I’ve always loved jewellery and there are some great
statement pieces on the high street. I was in Marks and
Spencer’s last weekend and they have a really good selection
for all ages. You can dress up a really plain outfit with a bit of
bling and the dowdy outfit in your wardrobe can look brand
new all over again. Remember less is more otherwise you
could end up looking like Mr T!

I was referred to LNH Management Solutions when
looking to setup a new business venture. I’ve been very
pleased with the time Lee initially spent with me advising
on the business structure and helping with all of the
necessary set-up and registration requirements. Since
this, Lee regularly keeps contact to ensure the business is
running smoothly and has always been available to offer
his support in a personal and approachable manner. I’ve
been highly impressed with his services and would have
no hesitation in recommending him to other small businesses.

“I regularly receive feedback that Katy and
her team have transformed
people’s kitchens and bathrooms. Bathroom

company have told me they do so as the
project management is excellent, her
quotes competitive and the finish is superb.
They know their customers are in
very safe hands and hence she is their preferred
supplier. I would not hesitate

Dear Chris and Caroline, Thank you again for the
outstanding service. As you know, I had a specific
idea in mind which had some unusual features.
I did not feel confident that the first company I
approached could achieve the design I wanted
after their repeated failure to provide a drawing
to my specifications. In contrast you provided the
drawing I needed quickly and efficiently which,
together with your professional and caring
approach, left me in no doubt about placing an
order with you. My mother and I are delighted
with the stone, and I know my father would have
liked it. It’s funny but it seems so appropriate for
him, with its height, slim width and stylish
features. I hope I can equal your high standards
in the small planting area in front of the stone
with my flowers.
You both do such an important job and you do it
extremely well.

10 companies, 1 day what happened?
the room. We chatted about our businesses, how we knew Brad and
what we wanted to get out of the next day.
It seemed I wasn’t alone in being nervous/excited/scared/confused/
having no idea as what the day would bring.
2015 15th January
A Mancunian who runs his business
wearing Tshirts & Jeans, called Brad
Burton (http://www.4networking.
biz/Members/Details/12966) who I
know, like & trust announced tickets
for his 1 day workshop named
“BradCamp” would be released
at 9am on January 16th. I really
wanted to go on this, why? Well he
had been trading over 9 years, I’d
not yet completed 1, he shares his
knowledge freely and helps masses
of businesses in just a 10minute
phone call. He’s written 3 books (just google him) all of which I’ve read
and all of them helped me. I wanted to pick his brains.
PROBLEM – I was on a course 2 hours away from 9am until 4pm
so I thought I’d miss out on tickets. I sent him a message and upon
receiving it he opened the tickets up early, just so I could get one.
What a star.
THE DAY – 2015 12th March
WOW POWERFUL STUFF. The day started as
you expect any workshop to start with Tea/
Coffee and chatting but then it all changed.
We got given these books and, like when you
were back at school, told not to open them
until told to. Then Brad told us to open at
any page. The reaction around the room was
stunned amazement, laughter and shock.
Ladies and Gents, this book is so powerful
it changed the lives and thinking of all 10
people on the course that day.
What Bradcamp did for me, personally, is it
made me realise that first & foremost I am
important, what is most important is health,
happiness and to me family. It empowered me to realise that negative

to meet for evening meal so we would at least know some others in

support is always going to come, but I can turn down the volume
on it, so it’s still there but if I hear it, which I am not doing as much
now, then I know it is because they are jealous or insecure or want
me to fail, it isn’t a reflection on me. On a business level as I write
this a week on from Bradcamp I have come away with new found
fire, motivation, belief in myself and therefore my firm and with the
everlasting support and friendship of all 10 businesses that were in
the room.
them. We support each other through
them. We ask each other questions,
we share when we have reached a
milestone we set down, in other words
I have another 10 businesses (including
Brad) who are as invested helping my
grow and achieve my goals as I am.
What more could you ask for out of
having 10 companies in a room for 1
day? Thank you to all the businesses I
met that day, waiting with baited breath
for our allotment reunion.

I would recommend that ANYONE and I mean ANYONE whether in
business, pondering their future, or just wanting to learn more about
themselves get yourselves booked on a BradCamp today. They truly
are inspirational, motivating, realise your true value, stop you wasting
time and certainly you will as I and the other 9 attendees did will come
away with so much information and plans to change for the better.
Unlike other workshops though, this support doesn’t stop. NO IT
continues, the business I met there we talk on a daily basis if not more
frequently, we still have bad days, non-productive days, but we share

Credit Control Tips
So you’ve raised an invoice, What’s next?
16 17
With almost 20years in the credit control industry Rachael worked
her way up from making 50 calls a day to training large credit control
departments to become more proactive to collecting debt and
changing their mindset on the calls.
All companies know that to get paid you need to raise an invoice. So
you’ve done that, but how do you get it paid? Below are 4 easy steps
for you to follow
1. Send the invoice out.
This may sound obvious, but there are many companies who delay
raising invoices and then once they have raised them delay sending
them out. If you delay raising or sending out your invoices, you give
your customer a reason to delay payment. They think “They couldn’t
be bothered invoicing me on time, why should I pay them on time?”
In 2013 she took the decision to start her own consultancy firm,
helping other businesses to collect cash quicker whilst making credit
control about customer relationships and brand awareness.
Now in her second year of trading she not only does consultancy role
but also runs workshops to help small businesses achieve the same
results. For more information visit her website www.rachaelchiverton.
co.uk, or email rachael@rachaelchiverton.co.uk or call 07756772950
2. Follow up once sent.
Again this is really important, if you have sent an invoice out, but
don’t follow up on it, how do you know they have received it? A quick
5 minute phone call a couple of days after you have sent it about
the product or service they bought during which you ask if they have
received your invoice number XX yet and this question is resolved.
3. Are there any problems with the invoice?
You know they have received the invoice, but you don’t know if
they agree it, or have any questions relating to it. Make it easy for
them, call them for a chat, talk about the weekend, their family their
interests and during the conversation ask them if there are any
problems with invoice number XX. If there are, deal with them, if
there isn’t say brilliant so how are you paying on date XX/XX/XX?
4. Check you bank
On day XX/XX/XX check your bank after 3pm and see if you have
received the payment. If it hasn’t arrived, give your customer a quick
courtesy call to see if it is his bank or yours with the problem.

3 Things you didn’t know you didn’t know
about social media.
1. Twitter Lists.
Twitter lists are highly underused but they are a fabulous & extremely
effective tool. Using Twitter lists you can segregate your followers into
groups to ensure your time spent on Twitter is maximised to its full
potential. Rather than trawling through the home feed, instead you
can go to your “Industry News” or “Potential Clients” list to engage,
retweet & tweet with purpose!
2. Facebook call-to-action button.
Have you seen the call-to-action button on your Facebook page? Use
it! This makes it incredibly easy for your audience to shop now, sign
up to your newsletter or contact you! You can also follow the success
of this button by exploring your insights.
Introtweet is a Social Media management & training business
based in Somerset. Her notable clients include 4Networking, PWG
Chocolates & the Great Gift Company.
To learn more about Introtweet & for more hints & tips please visit
www.introtweet.com.
3.You can promote yourself.
In my opinion, the 80:20 rule (80% of the time you promote others,
20% of the time you promote yourself) is one to be ignored! There is
nothing worse than exploring a businesses Social Media accounts to
then struggle to see what they actually provide or sell.
You are allowed to promote your business on Social Media; instead of
using words such as “Buy” & “Shop” use a catchy statement, key fact
or rhetorical question to encourage your audience to buy or click your
website link!

Regular Mortgage Reviews Can Save You
Money
We’re constantly told how important it is to shop around for better
deals on our utility bills, but how often do we sit down and work
out whether we could save money on a mortgage? Considering how
frequently buyers – new ones especially – run themselves ragged
with the question ‘How much can I afford to borrow?’ the answer is
often ‘not enough!’
New mortgage deals are coming onto the market all the time, and
while institutions are getting choosier about who they’ll lend to,
interest rates are becoming increasingly competitive, so whether
you’re locked into a fixed rate deal or not, there could be significant
financial savings on offer.
For example, on a £150,000 mortgage, where a 1% saving can be
achieved, your monthly mortgage payment could be reduced by as
much as £125.
Product Fees
Most lenders charge an upfront, one-off product fee when you apply
for a mortgage.
Legal Fees
If you move to a new lender you’ll incur legal costs as you’ll have to
appoint a solicitor to handle things such as valuation surveys and
fund transfers.
Valuation Fees
If you switch, you’ll probably have to pay for a valuation of your
property to be carried out before your potential new provider will
approve your application.
You should review your mortgage when interest rates change, your
current deal is coming to an end and at least once a year to see how
your current deal compares to new ones on the market – ones which
could potentially save you thousands.
www.mycontinuum.co.uk
nathan@mycontinuum.co.uk
By Nathan Stacey DipFA CeMAP CeFA
Of course, you’re likely to incur a number of charges if you decide to
switch your mortgage, so it’s not quite as straightforward as simply
picking a new one with lower rates. That said, some of the deals
available offer such good value that you could pay any penalties and
still save money on your mortgage.
Nonetheless, take into account the following fees:
Early Repayment Charge
Your lender may apply a penalty for paying your mortgage off early,
usually a percentage of your outstanding balance or a fixed fee.

Bath are having a fairly decent season in 4th place in the Aviva League, with second
place well within their grasp. Bath won their last game 12 - 3 against Sale Sharks,
which ended a run of three successive defeats for Bath. A tight game short on expansive
rugby was settled by the boot, with Bath’s Tom Homer kicking four penalties
to Danny Cipriani’s one for the Sharks. Mike Ford’s side have jumped above
Saracens, Exeter Chiefs and Wasps in the standings but all three could overhaul
them with weekend victories. Bath head coach Mike Ford: “I thought we might have
played too much in the first half. Their defence was very good, and they slowed the
ball down really well.
“But our game management was better in the second half, and I felt comfortable
once we were nine points in front because our defence was that good. “We will
have a couple of good weeks off now, and then we should have a full squad back.
“We were in the top four last season until the last day and then we got knocked out.
There is no way we are going to relax this season. We will keep knocking games off
one by one and see where we are at the end of the season.”
Stuart Hooper: Bath captain signs new deal for next season Bath captain Stuart
Hooper has signed a new contract with the Premiership club for next season.
The 33-year-old lock has made 174 appearances for the club since signing
from Leeds Carnegie in 2008. “Stuart represents everything that is good about Bath
Rugby,” head coach Mike Ford told the club website. “He is the best captain I’ve ever
worked with. “You could not ask for a better leader on the field and I am looking
forward to working with him again next season.”
The former Saracens player has been Bath’s club captain since 2011.
