Channel Four are looking for companies who are feeling the affects of the economic troubles. Here’s their blurb:

It’s no secret that thousands of businesses have hit hard times recently. Many will be looking for a fresh perspective, new ideas or simply a cash injection to overcome challenges in these turbulent months.

Renowned businessman and trouble-shooter Sir Gerry Robinson specialises in helping businesses that are in difficulty. In a major new Channel 4 documentary series, we will be following Gerry as he tries to help some of Britain’s businesses by offering not only expert practical advice but also substantial investment to give them a new lease of life.

Gerry strongly believes that ‘a bit of extra credit, a bit of careful mentoring, just some decisive action at the right time could really save these businesses and they can go on to do amazing things’. Each programme will see him working intensively with firms that could benefit from both his expertise and his investment.

We are currently looking for privately-owned businesses with an annual turnover in the region of £500k to £20m, which are struggling and think Gerry’s guidance and financial support could help them turn a corner.

For more information, please contact Becky or Tessa on 020 8233 2952 or email becky@goggleboxentertainment.co.uk.  All enquiries will be treated in strictest confidence.

That’s tomorrow!

The Kingsway (Wallasey) Tunnel will be closed in both directions overnight from 7pm on Friday 16th January.

It will re-open at 6.30am on Saturday morning.

The Queensway (Birkenhead) Tunnel will remain open as usual.

The night time works involve removing a major overhead gantry sign which spans the Wallasey plaza end of the Kingsway Tunnel.

As a result of the closure, all class 1 and class 2 traffic (cars; light vans; vehicles with two or less axles; and vehicles seating nine or less people) will be diverted to the Queensway Tunnel.

Unfortunately, Heavy Goods Vehicles (class 3 and class 4 traffic) are not permitted to use the Queensway Tunnel and, therefore, will be diverted via the Runcorn Bridge.

And help us do something about it!

British Chambers of Commerce have launched a very short survey on current business conditions.

They will be using the results to accurately assess business experience during the economic downturn and to campaign for actions which will support businesses.
