So for healthy skin avoid parabens and stick to safe skincare products like Max Skincare.

The CG-Lock saves lives

It’s been proven yet again that the CG-Lock car accessory can save your life.

The proof is David Willis-Hargreaves from Banbury. He was driving his car on a dark November night when he hit standing water, smashed straight into the central reservation, bounced off , span several times, hit the inside reservation, then a tree. Unsurprisingly the car was a write off, however quite incredibly David was totally unhurt, and it’s thanks to the CG-Lock.

The Porsche accredited engineer who inspected the £80,000 car following the accident reported that it was the £50 CG-Lock which kept David safe! It held him exactly where he should have been so the rest of the car’s safety features could work fully.

 

David first heard about the benefits of the CG-Lock on the internet car forum ‘Pistonheads’, several years ago. He explains, “Since fitting the device I’ve had no back pain, as it’s improved my posture whilst driving. In my opinion a device which saved my life is worth well over £50! I already converted many people, including my osteopath who now recommends it to his other patients!” David is just of many crash survivors who think the CG-Lock device was a major factor in escaping with their lives. 

If surviving a crash wasn’t enough proof of the benefits of the CG-Lock, how about the fact that’s it was used on the set of the latest James Bond film? During the dangerous driving scenes the stunt professionals used the CG-Lock to enhance car control and safety.

The CG-Lock is a small and simple device which you can clip onto your existing seatbelt in a few moments. For everyday driving on the roads keeping the slack out of the lap belt prevents you from slipping into the poor posture that usually causes lower back pain and fatigue. It works by gently holding your hips and lower spine in the right position. For performance use on track days, pulling the lap belt tighter with the CG-Lock fitted keeps you secure to ensure better control during the demanding manoeuvres leading to guaranteed faster lap times. It’s quick and simple to fit yourself, and can be easily transferred from one vehicle to another making it a car ‘essential’ at under £50 (with a full money back guarantee*).

To order your CG-Lock call 08701 245 625 or visit the website www.cg-lock.co.uk for more information.

Is the Credit Crunch linked to a rise in drink driving?

Due to an increase in drink driving cases, the 2 weeks before and after Christmas have always been the busiest time of year for motor offence specialists, Geoffrey Miller Solicitors. However, December 2008 and January 2009 has been the firms busiest two months on record.

Mindful of the credit crunch, Senior Partner, Jeanette Miller was expecting the figures to either remain static or to reduce slightly. However it seems the number of drivers caught for alcohol offences has either increased, or the number of people wishing to seek legal advice from experts has risen by a whopping 238 %. This is despite there being increased competition, as more firms claim expertise in this field year on year.

Jeanette speculates why there has been such a dramatic rise in the number of enquires, “It’s likely to be a surprising symptom of “the crunch.” The festive period is usually a time when many drivers are caught over the drink driving limit due to excessive drinking from the night before. I think it’s a combination of perhaps more drivers chancing their alcohol levels, rather than incurring the expense of a taxi or hotel. Also people could be drinking more due to the pressures caused by the global financial crisis.”

Government figures for arrests or prosecutions won’t be available for some time. Jeanette comments, “For all we know, there may have been no increase in the arrest figures. Instead “the crunch” may have had a different part to play with an increase in people prepared to pay for a solution to an arrest for drink driving, particularly when a conviction may equate to a job loss for many of our clients.”

Credit crunching The Big Apple!

The lucky staff at JS Miller and Geoffrey Miller solicitors in Manchester have defied the credit crunch having just returned from their annual Christmas party in NEW YORK!

Senior Partner of both firms is Jeanette Miller. She explains why she is prepared to go to such lengths and expense to give her teams such an amazing Christmas do. “I have a great team who I want to keep and reward for excellent work. I promised this trip at the beginning of the year, it has maintained morale and motivation in the office.”

Jeanette comments, “Working for one of the country’s busiest motoring law firms is often an extremely stressful job and we need to help relieve that stress and keep the team motivated. It is vitally important for us to retain our talent here in Manchester and we want to do this in an imaginative and fun way. We include everyone in these activities and there is no differentiation based on a person’s role at the firm.”

Amazing Christmas trips aren’t the only thing the JS Miller and Geoffrey Miller teams are treated to, earlier in the year  a ‘chill-out’ area was installed in their offices equipped with a TV and Playstation for everyone to use. Not only that a fully trained masseuse visits the office regularly to provide stress relieving massage.

We’re told that New York was such an amazing trip that, credit crunch permitting, the Xmas do for 2009 will be equally as extravagant. Next year the team has indicated they want some sunshine in place of the sight-seeing so it looks like Dubai is a favourite contender!

Ends

Team Mochester raise over £1200 by growing Moustaches!

A group of normally quite serious Manchester businessmen have been growing Mo’s as part of Movember, an annual moustache growing charity event held during November in support of the Prostate Cancer Charity.

The group, supported by BNI Bridgewater networking group called themselves Team Mochester. They joined thousands of men worldwide in growing comedy facial hair to raise cash. By Sunday night (30/11/08) after four weeks of serious Mo cultivation the team was sporting outrageous 70’s rock star moustaches.

Steve Morton Chapter Director of BNI Bridgewater, “I’m really pleased with the £1200 we’ve raised as it hasn’t been an easy task! Attending important meetings with this handle bar Mo has been quite embarrassing, plus I don’t think my staff could take me seriously. However it’s been a bit of fun while supporting an excellent cause.”

On Monday morning (1/12/08) the Team Mochester WAGS all breathed a sigh of relief as their husbands and partners returned to their former clean shaven selves. Rather unsurprisingly not one member has decided to keep his Mo!

Anyone interested in networking with the BNI Bridgewater group is welcome to visit one of their unhairy weekly meetings. They meet on a Thursday at 7am at the Campanile Hotel on Regent Road. 

Compulsory phone tapping

From March 2009 it will be obligatory for many companies in the financial services industry to record their phone calls.

This is to detect and deter any inappropriate behavior and market abuse, raise standards, but more importantly these recordings will provide evidential proof of conversations often required by insurance and financial professionals.

These changes in the FSA guidelines will mean hedge fund managers, stockbrokers, dealers, traders and insurance brokers will all have to record their calls. 

The Medical Protection Society is also recommending that health service professionals start recording their calls. Audio transcripts prove what medical advice was given, preventing costly disputes and litigation.

If your business is going to be affected by these changes you will need to ensure that your offices are equipped with the correct call recording solution by March 1^st 2009. Liberty Bell Voice and Data offer a variety of call recording devices. Managing Director Warren Bone comments, “We can provide a very cost effective single recording unit (on a per handset basis) to a more sophisticated multi line recording device which blanket records all incoming and outgoing traffic.”

Warren explains that call recording can be easy to integrate and the cost has dropped significantly in recent years,  “Historically it’s been out of reach for many smaller business’ both financially and in terms of the technology involved, but now a lot of people are pleasantly surprised at how affordable and easy it is to implement. Dependant on the size of the solution and the integration needed, it can take anything from a few working days, to up to six weeks for solutions that need to be built and modified away from site.” With March 1^st just over eleven weeks away it’s time to start planning.
