Clean and Cool part two

Looking back on a week of hectic activity with the Clean and Cool Mission at 3am in the morning hoping my body clock will recover soon, it occurs to me that one of the key elements of such a trip is the mix of individuals that are taking part. The fact that each one is hugely committed to making their particular business a success and is well down the road to achieving that aim has given the trip ...

Clean and Cool part one

It’s interesting, I’ve been travelling to the US for over 20 years on business and I’m still excited by the prospect of heading there again on the Clean and Cool Mission 2010 with 19 other CleanTech entrepreneurs from the UK. I’m like a kid on Christmas Eve, I keep waking up during the night wondering if Santa has arrived yet – sad isn’t it!

This trip is a little different however; it’s my first tr...

My favourite mobile apps

While I don’t consider myself to be a technology expert, I am often surprised by my discussions with other business managers who don’t know about, or don’t see the value in, using the internet on their mobiles or downloading mobile applications for corporate use.

Someone should pass the message on to whoever designed the HMRC site.

I digress. My point was about the Startups forum a...

Pearly kings

Startups was lucky enough to attend the launch of the brand new BlackBerry Pearl 8110 the other day, and it's hard to be sure whether it’s because we were press or because a waiter managed to unceremoniously dump a tray of strawberry bellinis over half the team, but either way, we are now the proud owners of shiny new BlackBerrys.
