Every business should have a business plan no matter if they need to raise finance or not. A business plan can help focus on important business aspects and help to achieve goals. Research shows that those businesses that succeed are the ones run by people who have taken advice and written a business plan.After all, business people can be excellent widget makers or trifle decorators or IT gurus,

Welcome to The Business Room. Over the last few months this feature has grown in terms of the number of business to business related advertisers. In conjunction with this, a large percentage of those who advertise within the magazine are Moreton Hall residents who manage or run their own business. With both these factors in mind I felt there was a real need to develop the business room even

The pub on the edge of Moreton Hall, along with its name, the “Flying Fortress” has always captured my imagination. It is a unique, very Bury St Edmunds venue, which is firmly connected to a piece of the area’s history - the wartime presence of the American 8th airforce at nearby Rougham airfield, with their planes - the Flying Fortresses. “Flying Fortress” was the name given to the wartime B17

Your kidneys are two bean-shaped organs, each about the size of your fist. They're located at the back of your upper abdomen, one on either side of your spine. The kidneys' main function is to eliminate excess fluid and waste material from your blood. High blood pressure and diabetes - are the most common causes of kidney failure– see previous articles.The kidneys also house the Adrenal Glands

Many people think that rabbits are naturally wild in the UK. In fact, we can point the finger at the Normans, in the years after they won the battle of Hastings in 1066. It follows that every wild rabbit you see is as historically interesting as Moyses Hall in the town centre, another Norman artefact. Rabbits were brought here from France as farm animals for their meat and for their fur. In

Following the report published in the August edition of The Moreton Hall Directory, I received notification that the Human Zoo event to be held at Rougham on the weekend of 10th August was cancelled.The timings were most unfortunate, because at the time, distribution of the magazine was in full swing.The subject of this event has been very tricky to cover, as there are many opposing views.

If you had been alive a hundred years ago, and went for a summer's walk in the countryside that has now become Moreton Hall, you would have expected to see lots of butterflies. Today, their numbers have declined seriously and five of the 59 British species have become extinct. The future of nearly half our remaining species hangs in the balance as they continue to decline in many area of the

Ruby in Bury continues her monthly look at the history of the Moreton Hall Estate. When the topic of Moreton Hall came up for discussion on my blog recently, the first comment was from a lady who remembered living on Raedwald Drive as a child, and playing football with American soldiers on a field opposite her house. Once the street name had been mentioned, it was surprising how many people

Hopefully many of you will agree that beauty goes much deeper than just the surface skin, and that indeed beauty also comes from within. However – do we bear this in mind when we rub lotions and potions onto our skin? Do we consider that these lotions are absorbed on a much deeper level than just our surface skin?

Nearly all businesses start from home – a back bedroom, a shed, the kitchen table – and some never move. It’s great if you can work it that way, as it makes it much easier to mesh the business in with your family.It is also a relatively cheap and quick way to start trading, but you should still go at it carefully – after all, if you are running a business, you should be business-like.
