By David Vine, UK SMB MD, Concur In July it was announced that The Department of Business, Innovation and Skills is set to formalise its support for SMEs and appoint a Small Business Commissioner.

By Declan Roberts (@DeclanMR) Savageness isn’t a word you’d want affiliated with yourself, but Yannis and co. embrace that very nature on fourth album What Went Down. It isn’t until you hear all ten songs that you understand their desire to be so brutal. As they honed hard-hitting rock on Holy Fire, Foals have never looked back from the wilderness.

Well, based on having a wax every 8 weeks (the maximum recommended time to go between waxes for best results, according to experts) and the average cost of a leg wax, you could be spending that without even knowing it. The average woman who commits to waxing...

By Laura Casewell  It's no secret that a pearly white smile is something that many of us aim for, but our modern diet (who doesn’t like a glass of red wine) can often hinder our quest for "perfect" white teeth. But what makes white teeth so special? And is it really the secret to a more attractive appearance? We sat down with Dr. van Vurren at IGDP in London to talk all about our obsession with a whiter smile, how it...

By Priya Kapoor, 1&1 Internet Ltd - The case for .London There are 839,000 SMEs in London (employing 0-249 employees) according to figures from the 2013 “Business Population Estimates” published by the Department for Business Innovation and Skills.
