I'd take anything from Plimsoll with a large pinch of salt - they regularly send me a tempter to buy their report including details of my own company, but they've never managed to get us into the right category in our industry - not too impressive - success is still 1/10 inspiration and 9/10s perspiration - I don't think much has changed in running small businesses (apart from the amount of governent intervention and form filling, but don't get me started on that) just always remember the golden rule "Turnover is vanity, profit is sanity"

Well sounds to me like the president has actually made a decision and now we know that those with their heads firmly buried in the sand can still hear.

What ! move forward, get progressive,help our members wait a minute best write to the BJP!..

At least it appears he is trying to look after his members not his position.

Of all the professional institutions the BIPP at least represents all those in this business and does'nt just concentrate on get rich quick schemes for those that shoot brides and babies.

The most important part of our industries future is largely ignored by everyone else...... the students.
