Lots of excitement in the last couple of weeks - BOSS IW has won the IW Chamber of Commerce prize draw from its recent Expo day, and the prize is a full page feature ad in the Island Business magazine. For a small business, advertising costs can be prohibitive and often networking and word of mouth will produce more results, but when it's a prize what could be better! So now I'm really looking forward to seeing us in print.

The focus of the article for the business magazine is on outsourcing admin - I'm hoping that it will highlight that by outsourcing admin to someone who has the skills, businesses can spend more time focussing on their core activities and therefore it becomes cost-effective for them.

The glorious Ventnor sunshine continues into November of course, And, it's Bonfire Night too - always fab fireworks from The Spyglass Inn.
