The weekend is almost here and that means many of us can catch up on some much needed sleep – even if you work from home, your hectic schedule can see you miss out on some much-needed rest during the week.
How much sleep do we really need to be at our best though? And is there any link between a good night’s rest and a successful business?
Let’s grab a coffee and take a look…
Telecom 360 is now a licensed UK telecom provider – meaning its high quality, low-cost international conference calling service is now even better than ever.
Hundreds of UK businesses may have had confidential data compromised following a cyber attack at Sage, the tech giant that supplies accounting, payroll and payments software for businesses worldwide.
Is your business among the 280 thought to be affected?
BlackBerry has launched its first ever touchscreen-only Android handset in what could be a last-ditch attempt to keep a hand in the smartphone market.
Last year saw the launch of the Priv, the first of its handsets to work on the Android operating system, but it failed to make an impact on a market dominated by Apple and Samsung – the SIM-only handset price of £569 didn’t help either.
So will the Dtek50 succeed where both the Priv and the Z10 failed?
Arm Holdings – the biggest UK tech firm you may never have heard of – is getting sold to Softbank – the biggest Japanes tech firm you may never have heard of in a deal worth £24 billion.
So is this proof the UK tech industry is alive and well, or a cut price takeover following the sharp drop in the value of the pound?
The answer to that probably depends on which side of the fence you’re standing…
As many as 10 million Android smartphones have been hit by a malware attack that generates fake clicks for adverts , while also installing apps to spy on browsing habits.
The majority of the attacks have happened on Android handsets in China, and it’s believed scam is pulling in around £200,000 a month for its creators.
The National Crime Agency (NCA) has issued a stark warning to everyone who operates online – internet criminals are winning the “cyber arms race”.
So are any of us safe online anymore?
Top central bankers and finance ministers from the G7 issued a warning this week via conference call that Britain’s vote to quit the European Union (EU) could have ‘adverse implications’.
The pound dropped to a 31-year low after the UK voted to leave the EU, and sent equity markets into a tailspin.
Here’s more on that teleconference…
The dust is finally settling on the EU referendum result, but the future of the UK economy and the nation’s position in Europe is more uncertain than ever – in short, no one who advocated an EU exit has actually come up with a suitable exit strategy.
Not only that, the whole political party system has been thrown into disarray, with both major players undergoing leadership change and challenges.
None of which is good news for British business or anyone looking to invest in British business – so here are three things the boss of one of the world’s largest independent financial advisory organisations thinks investors need to consider in the immediate aftermath of the leave vote.

Thursday’s historic referendum vote went in favour of the ‘Leave’ campaign, and so now the UK faces the prospect of a future outside of the European Union (EU) – and it’s a future that’s looking increasingly uncertain by the day.
So will small businesses be better in or out of the EU?
