Announced in the budget this week was the welcome news of an increase to the flood budget for 2014/2015. For the thousands of homes affected by flood this year this will certainly be a step in the right direction….
A £2.3bn investment is being implemented over the next six years to protect some of the country’s most at-risk locations. Flood defences were battered in last winter’s storms and the Treasury is aiming for 96.4% of the most important defences to be restored and enhanced by April 2015.

Why your firm should support working mothers to the hilt

If you are going to balance the demands of work and childcare, and stay sane, you need to adapt, and with any luck your firm will adapt with you. In doing so you will both win, and your respective productivity will soar. When I had my son, I realised just how lucky I was. Not only did I have the incredible support of my, and my husband’s, family through this life-changing time, but I had a firm that offered me complete flexibility and control over my return to business life.
