With the recent heatwave, many drivers in Exeter are beginning to feel the familiar tickle of hay fever creeping in. For those planning to spend more time on the road this season, a local car retailer has shared simple precautions to make driving both safer and more comfortable.
The advice follows new research commissioned by Volvo, which found that drivers in the South West have experienced sneezing, itchy eyes, fatigue or reduced concentration behind the wheel, with 88% admitting these symptoms have affected their control of the vehicle.
A full diary doesn’t always mean a safer business. A café can be packed all Saturday and still struggle with Monday’s supplier bill, while a trades firm can have work booked in but no cash in the account until customers finally pay.
Across the South West, small businesses often have to plan around seasonal trade, weather-hit footfall, staff cover, supplier costs, and customers who need chasing. A more settled year starts with knowing where pressure usually builds, then making decisions before cash gets tight.
If your back hurts first thing in the morning but feels fine by lunchtime, the problem almost certainly isn't your back. Structural spinal issues, disc herniations, and muscle injuries don't resolve themselves within a few hours of getting vertical. What does resolve itself, however, is the postural stress caused by spending eight hours on a surface that isn't supporting your spine properly.
Morning back pain that fades during the day is one of the most common and most misdiagnosed complaints in primary care. People attribute it to ageing, inactivity, or sleeping "wrong," when in...
In recent years, large scale inflatables have become a staple in the world of events and outdoor promotions. These eye-catching structures are not only incredibly versatile but also provide a fun and memorable experience for attendees. From festivals to corporate events, inflatables offer a unique way to captivate an audience, enhance brand visibility, and create a buzz. In this article, we'll explore the various ways large scale inflatables are used to make events and promotions stand out.
The Impact of Visual Appeal
One of the primary reasons that large scale inflatables are so...
The importance for modern brick-and-mortar businesses to ensure that they exist both in reality and digitally can’t be overstated. With people spending more time glued to their phones than ever, this is the main place to reach them with offers and promotions.
In Exeter, there are now handy apps emerging that give people the chance to discover offers from independent businesses in the city. This is great for flash deals and to help companies pick up some extra revenue during quieter times. Some innovative businesses are branching out into other digital offers too, such as loyalty...
Warehouses of all kinds see a lot of stock coming in and out all the time. With the size of the logistics industry at the moment, the movement of stock has become one of the primary focuses of much of the UK’s operational space. That’s why it’s important to invest in and install enough loading bay equipment, as a comprehensive suite will help to keep bottlenecks from causing serious interruptions.
Competitive bays in 2026 need to be balanced with truck loading equipment, permanent environmental installations and modern technological integrations. This article will put a spotlight...
This Volunteers’ Week, Blue Cross in Devon is thanking its team of dedicated volunteer pet foster carers who go the extra mile to care for homeless animals until permanent owners are found by caring for them in their own home.
From small pets like degus and chinchillas to dogs, cats and even horses. The charity is also calling on local animal lovers to find out more about becoming a volunteer foster carer and sign up.
Last year the rehoming centre on Matford Park Road in Marsh Barton, Exeter, helped nearly 1100 pets, and so far this year has helped nearly 500.
You might love working outdoors, know your way around a mower and already have neighbours asking whether you could sort their overgrown garden. Turning that into paid work, though, is different from doing the odd weekend favour.
Outdoor jobs can become regular income, but only if the numbers, tools, transport and expectations make sense. Before you print flyers or buy a van, look at the parts that decide whether the work pays after the first rush.
Know What You’re Actually Selling
“Gardening” can mean mowing lawns, pruning shrubs, laying turf, clearing waste, pressure...
