Business Process Improvement (August 2009)

Business Process Improvement: your business will be better for it

Imagine your business as a vehicle.  It runs; it usually gets you to your destination; but sometimes things seem to take longer than they should (and longer than for your competitors) or cost more to accomplish than you think they ought to.  With a vehicle you book it in for a service and it comes back running more smoothly and consuming fewer resources to achieve your objectives.  Business Process Improvement can do this for your business.

Please go here to learn more about Business Process Improvement and how it can help you get ahead.

Important notice for users of Internet Explorer™ version 8 (June 2009)

We have identified an issue with Microsoft™’s Internet Explorer™ version 8.  This notice may help you resolve any display problems you encounter with our (and other) websites.

We design websites according to the global HTML 4.01 standard, so they should display the same on any web browser.  However we have noticed cases where Internet Explorer™ version 8 does not display the page as instructed in the HTML (for example, ignoring an instruction to centre an object and instead left-justifying it).

We have found that setting ‘compatibility mode’ fixes the problem.  Select Tools, then Compatibility View Settings and then either add our website to the list or perhaps select the box at the bottom - ‘display all websites in compatibility view’ - which may help with other sites.

If anyone can provide us with more information on this issue please contact us.

Starting young (April 2009)

Burgh House is delighted to announce its support for the St. Helena Development Agency (SHDA) Youth Start-up Programme.

Sir Richard Branson

Entrepreneur Sir Richard Branson was 16 when he started his first business.  If he'd believed he was too young maybe he wouldn't be where he is today: head of one of the planet's biggest business empires, worth an estimated 2.5 billion pounds and engaged in many projects supporting the environment and, of course, youth entrepreneurship.

We don't mind if you're 16 or 160, if you have a business idea talk to us.  Just imagine . . . where it could lead.
