Perk Cars Are Back

I'll post more information as it comes, however the tax system is now working favourably to once again offer cars that are not necessarily essential for business!

Imagine a young graduate taking a job on the greasy pole in to corporate world. They need a car to transport themselves to work and back. It may well be more cost effective to take a fuel efficient Company Vehicle and pay say £135/month tax. The same new car could be 3 times this cost on a personal basis! The cost to the business would have to be managed but with the total cost of a reasonable Contract Hire car around £3000/year the right sums can add up. A car is worth £5000 to most people, it's a win-win situation.

Therefore it makes sense to offer a car instead of a pay rise or to tie in the talent in the interview room!

First Game of the Season

With my lacrosse team Rochdale back in the top flight we had been expecting a tough season. After a full summer of training and hard work Saturday was the season opener against Double-Champions Stockport Lacrosse Club

After an upbeat warm-up we were quickly reminded of our new-boy status and given a sporting education from a line-up of English Lacrosse stars.

For people interested in the sport of lacrosse http://www.laxforums.co.uk/ is full of discussion, results and debate from this hugely growing sport. As the number of users approached 2700 there may even be reasonable opportunities to work alongside the site to advertise and promote your business.
