As Stress Awareness Month 2023 looms, what can you do to de-stress?

Stress is a natural part of life, but when it becomes too much to handle, it can start to affect your mental and physical health.

April marks Stress Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness about stress, its causes and effects, and most importantly, how to manage it.

So, whether you’re looking for ways to relax after a long day of work or are just trying to find some peace of mind in the midst of a hectic…

After being presented with a multitude of different methods, the results from a survey of over 200 UK businesses indicate that, on average, a call centre employs 3.6 techniques to reduce card fraud and thus support Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) compliance.

Some of the most common card fraud reduction solutions, approaches and business processes are summarised below.

That said, it is important to take into account that many of the below methods do not, by…

As you might have gathered from poring over our website – or even if you have worked directly with us in the past – here at BrandWarriors, we know a thing or two about how important it is to hire skilled event staff.

But when your own brand is looking to hold a promotional event that is meant to show off your organisation and its products, services and values to best effect, is there the risk that you don’t properly understand all the skills your hired staff do – and don’t – have? And…

For many couples organising their Gibraltar weddings, there can often be a tendency to think of the most dramatic and visible things that could conceivably go wrong with their nuptials. You know the things we’re talking about… hitches with the wedding car at the last minute, the wedding dress not fitting, your makeup running in your wedding photos… that kind of thing.

But if there’s an aspect of your wedding planning where you might not be as alert to the risk of mistakes as you ought…

At the time of typing, less than a month remains until the closure of the online VAT portal of His Majesty’s Revenue & Customs (HMRC) on 1st November 2022; for non-exempted VAT-registered businesses who will no longer be able to use the existing VAT online account for the filing of their quarterly or monthly VAT returns.

All VAT-registered businesses will be impacted by this, other than in cases where HMRC has granted an exemption. In the event of businesses not having achieved…

The UK Government is finalising plans for a range of rules to regulate the cryptocurrency sector, the Financial Times newspaper has reported.

The measures are apparently set to include limits on foreign companies selling into the UK, provisions for dealing with collapsed businesses, and restrictions on the advertising of products.

According to the newspaper, ministers will shortly launch a consultation on the regulatory changes.

Making good on the Prime Minister’s earlier…

A high speed door is a type of industrial door that offers many benefits. They are the perfect solution for cold stores and freezers where airtight sealing is crucial. They ensure stable temperatures, minimum energy consumption, and prevent ice formation from moisture penetration.

Cost-saving benefits of high speed doors for cold stores

Highly efficient rapid roll doors are essential for cold stores and freezers. However, conventional cold store doors are unsuitable for frequent…

It might feel like it’s been a while now since we were all grappling with the COVID-19 pandemic. However, even in 2023, there might still be a sense of novelty to your organisation putting together an in-person event – especially if it will be your first major such event since that crisis.

There is, after all, quite a big difference between attending a conference as a business or organisation, and being the entity that organises or hosts such an event.

With that in mind, let’s…

With the month of June quickly approaching, businesses up and down the UK are already planning on how they can best show their recognition and support for Pride Month.

As a business that cares about its wider community and about celebrating people for who they are, this time of year represents a powerful opportunity to signal your support for, and commitment to, the LGBT community.

But how might you go about doing that? Below, we have set out some ideas for how your business…

In recent decades the scientific world has entered a new era of drug discovery, in which it became possible to discover and develop unique small molecules and proteins targeting various oncological diseases. This was made feasible thanks to advances in molecular and cell biology which speeded up the drug discovery process at the preclinical stage. Recent innovations in anticancer therapies, including small molecules, peptide drugs, monoclonal antibodies, immune checkpoint inhibitors,…

What is the Costa del Sol “about” as far as you’re concerned? Ask a lot of people, and the answer might seem obvious: sun, sea, sangria…

But this coastal region of southern Spain isn’t merely a place to set up your sun lounger and feel grains of sand between your toes as you while away the hours on the beach. That’s because it also throws up no shortage of more ‘unusual’ attractions, which you’ll regret not including in your itinerary if you overlook them.

And of course, our own…

So, it’s finally happening; we are rapidly approaching the time of year when you may be looking to make serious use of your home swimming pool. Indeed, by the time you read this, you might have taken a dip or several already.

One thing that pool owners should never overlook, however, is the importance of suitably sophisticated, well-designed, and durable swimming pool covers, such as our own solar covers.

Solar covers differ from other types of swimming pool cover such as winter…

Peninsula prides itself on its approach to international sanctions compliance and we are often at the forefront of these matters. It is a subject that we take seriously.

When Russia invaded Ukraine in March 2022, Peninsula took a very clear stance in support of Ukraine. We stated: “In light of the recent escalation of armed conflict by Russia in Ukraine, Peninsula is going beyond the currently imposed sanctions and is not doing any business with Russian vessels, ports, companies (owned…

It might seem an overly obvious point to make, that a high standard ofschool cleaning is utterly essential – but it is worth re-emphasising nonetheless.

Pupils certainly deserve nothing less than the cleanest and most pleasant environment in which to learn. Meanwhile, the teaching and other on-site staff will certainly have other things they will wish to be thinking about, other than the standard of basic hygiene at their school.

One category of staff at a school who should be…

In today’s deeply interconnected, seemingly permanently online world, there are so many different terms to discover and learn about, not to mention those dratted initialisms and acronyms that might have you constantly rushing to Google to look up what they are.

With all that in mind, if you have come across the term “Learning Management System”, or LMS, you might still be trying to grasp what it actually is. So, here at myAko, allow us to be your guest…

ABG blueroof restrictor chamber – unique design features

Along with the attenuation void formers, the stormwater restrictor chamber is one of the key components of a Blue Roof SuDS system design. The chambers are fitted above each rainwater outlet (or to the side when close to parapet walls), and are designed to restrict rainfall outflow during key design storm events. When it comes to choosing a Blue Roof system, not all designs are equal however, and ABG’s patented ABG blueroof design…

Amid ongoing turmoil in the markets at the time of typing, it is clear that the recently appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer, Kwasi Kwarteng’s ‘mini-Budget’ announcement – delivered on Friday 23rd September – has already proved notorious in many quarters.

Elements of the “Growth Plan” statement that were of particular relevance to UK businesses ranged from enhanced support measures to confirmation of new “investment zones”.

The overall response from key industry stakeholders…

Even amid some of the potential barriers or deterrents to international travel in recent years – ranging from the coronavirus to Brexit – the appeal of destination weddings, and certainly getting married in Gibraltar, has endured.

Indeed, whereas there was once a time when a destination wedding might have seemed a relatively indulgent way to tie the knot that wasn’t exactly convenient for invited guests, in today’s world, you might find that destination nuptials are actually easier and…

Talk to almost anyone who appreciates the aesthetics of desire, and they’ll tell you there’s just something “about” the colour red. It is, of course, a colour that stands out in more or less any context, even if you are simply walking past someone wearing a red shirt in the supermarket. However, it is also a hue that evokes a sense of passion, energy, and confidence – even danger.

Something else that the colour red has long been associated with is seduction – indeed, many people…

Of interest to many transport consultants and those that rely on their services and expertise, will be the recent release of a report by the Chartered Institution of Highways & Transportation (CIHT), setting out how the implementation of Green and Blue Infrastructure (GBI) can help tackle the climate emergency.

More specifically, the publication outlines the role that GBI can play in delivering green, resilient and accessible spaces, as well as healthier sustainable transport…
