Security tips

1. Know how to spot a scam

If an offer looks too good to be true, it probably is. Think twice before you click on a link for free airline tickets or other common scams.

2. Choose a one-of-a-kind password

Is your Facebook password different than your email password? If not, please reset your password today.

3. Confirm your mobile number

If you forget your password, we’ll be able to text you a new one. To make sure we can reach you, confirm your mobile number.

International Lunch: Middle East – Liverpool Chamber

by
Liverpool Chamber of Commerce in partnership with UKTI will be hosting a series of International Lunches with a specific market focus to give you an overview of the opportunities available and to address any key issues in the market. The first of these lunches will take place at the Crowne Plaza on 20th June and will focus on the Middle East, which continues to offer high potential for UK companies looking to export.

Market Information
________________________________________

UK exports to the Near and Middle East accounted GBP11.5bn of visible exports in 2010 and trade in services surpassing this. With Saudi Arabia envisaging an expenditure of $385bn on infrastructure projects and Qatar looking to spend USD60bn on transport links, logistics facilities and hospitality in the run up to hosting the 2022 World Cup, there is no doubt that there is a wealth of opportunity available to UK companies in the area.

PH creative – FREE Social Media Bar – Liverpool

Basr _blog _img

The Ph.Creative Social Media Bar!

Here at Ph.Creative we love social media, and we love talking about it. We also happen to be quite partial to an ice cold Peroni and a Jack and coke; which is why we have created our ‘Social Media Bar!’
We want you to come and join us twice a month for drinks, networking and discussions about the latest Social Media exploits, goings on, controversies and successes.
Bar
We’ll keep you in the know and we’ll keep your glass full – you can’t say fairer than that. This isn’t a formal networking event, instead, it’s more of a chance to come and relax after work and share knowledge with like-minded entrepreneurs, businesses leaders and managers.

Our first Social Media Bar will be on Thursday 17th of May starting at 4.30pm. Our topic for the evening will be Google+ so make sure you bring a +1 and answer our quick poll… Will Google+ be bigger than Facebook in 3 years time? 
You can find us on the 1st floor of No.24 Queen’s Insurance Buildings, just off Dale Street and Castle Street. If you’re unsure, here is a MAP.

Come and Social Network…
