IT support London provides a range of solutions

Information Technology
The computer support London companies can give to businesses are a consideration for any company that relies on computers. And let’s face it: that means almost every single one of them! When it comes to it support London is not such a terrible place to be based, since there are so many companies offering support services, and this means that there is competition. As a result, where there is competition, there are competitive prices. As a result it is worth taking time to look into the companies in your area to make sure that they offer all of the services that you are likely to want. This will depend heavily on the nature of your business. For instance, how many computers does your company have? What type of computers are…

Cash Genie can give you some wiggle room next year

Personal Finance
Cash Genie is a payday loans company intended to give people a bit of room in their budget – typically just for a month, so that they have time to sort things out before their next pay cheque arrives. Often it’s the case that our wallets get a little stretched (and none more so than at this time of year), and – even though we know there’s enough money in the long run – the cash-flow situation over the next month is looking a little dicey. Christmas is a time when a lot of people go into debt, and for some that can mean some fairly concerning letters through the post box in the new year. It’s too easy to lose track, and even if you know you’ll be okay…

London schoolwear supplier saved me from a huge embarrassment!

Clothing, Education, Schools
When it comes to that time of year – the summer holidays drawing to an end, kids getting restless, even if they never want to admit it, they’re getting bored with having nothing to do all day – getting ready to send them back to school fully equipped can be a mission. Personally, I always tend to make the same mistake. Well, until recently I did, anyway. I always used to think of anything and everything that they could possibly need in terms of stationary, or gimmicks, or other fun paraphernalia. In that respect my two kids would be among the best prepared in the entire school! I’m talking about foolish things, like special files with secret compartments, or a compass with flashing LED lights, or an eraser in the…

Looking for social worker jobs? Then look no further

Community, Employment
Anyone who is looking for social work jobs has some cause for celebration.  As of September this year, graduates are getting paid to do on-the-job training as children’s social workers.  The government program, ‘Step up to social work’ allows graduates to work while undertaking a masters degree in social work.  This scheme is perfect for graduates who are interested in social services jobs but are unable to meet the costs involved in training, or do not have enough money to take a year out of working to gain the necessary qualifications.  Its introduction really illustrates how highly the government prioritises this sector, which is great news for anyone interested in social worker jobs.

Powerpoint design – a crucial skill in the modern business world

Business, Communication
Powerpoint presentations can make or break a sales pitch, and for this reason, many companies devote a decent amount of time to the way their Powerpoint presentations are made.  The Microsoft presentation program has become so important to sales presentations that an entire industry has grown up around powerpoint design.  Although Powerpoint is not used exclusively by business people, it was rebranded as Microsoft Office PowerPoint to highlight its role within the office suite.  The program has come a long way since its beginnings in the 1980s, as this article details. The first version of what we now know as Powerpoint was created by Dennis Austin and Thomas Rudkin of the company Forethought, Inc. The initial product was called ‘Presenter’, but was renamed to ‘PowerPoint’ in 1987 because of trademark…
