  Great to see Dragon’s Den make a return to TV tonight with series 6. Congratulations to Hamfatter and Dance4MePromotions who both secured investments. I have to say that the the decision to appear on a business reality show by indie band Hamfatter was a stroke of genius. Regardless of whether they got an investment or not, [...]

• Introducing WhiteCarWorld.com!

  Well, I’ve finally gone and done it. I’ve created WhiteCarWorld.com to satify my passion for white cars. Being honest, it’s just a bit of self indulgence and not really a project that I envisage will make money.

  Last year when the original Apple iPhone launched Carphone Warehouse thought they would fleece affiliates by reducing their commission by more than 50%. A classic example of a merchant treating affiliates with disrespect. I did a straw poll at the time to ask affiliates which merchant they would use to promote the iPhone. And out [...]
