Budget 2017 What's In It For You On this edition of Business Connections Live Steve Hyland asks Louise Punter, CEO of Surrey Chambers of Commerce about the impact the budget will have on businesses based on the chancellor's specific announcements such as business rates, R&D, transport investment, VAT threshold, digital infrastructure, extra funding for Brexit preparations.
While more remains to be done to reduce the impact of business rates on investment and growth, the Chancellor's decisions will lessen the impact of rate rises on hard-pressed firms in many parts of the country from next April. Chambers campaigned hard for a reduction in the relentless rises of this iniquitous tax, and will be pleased that the Chancellor has listened and taken action.
Louise will also share other issues being faced by businesses such as export opportunities; new legislation to deal with GDPR; auto-enrolment and the apprenticeship Levy as we move towards 2018.

GDPR What is Marketing Consent On this edition of Business Connections Live Steve Hyland asks Linda Bazant, Barrister and GDPR Speaker & Trainer about GDOR What Is Marketing Consent. With the General Data Protection Regulation coming into force on 25th May 2018, businesses are struggling to get to grips with the level of consent required for their marketing strategy.
If you're planning a marketing campaign, you'll have to comply with a number of regulations. Some of these apply to unsolicited electronic messages sent by telephone, fax, email or text, while others apply to marketing material sent by post.
Linda will give guidance on how to navigate the new regulation for marketers and explain how GDPR will dovetail into the Privacy and Electronic Communication Regulation (PECR) which restricts the circumstances in which you can market people and other organisations by phone, text, email or other electronic means.
Linda is a Barrister with a Law and Politics degree and is a member of Gray's Inn and BACFI. She is also joint founder of Retail Therapy Television (RTtv) and Business Connections Live. Linda specialises in corporate and media law with special emphasis on GDPR compliance and corporate governance.

On this edition of Business Connections Live, Steve Hyland asks Martine Robins, owner of the HR Dept Woking about the importance of Helping SMEs To Engage With Human Resources HR.
In 2016, the FSB reported that there were 5.5 million SMEs in the UK, employing 15.7 million people which were 60% of all private sector employment in the UK. The annual turnover was more than £1.8 trillion! This included 1.3 million employing businesses. How many of those businesses access HR support? If not, then why not?
It can be a question of accessibility and knowing what support is out for SME businesses. Many business owners are constantly busy, with limited time and resources and may employ people because they have to but hopefully because they see that in doing so means their business will be able to grow.
Business owners may not engage with HR until they have a 'people problem' resulting in being out of their comfort zone, lack of knowledge and expertise in successfully dealing with it and the fear of litigation if they get it wrong.
However, working with an HR provider can help them with compliance and best practice approaches across their whole people strategy. Ensuring that the right people are recruited, fully compliant employment documentation exists, ensuring that processes are in place to bring clarity and structure to the business and peace of mind to the owner.

On this edition of Business Connections Live Steve Hyland asks Kate Cook International Speaker on Healthier Lifestyles how good nutrition and strategic eating benefits mental health.
As autumn approaches we all start to mourn the shorter days, and disappearing sun. We now have optimised our Vitamin D (the sunshine vitamin) so vital in mental health concerns. Of course, mental health issues don't just apply to men but we know that A staggering 12 men commit suicide in the UK a Week. Apparently 3/4 of people who are depressed are women but 3/4 of those who commit suicide are men. It is thought that men tend to act out their depression more that women – often men still feel the burden of responsibility of protecting the family is weighing on their shoulders alone, even if the partner is working and providing too. Men really do need to be keeping sane.
The foundation for finding sanity is to start eating in a way that at least gives you a chance to be sane. Many foods we eat now such as cola drinks, junk food are chemical cocktails, they can't give our brains a chance to be 'normal'. It's actually a wonder that anybody is operating at any kind of normal level. We are not giving our minds/bodies any of the fuel that might get a sane result.
Kate gives talks and workshops to business clients empowering their staff to adopt healthier lifestyles. Kate is passionate about making nutritional change easy and effective. She is a highly experienced international speaker and her successful practice methods have secured extensive TV appearances, publishing deals, magazine features and commissions as an international keynote speaker.
