As the years seem to fly past quicker than ever, we are once again approaching Christmas and the end to another year.
It’s been an incredibly busy year with Ghost Publishing, publisher of TopicUK and Yorkshire Businesswoman magazines, launching a third publication: Northern Businesswoman, covering the Northeast in October.
In the current edition of TopicUK that you can read here on the website, I was concerned reading the story on page 69 about glass and the costs of recycling. I am very conscious about the overuse of plastics and its damage on the environment and where possible, I purchase things in glass rather than plastic and recycle where I can, but there are concerns about the costs which could drive us all to use more plastics, do have a read, I would be interested in your thoughts.
I was lucky enough to be invited to the new Leeds showrooms of JCT600 who have opened the first Rolls-Royce showroom in England alongside other prestigious brands, Bentley and Aston Martin. Not only that, but I was also collected from my office by David, the JCT600 chauffeur in a beautiful Rolls-Royce and driven to the showroom. You can read about my trip on page 74 of the latest Yorkshire Businesswoman magazine, available on the website.
I was saddened recently at the passing of Mohammed Sabir MBE founding director of the Aagrah Group. Although I didn’t know him very well, our paths have crossed many times as I am a regular at Aagrah Leeds, I also knew Mr Sabir’s daughter who sadly passed away a few years ago. You can read a tribute to him within the online edition from his nephew Naeem.
Finally, I would like to offer my best wishes for a very merry Christmas and healthy and prosperous New Year.
