Lancing printer beats the big boys to scoop coveted Business Award

Ocean Press Printers scored a major success last week by scooping the highly-coveted ‘People’s Choice’ award at the Adur & Worthing Business Awards 2013.

The Lancing-based printer squared up to and beat off competition from major companies like Barclays Bank, Southern Water and Brighton & Hove Albion FC to the award, by winning the most votes in its category.

“Having started Ocean Press from nothing 17 years ago, it really does mean so much that our customers and suppliers think we are worthy of the award enough to give up their valuable time to vote for us,” said Ocean Press Managing Director, Kim Hayes. “We genuinely care about our customers.”

Across the whole awards process a total of 72 companies competed in 18 different awards categories, ranging from Start Up Business to Best Large Business. In these categories, panels of judges decided upon the eventual winners. The ‘People’s Choice’ award, on the other hand, was solely based upon votes received from the general public and the business community, making it one of the most highly-prized accolades of the evening.

Ocean Press work with customers from small independent businesses to large multinational corporations, delivering a range of print products to clients all over the UK and mainland Europe.

The Landscaping contract for Lancing Business Park is due for renewal at the end of 2013.

Please see a request below from TS Intrepid Nautical Training Corps, if you can help please contact Paul Tyler by email paul.tyler@gb.abb.com

I am writing to you on behalf of TS Intrepid Nautical Training Corps, we are a youth organisation that has been based in Lancing for more than 50 Years. We have recently been successful in fund raising for a minibus to transport the cadets to activities and functions, unfortunately we have recently lost the parking location we had, and are looking for a new secure location to store the minibus, I was wondering
if you were able to assist me in finding a way to easily contact as many companies as possible on the industrial park to see if anyone is able to help us.
Please let me know if you are able to assist, or can suggest anyone else that may be able to.

Many Thanks for your time.
Yours Sincerely

Read the IEP Financial Newsletter for Summer 2013

Welcome to the latest IEP Financial newsletter...

It seems hard to believe that the year is already halfway over, yet the evidence is there in the number of financial planning milestones we’ve passed so far. If you feel you’ve fallen behind on the latest developments, don’t worry - it’s never too late to get up to speed. With that in mind, our summer newsletter covers both current and future issues you should be aware of.
 
No cheap childcare options
The cost of private childcare can be prohibitive, but many stay-at-home-parents fail to assign a value to the work they themselves do in raising their children. When it comes to protection cover, this can be a costly mistake in more ways than one.
 
Keep up with tax changes
Some of the most significant announcements in the Budget were easily missed – but there could be important consequences for many people affected the changes to inheritance tax, among other taxes.
 
Many layers to the single-tier pension
In less than three years, the single-tier pension system will be introduced. Creating a flat-rate pension, however, requires many layers of complex detail.
 
Still carnival time for the BRICS?
While emerging economies may seem vibrant and enticing when compared to the rather underwhelming displays by those that are more established, it pays to be careful before committing to an overseas investment.
 
No island escape for tax avoiders
HMRC and the Treasury have taken full advantage of an opportunity afforded to them by the United States’ moves against tax avoidance – and they’re looking to capitalise further.

We provide expert, friendly advice on all of the topics we cover in this edition and more. We would be happy to help you with your financial planning and security, so please don’t hesitate to contact us. We hope you enjoy the newsletter.
 
The FCA does not regulate some forms of tax planning.

Before we leave you to read through the newsletter, we'd like to just mention that we have recently launched our new website. When you get a spare moment, please visit it at www.iepfinancial.co.uk

Best wishes
