EVENTS are being held at two new homes developments in Devon to help homeowners speed up selling and buying.

Edenstone Homes is hosting Part Exchange and Assisted Move events at Willow Grange in Exeter and The Orchards in Sampford Peverell this weekend (January 24/25). Its teams of experts will be on hand at both locations to guide homeowners through the options available to streamline selling and buying.

Operations director Chris Edge said: “We’ve had an influx of enquiries post-Christmas from people keen to move to a new home in Devon but in many cases have a house to...

Office redesigns usually begin with good intentions: improve productivity, refresh the brand image, and create a space people actually enjoy working in. Yet many projects stall early, becoming expensive, disruptive, or visually inconsistent. One common challenge sits right at the edge of the room—windows. Light, glare, privacy, and temperature all stem from them, and when they’re poorly managed, even the best furniture and layouts fall short. That’s why experienced designers and facility managers often start office redesigns with blinds, not desks or décor.

Well-being is talked about as something to attain, not feel. Daily tasks help us drink more water, sleep, walk, and manage stress. Self-care may be too stressful for these people, even if they intend well. Some people think they are always falling behind on their health instead of getting better.

This phenomenon makes many people wonder whether health care should be set up this way. Some people say that natural remedies from online stores such as High & Supply ( highnsupply.co.uk ) are kinder because they prioritise comfort over speed. This trend shows that people want health...

It’s fair to say that alcoholism doesn’t just affect the person that is living with it. While they are, of course, the primary concern and they’re the one that needs help to get their life back on track, it can be a challenging period of time for friends, colleagues and family alike.

For family members in particular seeing a loved one go through addiction can be tough, and it’s important to ensure they get the alcohol help they need. For you, as a family member, it’s also valuable to find methods and strategies to look after yourself and the rest of the family too. So here are...

Whitney Wolfe Herd built Bumble into a company worth billions. Her platform gave women control over the first message and reshaped how millions of people approached online romance. So when she told an audience that dating apps are "feeling like a thing of the past," people paid attention. The founder of one of the largest dating platforms in the world had openly questioned the future of her own industry.

The numbers behind her statement tell a familiar story to anyone watching tech stocks. Bumble's share price sat above $75 when the company went public. It now hovers around $8....

There are challenges on the horizon for businesses with fleets in the United States and Canada.

Whether the problem is high fuel prices, changing environmental mandates, driver shortages, tight margins, or some combination of all of these factors, the fact is that fleet managers need to remain nimble and quickly adapt to changing circumstances. What was once a desire to maximize efficiency as a way to create confidence in the profit potential and value of a fleet of vehicles is now a matter of survival. With competition fierce and budget constraints aplenty, fleet owners,...

In the early days of the Internet, online checkouts looked very different. Modern-day shoppers would find them a far cry from the familiar – bare-bones HTML and pixelated branding, payment with cash on delivery. Yet that’s exactly how ordering a Pizza Hut looked like in 1994.

That same year, NetMarket, a pioneering online marketplace, went as far as to build their own encrypted browser for secure online payment. The multi-step process burdened the customers, leading to many abandoned carts.

Three decades on, customers tap their cards and phones for a payment, use...
