All four team members have completed their Friends Against Scams online training which has led to our being a ‘Friends Against Scams’ Organisation

The initiative actively encourages communities and organisations to join forces and be united with the wider community, to help spread awareness about how to recognise scams .

The training is accessible to everyone, takes a few minutes to complete at your desk and brings an awareness of what scams look like, and steps to avoid being a victim.

Once your training is completed you will be better informed to promote scam awareness to those who are easy targets in your friends and family circles.

If you or your organisation want to be involved in the fight against scams then become a ‘Friend’ today!

Happy New Year everyone! By all accounts it is set to be a busy and exciting year.

My month begins with the news that I have qualified for thebestof.co.uk ‘Local & Loved’ Awards. This is national competition with local awards through thebestofeastbourne to find the nation’s and, in my case, Eastbourne’s best loved business.

As a new business generating enough testimonials from my customers either for my direct social media work or for my training workshops to qualify is quite an achievement.

As things stand, I am the nations third most loved PR & Marketing Agency on thebestof.co.uk, and locally the town’s sixth most loved business.

This month sees new beginnings within my business. I am starting a contract to work with the National Trading Standards Board’s National Scams Team on an acclaimed initiative which prevents our most vulnerable adults becoming victims of mass marketing fraud.

This is very different from my previous role within Trading Standards, and I am delighted to be able to continue to engage in important work that has a real benefit for our most vulnerable consumers.

My Social Media Marketing workshops have been very well received, and this month I am holding my third workshop.

Additionally, I have been contracted by a local college to deliver Social Media Marketing training to local businesses.

On a personal note, for those of you following the story of my leg injury, I am delighted to report I can now walk and drive, so am able to visit customers all over the county which is absolutely brilliant.

Have a great January 2015!
