Why your company needs a dedicated business phone number

When starting out, a huge percentage of business owners will not put into consideration, during their preliminary planning and setting up of the business, a functional business number. Having a business number has a lot of benefits which would help your company grow.

Those people, who use personal or private lines for their businesses, will soon get caught up and start regretting why they did not get a business number from the word go. With the introduction of mobile phones, the traditional 9 to 5 working hours is slowly becoming extinct.

This is because people might be...

The Innovations behind LOWA Military Boots

Established in 1923 by Lorenz Wagner, LOWA started out as a small Bavarian manufacturer of Oxford Brogue shoes. Handcrafting their footwear using the Norwegian welt-stitch, by the end of the decade LOWA’s reputation had grown to the point where supply could no longer meet demand and their manufacturing facility had to expand.
