It’s coming… Christmas that is. The weather has turned, the shops are filling up with Christmas chocolates and goodies, and colleagues are booking their Christmas holiday. For retailers, this quarter is the most important one of the year and thanks to the bumbling over Brexit, the situation isn’t looking too rosy. We’ve a look at the retail industry in our Islands this month, a definite case of if you want it to be available to you, then use it. Now more than ever local retailers need our support, so get out in your lunch hour and browse those shops rather than going online on your ipad.
Getting out and about is a theme we pick up in our Wellness in the workplace feature this month. Most of us have heard how important it is that we don’t lead completely sedentary lives and while standing desks are now becoming more commonplace in our offices, have you thought about walking meetings or just heading into the trees to clear your head?

Did you know that scientists have proven that those gut instincts you have in meetings, are real and not a figment of your imagination?
If you are heading towards the end of another year and thinking that it really is time you put that business idea you have into practice, then we’ve information and inspiration from our Islands for entrepreneurs.
Plus we’ve our usual mix of news and interviews from the various business sectors which make up our vibrant islands. Enjoy the read.
