROPERLY, also when you do road repairs try doing the repairs properly, rather than the poor standards you do now and then have to go back a while later.

Our roads are a disgrace, but who is regulating these Muppets, nobody that is why they get away with making us drivers the laughing stock of Britain.

Carlos Tevez Affair, the part of Gordon Taylor

2011-09-28T14:01:00.001-07:00

There is no doubt that Carlos Tevez has disrespected English football as a whole, even as a Manchester United fan, I am pleased at City’s stance of suspended the spoilt brat, I just hope that he picked his dummy up in Munich, especially with today’s health and safety standards, although whilst he is acting like he is, I wouldn’t have blamed City for taking his airline ticket off him and telling him to find is own way home.

However the person that has taken the mick out of the public more than Tevez is Gordon Taylor, he clearly has a lack of understanding of us fans who pay for the game, and he seems to think the people in his union are something special, how dare he already be discussing compensation for Tevez, the little Argentinean brat deserves not one penny.

Does Gordon Taylor really think Tevez has a case, let’s put it like this, if I had told my boss I wanted to go elsewhere because of my family, and I had failed to get that move, but my boss welcomed me back, I would bend over backwards to earn my wages, I mean what more can they have done to help my life.

So for Greedy Tevez to then tell that boss that he doesn’t want to work for his money, is disgusting, and in employment law, amounts to gross misconduct and whatever court Gordon “Out of Touch with the public” Taylor wants to take the case, there is no defence, Tevez should be sacked, I would be.

Surely Gordon Taylor has bought the game into disrepute, isn’t it strange how the prat always comes out when there is problems with big stars or big clubs, yet at Plymouth, where I feel for every member of staff, he has been very quiet, as a courier driver, I spend a lot of time listening to talk sport, and the campaign they have had for Plymouth has been terrific, because they understand who pays their costs.

So Gordon Taylor, do not treat me, or any other football fan, as a mug, your involvement in our game is nothing short of lining your own pocket, you are a disgrace to your profession, and I hope that you get a FA charge, because believe it or not, you or Tevez are not above the law, as for the idiot from Buenos Aires, I hope City send you down the dole queue, or make you rot in the reserves, you dirty rat.

And as for Fergie, never doubt him, he knew Tevez was a “Bad Apple”

Sshh I was meant to be on the BBC

2011-09-04T08:51:00.000-07:00

Well it seems like a radio interview with the BBC was a big secret, yes the fact that author, Brian Rowlands, advertised the fact that he was being interviewed on BBC Radio Cornwall to promote his book, the Life of a Single Parent, Brian, meant that Auntie Beeb cut the proposed interview.

In what is a shocking turn of events, the day before the interview, Brian sent out a message stating that he would be on radio the following day promoting his book, a book that is an honest piece of writing about a single parent who raised his kids single handily, a book that is from the heart and to promote the fact that there are many great single fathers out there.

Brian said “I was so proud of the fact the my local radio station had chosen me to be interviewed on BBC Radio Cornwall, that I felt I had to tell people, if you read the book you can tell that everything in life has been a struggle, and to gain this little bit of success was a huge honour for me, I felt that telling people would help station figures too, but then bang, the BBC shot me from the schedule, why? What had I done that had been so wrong?”

“I am an author that only has had very limited success, my book is more about people learning from my experience, enjoying the fact that I bought up kids on my own, the fact that I had been to the bottom and came back, this is a natural story of a parents ability, I pay my licence fee, as does everybody, so why do they feel the need to be like this, I am disgusted at the attitude of them”

“What grinds at me is the hypocrisy of the corporation that is the BBC, the fact that they advertise their schedules and who is on it well before shows are on, yet some small time author in Cornwall tells a few people that he is being interviewed on his local radio station and they axe me as if I didn’t exist”

The irony is that Brian cut short a family holiday to return to Cornwall a couple of days early so he could be interviewed, I am sure that this type of treatment by the BBC will reflect well to his children, the future licence payers of this country, the licence payers who pay the wages at the Corporation, yet are treated with contempt.

Brian was aiming to promote his book, http://www.thelifeofasingleparentbrian.co.uk/, Brian is available for further comments through his PR company, BK Business Solutions Ltd, Ben Coates, 07738 715038, ben@bkbusinesssolutions.co.uk

Please note this is a press release that was approved by Brian Rowlands and is not the views of Ben Coates or of BK Business Solutions Ltd.

BK Sameday moves into new distribution centre

2011-08-29T09:54:00.000-07:00

BK Sameday moves into new distribution centre

BK Sameday have done it; hard work does pay off, several months of pounding the UK motorway’s, driving in the lovely countryside, town to town, building the reputation by doing the job with professionalism.

Now the fledgling Sameday Courier company has moved into a new distribution centre, based in Trench Lock, the new facilities have moved BK onto the next level, the move enables them to stock items for other businesses and to hold the deliveries overnight or until shipment is due.

It also enables them to offer cheaper delivery for people who are looking at shipping items but aren’t in a rush, with BK vans visiting most parts of the UK over the week, they ensure they will deliver at the cheaper rates when in that area.

Managing Director, Ben Coates said “I am building the business on honesty and hard work, I have understood the need for a new distribution unit, but finances have taken a while to build to such a level to sustain it, I have been under pressure at home from the wife as my garage has been packed, however of course I have been unable to hold certain items due to room and security, but because of this new premise will we hope attract new customers, who need reassurance that their goods can be bought in or shipped out with care and trust”

“We value every customer who comes on board, from the public to the biggest or corporates, we have done an array of jobs, from Morrison’s meat for its Christmas photo shoot, to a rather expensive coffee table for a boat down to Cornwall, and we protect their goods and ensure swift delivery, we also delivery samples to major supermarkets, including Sainsbury’s, and no matter how tempting, we never eat the sample food”

The move into the premise has taken place over the August Bank Holiday weekend, the new address is BK Sameday, Unit 20, Trench Lock 3, Telford, TF1 5ST, to contact BK Sameday please call Ben on 07738 715038, or e-mail ben@bkbusinesssolutions.co.uk.

Athletics you should be ashamed

2011-08-28T14:30:00.000-07:00

The IAAF is killing its own sport, today we, the paying public who contribute the money towards the sport, was robbed of seeing the show man that is Usain Bolt by what is a ridiculous rule, sprinters need a fast start, and at times that can be a mistake, but why take what people are paying to see out of the race, the sport really must re-evaluate this stupid one false start rule.

Surely we want to see the best, we want to pay to see history, how is kicking the man that everybody went to see, out of the greatest race that we all love, entertainment? Simple, it isn’t and the idiots who run the sport will cost itself money, it also is a worry for the forthcoming London Olympics, if you pay the prices for the main events, yet half of the top competitors are disqualified for a minor mistake, are you going to be happy and return to the sport? No!

Usain Bolt was clearly a false start, but even though I don’t think the bloke should be in the sport, Dwain Chambers was extremely unlucky, he never even left his blocks today when he was kicked out, but until sports ruling bodies understand that they are there to maintain the sport, rather than act like little Hitler’s who want to be centre of attention, then the financial rewards they could reap will never materialise.

The people in the stadium today must feel robbed, of course there has to be a limit, but was there really so much wrong with the old two start rule? Surely London’s organisers must lobby the plonkers at the IAAF and explain that the British public do not want to see half a field in the 100 metres final, or their own British stars watching the women’s 400m final because they made a slight mistake, we want and demand to see the best athletes in the best competitions, now take your pride, admit you had not foreseen it could affect things like it did today, and we, the public that put money in your pocket, will be happy, and maybe you will keep the major sponsors too.

STOP PRESS! – MUM GETS THE HOUSE, DAD GETS THE KIDS!

2011-08-17T14:11:00.000-07:00

So what’s a guy do on finding himself suddenly and unexpectedly divorced, heartbroken and with two young and very demanding children to raise alone? Well, first he hits the bottle ‘big time’ and falls into the mother of all depressions! Then, little by little, he picks himself up, dusts himself down and starts to put the broken pieces of family life back together. Battling against life’s many adversities and trying to make sense of the ensuing chaos, he strives to give his children as normal a life as is possible and above all else, stability.

Single Parent Brian Rowlands, at the age of 36, found himself in this unenviable position. Not only did he rise to the challenge though, he wrote a book about it!

Charting a remarkable ten year journey of joy, heartbreak, despair, discovery and re-adjustment, his book, ‘The Life Of (A Single Parent) Brian!’ documents the surreal events in this single parent family’s life, taking the reader along for themselves on his family’s amazing rollercoaster ride of joy and pain, relationship disasters, medical problems and constant moving home, (to mention just a few things!). Told in an open and honest manner, Brian lays it on the line, baring his soul to the world in a true story that will leave the reader

gasping for breath and wanting to know just what happens next!

“It made me laugh, it made me cry, once I’d started reading it I couldn’t put it down"

What they went through in ten years is simply amazing!”: Sheryl Miller-

Senior Nurse-Nottingham City Hospital.

Enjoying a March 2011 revised edition release and available in three formats, Hardback, Soft cover and downloadable eBook, I would be delighted to receive your enquiry for further information and, should you require, am available for immediate interview.

In conjunction with the release of his debut book ‘The Life Of (A Single Parent) Brian!’ author Brian Rowlands has put together a website that not only backs up his book but offers parents of all types and standing the opportunity to discuss parent related topics in his Discussion Forum. Say’s Brian, “I strongly believe that any parenting problem can be overcome that much easier if we are prepared to seek out help and advice. My Forum offers any parent, single or in a partnership, the chance to talk things through with others in a similar position. Obviously I’m ultimately hoping to generate interest in my book, but this is a ‘side project’ that really excites me and I can’t wait to get involved.”

Brian’s website is up and running and online now at www.thelifeofasingleparentbrian.co.uk

Premier League Weekend 1

2011-08-14T12:26:00.000-07:00

So we are back up and running, but nothing has really set the world alight, but it is early days, let’s start the round up with two six pointer relegation battles, yes even this early there were two important games.

Wolves won at Blackburn in a crucial game between two sides that face a relegation battle, of the two Wolves seem to be in the better position, they have unity at the club and the board seem to want to assist the manager, Blackburn, in my opinion, will be lucky to finish 19^th, so a crucial victory for Wolves.

Norwich and Wigan was the other game and this ended all square, these are two sides that I want to survive, they have given young managers the chance, and I hope this proves correct, Norwich has always been a side that I have admired, always played good football as is the tradition, Wigan are a club that has a great manager and an even better chairman, Martinez always acknowledges the game and shows his love for football by trying to do things the right way, and in conjunction with Dave Whelan, who is refreshingly honest and business savvy, I want them to survive, so a point shared was a reasonable start.

For the pretenders to the crown, there were no real signs of improvement, Chelsea were the same, robotic side, no new faces of note, and no creativity in the side, they are a big unit who try to overpower sides, but up against Stoke, they met their match, we also saw the horrible side of the game with Torres and Lampard throwing themselves to the ground in a way my five year old son does, then John Terry making the ref aware he should feel sorry for them.

Arsenal, I don’t think, we can consider as genuine title contenders, I believe they are in a battle for 4^th place with Liverpool, neither side impressed the weekend, Arsenal look short of freshness and new ideas, the headlines from St James Park will be about Joey Barton, who for the record did nothing wrong, he got stamped on and slapped and has now been hung, drawn and quartered from all angles, shocking, but back to Arsenal, with more exits before the end of the month, Wenger needs a trophy signing, his philosophies simply don’t work now, and even his own crowd must be coming to the end of understanding with him.

Liverpool clearly have a better squad this year, but do they have the squad to challenge the top four, it is clear that three clubs are far and away better than the rest in Man Utd, Man City and Chelsea, Dalglish is playing catch up from far back and he has bought good British players that will make them more competitive, but they lack the factor that makes them serious contenders, and this was clear to see in their opener at a much improved Sunderland, I fully expect Sunderland to be in the top 8 this season with the signings made by Bruce.

The champions of last season, showed why they will be champions again this season, the opening 30 minutes of the game at West Brom was the best football of the weekend by a long way, coupled with the second half demolition of Man City last week, they are exciting to watch, the second reason they will win the league was that even though they were below par second half, they still found a winner from the impressive Ashley Young, most people will be doubting the new keeper, but look at Reina when he first joined Liverpool, the great Dane when he first joined Utd, plus many other keepers that take time to settle, he will come good.

Fulham and Aston Villa should end up mid-table and this was giving further credence by a 0-0 draw against each other.

The surprise team of the year will be Bolton, and their thrashing of QPR was the ideal start, no matter what the problems are at QPR, it is impressive at the way Bolton hit the ground running, as for QPR, I expect they will be in the bottom three alongside Blackburn.

So without a home win all weekend in the Premiership, it is now down to Man City to rectify that against Swansea, a tough start for the swans against one of the top three sides this season. We will see.

Telford pull yourself together

2011-08-12T01:29:00.000-07:00

As a business owner in Telford, I am as worried about our town being vandalised as anyone, and let’s face it, the whole country is on tender hooks, but as a town we need to pull ourselves together.

The English Defence League have a right to protest, that is what living in Britain entitles you too, the same as Unite Against Fascism have a right to counter protest, but what have they done to us so far? Both groups are known for trouble, and businesses, quite rightly, are protecting their properties, but we have not yet had any problems, and keep going on about it and saying how much we are in fear, is wrong.

We need to welcome these two groups and allow them to express their opinions, maybe if we allow them to do this in a reasonable manner we won’t get any trouble, but all the doo gooders who are already predicting doom and gloom are not helping the situation.

As a town we somehow seem to want to be involved, I personally think the local football club and police have scored a massive own goal with the AFC Telford game, they have been tinkering for so long and now they cancel it, what was wrong with a bit of pre-planning and moving the game to the Friday night or the Sunday afternoon, surely that stance says, you can have your protest but you aren’t doing it around a football game? However our weekend won’t be spoilt.

The police have had a tough week, and I am sure locally it hasn’t been helped by calls from the public when anybody with a hoodie walks past a house being reported, we have to get some perspective, we have to support the police in these times of disorder. To close the local town centre last night, I believe, was a PR exercise, an exercise for two reasons, one was to say look at us and feel sorry for us losing business, and also to say, the centre is easier to police in one place, so Asda have to stay within the building, because let’s face it, there was no creditable threat.

Personally tomorrow I am off to the Shrewsbury Flower Show, so will be well out of the way, that is not because I expect trouble, but because I simply want a quiet family day, if you are thinking of going “for a look” in Wellington, then don’t, because you more than likely will get dragged into whatever is going on, these are two political groups, let them get on with it, let the police do their job, and I am quite sure that if we treat them right, they will respect our town, make their point and go home.

If you do go looking for trouble, I hope that you get what punishment you deserve, after the week the police have had, I am sure they are well prepared tomorrow to ensure that Telford stays a safe down, if you have a business in Wellington that is affected, as a business owner I am thinking of you.

Help is needed from the local business community

2011-08-02T15:56:00.000-07:00

No beating around the bush, Ben Coates needs the business community help, in bringing Ruth Badger to Shropshire, he has taken on a massive financial commitment, and to help the local economy, but it must have input and sponsorship from Shropshire’s businesses.

In hearing people moan that not a lot goes on in Shropshire, Ben decided to do something about it, now he needs help from those who were begging for events to kick start local business, he has not got anybody on the cheap to come and talk, and neither has he skimped and saved on the venue.

Sponsorship and assistance has so far very generously come in from Lanyon Bowdler solicitors, WN Security Shredding and Fasc Ltd t/as I Think IT, but it needs more, businesses also can help keep ticket prices low.

Ben Coates said “When you talk to people they seem unsure how to bring the business spotlight onto Shropshire, however I am determined to get the economy moving, in my courier firm, 80% of the business comes from outside the county, yet many people promote that local business is best, what I am trying to achieve is getting 200 – 300 people in the same room and to listen to somebody with Ruth’s experience, this lady has worked with the great Lord Sugar, we can all be arrogant and think we know it all but we all can learn something new every day.

Also the fact that many other businesses will be socialising, surely means that being there is a must, I am laying on a buffet and also refreshments will be available, but sponsorship is a must for this evening of entertainment. It is not time for businesses to put their money in to bring out valuable sales and new customers. This is not something that will benefit Ben Coates or BK Business, but will benefit Shropshire and its business community; also people will be able to make new contacts away from their cocoon they seem to trade in.”
