He has performed well for the Lions this winter, taking 3-24 during a consolation victory in a 4-1 series defeat in a one-day series against India A....
Finding ways to motivate your employees can be crucial for the survival of your business. Studies have shown that properly structured incentive programs can increase employee performance by as much as 44% . However, while the possible gains you can get from motivating your employees are apparent, finding and implementing the adequate ways to do it can be quiet tricky.
While most employers choose to go with traditional means of motivation such as promoting their employees or giving them a raise, there are in fact methods that can be both far more rewarding and less demanding on your...
This is a story about choices and consequences and a journey through time and place. A host of historical, fictional and biblical characters gather in a makeshift courtroom in purgatory with Judas at the centre of it all, catatonic with despair and unable to defend himself in a trial that debates the motives of Christianity’s least popular apostle.

Last season it was a watching brief for Matt Kvesic, but on Saturday the all-action forward aims to lead from the front as Exeter Chiefs target Gallagher Premiership Rugby glory against Saracens at Twickenham.
Kvesic has been a stand-out figure for Rob Baxter’s side this season, producing a catalogue of impressive displays that have not only guided the Chiefs back to the capital for a fourth successive year, but at the same time have put the player himself back on a pedestal within English rugby’s top flight.
Not only has the former Gloucester and Worcester Warriors star...
The evenings are getting longer and summer is finally upon us. It’s enough to make anyone want to get out and about of an evening, even those of us whose “Friday night is party night” days have been largely consigned to history. Being on the northern side of 40 doesn’t have to mean you can never get out and enjoy yourself, however, so why not get out there and enjoy a date night in Exeter this weekend?
In case you’ve been away from the scene for a little while, here are some ideas for a night out that will have you rolling back the years.

Except that is not entirely true. There is one important piece of business to be finished before we can fully draw a line under the 2018/19 season, and that is the European Champions Cup Final.
Over recent years, the tournament has been dominated by the likes of Real Madrid and Barcelona,...

The Deputy Mayor, Councillor Yolonda Henson, officially cut the ribbon on the entrance to the new Panny Woodland Walk, surrounded by schoolchildren and parents from Wynstream School on the Burntside Lane Estate at Wonford, Exeter.
Using proceeds from Wilko’s single-use carrier bag charge, Keep Britain Tidy and local community group Ludwell Life devised plans to transform an under-used woodland path next to the Panny brook, which acts as a gateway into the adjacent Ludwell Valley Park. They were supported by volunteers from the local Wilko store and children from Wystream School,...
