It is nice to see my work being used by people, I do get a buzz from that. I did a little bit of Googling just to see where I could find work of mine that had been acknowledged correctly as my work. I was surprised to find so many instances. It also helps with my visibility which over time should bring in more business.

I’ve been working on some new code that delivers product placements from service providers directly onto my site and here it is. The great thing about this is that the service offerings are changing all the time keeping it fresh and new.
My work with Fotolia continues to show promise with another 3 sales in July and all of these my most popular image to date. Just click the link to be taken to that image.

Thought I’d continue the publishing theme from my last post with a round up of where I am at the moment.
Firstly there is my new photo book called Images from my mind. It’s a collection of some of my art work in a photo book format. It gives a taste of what art I create and is really a fore runner to a complete set of themed art books I’m working on. Just click the Lulu icon to be taken to the book where you can preview its contents and of course buy a copy.
I’ve also created a new book along one of my favourite passtimes, that being maths. This book is a printing of Pi to 1,000,000 decimal places. I dare you to purchase and read it – it’s a very difficult book to read and take in as it consists entirely of numbers. It would make a crazy present so click the Lulu picture below and grab a copy now.
Finally I’ve taken some of my music creations and put them together on a CD for your listening pleasure. Instrumental guitar music is where I’m coming from with this release. Again the Lulu picture below will take you to the CD site. the release is called Disco noise with guitars. I hope you like it.
What a great evening was had by all at the West Midlands Young Enterprise Regional final Innovation Awards. six finalists each winners from their own region competed at the Great Hall, Birmingham University.
The contenders:
Team 5 from Colton Hills Community School in the Black Country with their FUN5 product designed to get kids active.
Felicitas from St Dominic’s School in Staffordshire with their jewellery iPhone ear pieces.
More bees from St Thomas Moore Catholic School & Technology College with their Bee box to attract bees back into our gardens.
Inspired from The Royal Grammer School Worcester with their aromatherapy fan.
Fairbags from Idsall school Shropshire withe their Fair Trade cotton bags,
Smart from St Martin’s Independent School for Girls with their jewellery and cards.
As you can see a very diverse range of product offerings and each team were very capable in answering my tricky business led questions as I toured the stands as part of my role as Board member for the Birmingham area board. they were all highly motivated, confident in themselves and confident in their business planning and delivery. It was a joy to spend a couple of hours with them all.
and after some excellent presentations by all teams the winner was announced.
The winner of the Best Company Award at the Young Enterprise West Midlands Innovation Awards 2010 last night was Felicitas from St Dominic’s School in Staffordshire
Well done to Felicitas, and all the other Young Enterprise teams.
Zazzle continues to deliver for me, this time I’ve sold some greetings cards with my slippers design.

My WEBSHOTS account has finally hit the 1,000,000 views, well 1,000,550 views actually. It’s been a long time coming and those last few views seemed to take for ever to get there. but I’m there at last.

So I guess it’s onto the next million – now how long is that going to take?
RSMTenon
RSM Tenon is regarded as one of the most progressive and entrepreneurial professional services firms in the UK today.
In a recent article in Accountancy Age by Kevin Reed we see how the recent integration of Bentley Jennison to the group is taking all of the companies focus for the near term future.
They’re three months into an 18 month process of bringing the two firms together and during the remaining time will focus their efforts on making sure the integration is a successful one.
They are predicting that the business recovery market will stay strong for a good two to three years so when you overlay the 18 month integration on this time line you can see why the high level of focus on making that integration successful is so important.
A good move I think, it should strengthen the group and therefore please investors. My advice – jump on board now, the price currently being traded is cheap so there are plenty of opportunities to see a serious return on your investment.
Financial review
It’s good to see a company promote itself and make statements for future development, especially during these lean times when so many businesses have gone to the wall or are struggling to survive. I recently invested in Evolution Group as you’ll know from a previous blog so it was good to find this press release from Evolution Group declaring their position for the future.
In summary:
- It aims to grow revenue and profit further in 2010, despite continuing market uncertainty.
- It has swung back to a full-year pretax profit on rising assets under management and a much better year for its investment banking arm.
- The company’s initial public offering pipeline was “fairly reasonable” and it “absolutely” expects to grow assets under management in 2010.
- It would continue to hire this year to support growth.
- It would also look at opportunities to bolster assets by bringing in new teams that could bring between GBP1 billion to GBP2 billion of assets with them.
So a positive outlook indeed – so jump on board now whilst the price is right.
