my main website is currently 'live'

At 11:23 am (GMT) on wednesday 20th October, the button was pressed and my main website was relaunched.

With thanks to Ross and the team at thirdsectorlab, I hope you'll enjoy it!

Recent news

due to technical issues that my web developer is currently seeking to resolve, my main and usual website is temporarily inaccesibe.

I've therefore created this as a short-term and temporary replacement - apologies for the 'rough and ready' feel to it, but I felt that it would be useful to get something 'back up', however unpolished, as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience.

Media articles

I've also had a number of short pieces and letters published in national press and sector publications - copies of these can be accessed and downloaded by following this link

they cover a range of issues including:
* why procurement is a bad thing for social enterprise
* how private and social enterprises can learn together
* the importance of failure
* risks and dangers associated with different legal forms
* impacts and implications of faith for enterprises
* different financing and funding models
* defining and measuring the social enterprise sector
