Why We Need a Physical Activity Revolution
March 25, 2015
Public opinion is changing. The role of physical activity and sport in ensuring a healthy and balanced life is now, finally, being heavily pushed in the media, by Public Health England, and the Department for Culture, Media and Sport. We like to think the tipping point was the All-Party Commission on Physical Activity. Established in the Autumn of 2013, the Commission heard from nearly 200 organisations and individuals across six evidence sessions and written submissions...

FleishmanHillard Insight Special – Budget 2015
March 19, 2015
Coining It In Yesterday, the Treasury unveiled a significant redesign of the one pound coin, in a PR coup that saw the Chancellor himself telephone the Midlands teenager who had drawn the design. Not only was this great heart-warming stuff (come on, be kind), but it also gave Osborne an opportunity to promote the coin as "the most secure" in the world, as part of his bid to combat fraud. So, good news for teenagers...

Friday TechMunch: Ready or Not, Here They Come
January 23, 2015
2014 was a year of highs and lows for drone manufacturers. A report published by the Guardian said that sales of consumer drones were up 24% but there were precious few weeks without at least one article or government expressing their done-related concerns.

October 1, 2014
Going into his speech today, David Cameron had two principal goals – firstly, to address effectively the threat posed by UKIP. Secondly, to make inroads into Labour territory. By most reckoning, he more than rose to the task. Coming onto stage to The Killers' hit Mr Brightside, the Prime Minister delivered what many people will come to say is one of the best speeches he has given to his party. In deliberate contrast to Miliband...

September 29, 2014
Celebrities are getting hacked off with iCloud. Last month, more than 100 high profile celebrities had their phones hacked and intimate pictures posted online. With a selection of these celebrities claiming the photos had already been deleted and therefore, couldn’t have been stolen, how did these hackers gain access, and what threat does this pose to our data?

May 23, 2014
Over the past few years, the tech world has been bubbling over with excitement around all things ‘cloud’.

May 9, 2014
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No…actually, it’s another drone Drones… they seem to be everywhere lately. Over the last year we’ve seen an insurgence of drone announcements, including the Amazon delivery drones (swiftly followed by the ingenious O.W.L.S campaign issued by Waterstones), and this week two new drone announcements, coincidently both related to repairs. The first announcement comes via EasyJet, which has announced plans to introduce unmanned drones to inspect its fleet...
