Landfill tax – subsidising the waste industry? I'm not anti-landfill tax. In fact, I think the tax plays a crucial role in changing behaviours. Without the tax and the prospect of many more rises to come, I'm sure that the waste processing industry would have struggled to embrace alternatives to landfill quite so quickly as it has. My issue is with how the tax is routinely used by commercial waste processing facilities to justify...more

The New Rules of Marketing for Small Businesses In times of economic recession and uncertainty the budget for most small businesses in terms of marketing has been seriously retracting. But one area of marketing that has been on a serious uptick has been in the realm of social media.Although most companies have heard of it and even more use it in some way, social media is an animal that is still not completely understood. What's more, many businesses are still reluctant to even use these new social networking platforms and deem them as "a waste of time." This is absolutely the wrong move. Twitter is for more than broadcasting your lunch choices and Facebook can be more than just a place for your employees to waste time during work.The first and most important way for small businesses to use social media effectively is to have a change of perspective. You need to try to understand how other companies are effectively using the medium.Smart businesses are using social media to brand themselves as experts in their industries.

Selftrade Stock Brokers: New Expensive Phone Dealing Charges Barclays stockbrokers have always charged more for telephone deals. I have managed pretty well by placing limit orders when quote and deal does not work, but Selftrade stock brokers make you send the order to a dealer which I have so far avoided. Barclays telephone rates are expensive compared to online (£50 for deals worth £1501-£2500 and £65 for deals £2501-£20000.) If I ever need to phone I always say upfront that I cannot deal online, and have not been hit with a telephone deal rate yet!So now the powers at Selftrade have decided all of a sudden to impose a £40 fee for trades conducted over the phone! I've just had a chat with Selftrade stockbrokers about their new arrangements and am narrating a trader's experience and their responses here in case of wider interest.Regarding the £40 phone dealing charge: Q: At present it can take several minutes listening to music on the phone whilst queuing for a dealer to become free. Will you be increasing the number of dealers or otherwise speeding this up for us paying £40 instead of £12.50?A: No plans to do so. Q: When market makers switch off on-line dealing...more
