Utility & Telephony Expense Management, plus the opportunity to create a substantial residual income

April 2009: I just found out how I can now buy my petrol & diesel fuel at reduced prices and get a discount on my shopping ................Great!



There are a whole host of new offers and enhancements to services, including:

• Plus lots, lots, lots, lots more.
  
  New website is now live here - www.go-fast.co.uk
  
  
  
  Who do you know who is raising funds for a good cause?
  
  I am looking for introductions to individuals, small charities, even football or rugby clubs - amateur or professional, cubs, guides, dance troupes and so on. Even organisations that help animals or the countryside ..... there is a very long list.
  
  
  The Community Fund Raiser scheme launched on the 1st Novermber 2007 has simply taken off, and is bringing much needed extra funds to deserving causes.
  
  Update May 2008: The scheme has been enhanced by the company and has a number of major improvements - code words for more money.

  I have been self employed in one form or another since 1988 working with some of the best and worst within the b2b and b2c environment. I am a passionate networker not only being a member here but also a great believer in early mornings and attend regular breakfast meetings with a BRX group in Croydon where I and am a founder member. If you wish to attend as a visitor one morning, please give me a call so that I may arrange that for you.
  
  We specialise in a complete telephony and utility audit and see typically 10 business and home users each week, plus handle stacks of enquiries by letter and email from all around the UK. We fervently believe that by providing the right information, the user (home or business) can make the right decision for themselves, we are simply the interpreter or facilitator - it is perhaps why we have clients going back over 20 years who have used our knowledge across various disciplines to assist their growth or in this instance cost savings.
  
  Utility Warehouse Discount Club also has opportunities for additional agents countrywide, which in line with the Ecademy Ethos I do not actively promote here. However, if you are interested in finding out more, then please click here:

  Hobbies and Leisure
  
  On the leisure side of things I am a passionate supporter of AFC Wimbledon as you may have gathered from above, and we had a little task of raising £2.5 million by the end of 2003. We raised £1.3 million by way of a share issue as of the 31st October 2003, and funded the rest through a loan scheme, if you would like to find out more please click here
  
  As at January 2009, fund raising continues apace. There are a number schemes in place including seat sponsorship, Mega Draw plus a 100 x 100 bike ride to enable the debt to be paid off. We held a very successful boxing night in conjunction with local amateur club Foley for the last two years, and just about to have the Walk 4 Wimbledon IV, which has in the past raised thousands of pounds for the Club and for the Mayor of Merton charities.
  
  We are always open to new ideas, so please do not hesitate to drop me a message.
  
  Further information on these websites:
  
  AFC Wimbledon and The Dons Trust
  
  I am also involved on the campaigning side of things, and those who have followed football over the last 48 months or so will have heard me on the radio or seen one of the many articles I have written in the national press about plans to move Wimbledon FC to Milton Keynes. I basically ran the media campaign on behalf of the Wimbledon Independent Supporters Association (WISA).
  
  As one of the founding four of WISA I was very much against this scenario and remain anti-franchising in sport to this day - sorry if there any Americans reading
  
  Other interests include writing, which I do for the local newspaper (sport), plus a couple of national publications (business). And here I sing the praises of networking providing advice and tips on how to improve what you are doing.
  
  As and when the fancy takes me I shall update this profile from time to time.
  
  In the meantime, if anyone feels like having a chat, Monday is always a great day, and my contact details are above or if you are not a Power Networker or BlackStar, they are:
  
  Office 0844 826 1730

  What do I read?
  
  Naturally self-help books, most things football related plus a number of newspapers.
