I am delighted to report that my third book "Posh Claret" has just been released. Unlike my first two efforts, which were business books, this one is aimed at retro football fans.

For the front and back cover of my latest book, I used the services of an excellent photographer, based in Grantham. Many thanks to @nicolaauckland for a superb service.

I am getting excited as my first book, “Positive Networking”, will be released tomorrow (15th). It is based upon my observations of business networking over the last 20 years. Learn how to network effectively but also learn how NOT to do it!

I am delighted to announce that “Positive Networking” will be released on Wednesday 15th March. The book provides tips and advice for business networkers but it also gives lots of ideas to networking group leaders.

I get concerned about the number of people saying "at last it's Friday" or something similar. Believe me, life is too short - so don't go wishing away your time. If your job is so dreary and unfulfilling, then do something different!

Exporters who supply under "DDP" terms are now realising what their full responsibilities are - completing overseas customs declarations, having to register and pay for overseas VAT and possibly appointing a fiscal representative.
In 2021 we will be adding to the deals we have struck covering 63 countries plus EU.
Negotiations already underway with 🇺🇸 🇦🇺 and 🇳🇿 as well as planned #CPTPP accession.
Let's make 2021 the year of trade and 🇬🇧 as a global digital and services hub. #HNY

Thanks to @DistrictHerbal for introducing me (via Twitter) to the music of @ulrichschnauss - just had a good session on Spotify. Shades of Kraftwerk and Tangerine Dream - but different!
