New initiative looks at what it’s like to do business here

An exciting new initiative is being launched today to gauge what it’s really like to do business in Wiltshire.
Wiltshire Business Barometer is a quarterly survey designed to provide a snapshot of economic conditions in the region as well as insights into the hot topics of the day.
It is being driven by one of Wiltshire’s leading law firms, Withy King, in association with Wiltshire Business magazine.
The first survey will be emailed to hundreds of businesses across Wiltshire and the results will be reported in a four-page editorial feature in the November issue of Wiltshire Business, supported by interviews with participants, company profiles and advice from the experts.
“Wiltshire is home to an eclectic mix of businesses and we look forward to hearing their voices,” said Malcolm Gregory, head of corporate services at Withy King in Swindon.
“While there are plenty of national surveys out there, we felt it would be interesting to engage with businesses based in our region and hear their accounts of how wider economic conditions are impacting on their operations and future plans.
“We also felt it would provide a useful platform to identify and debate the issues which matter to businesses trading in Wiltshire or using this region as a base for national or international trade.
“We hope to hear the views of as many businesses as possible, making this representative and genuinely useful.
“We will share the results with everyone involved and encourage further discussion and networking via our LinkedIn group entitled Wiltshire Business Barometer, which will be launching soon, along with various events.”
The inaugural survey is now live. To take part and be in with a chance of winning the new iPad 3 follow this link http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/MSQ6GP9

Do tell us where you studied business related degrees--or business law or any academic qualifications you have that should allow us to believe you know what you are talking about--as clearly you really have no idea whatsoever.

I did not state any expert knowledge merely that such services already exist, and are freely available as my link shows.

You seem to think that you are an expert on business-mainly through very pointless links. There are in fact many very astute and business oriented companies around that take great interest in our town--which includes some very excellent lawyers with extremely good knowledge of our town and advise accordingly--as each business may well have peculiarities that needs professional advice--rather than listening to failed politicians who are guided by their political masters--rather than expert advice.

Do remember the privacy rules on the site whereby the adver can and do hold isp addresses.
There are numerous sites which disclose known trolls throughout the country and will give a full list of sites visited by them--a public service to expose imbeciles.
Your common practice to post links that favour your posts is well known--or should i say the opinions you offer do coincide with links you post.
Do try to give your own opinions rather than some non-descript political party that has as much chance of running this country than hell freezing over.

Perhaps you could comment on the article rather on fantasy.
I didn't state an opinion, I stated a fact that many services and information sites exist some weekly some monthly covering every conceivable of running a business, including legal updates.
You have not commented whatsoever on the veracity of my posts, merely your opinion which is no more valid than mine.
By the way when you receive an interrupt message from the Adver saying someone has complained and you are the only one likely to, it rather suggests you have.
Or is that too logical for a man who claims to deal with logic. Or do you think everyone else on here hangs on your every word?
Second thoughts you probably do.

Typical incomplete sentence.
By the way when you receive an interrupt message from the Adver saying someone has complained and you are the only one likely to, it rather suggests you have.
To clarify this idiotic claim--you must be the only person in receipt of these so called "interrupt" messages--perhaps you should copy these to substantiate such a claim.
In general the administraters do not give reasons--or notification why posts or articles have been closed--as to the terms entered into when registering.
As to who you are--most regulars on here are of a singular opinion of how your known gaffes/grammar/spell
ing and claims leave no room for doubt.
I have not used the report facility for some considerable time.

As for incomplete sentences, much the same as you continually do which in your case you claim is just a mistake. I missed out one word, ASPECT, so sorry.
As for trolls following other trolls, that frankly is simply the Lemming syndrome, for those who are incapable of thinking for themselves.
But true to form you still fail to make any substantive comment on the article, whilst claiming others don't. That's hypocrisy.

You rarely contribute to the article-you are obsessed with trolls-clearly you do not understand the meaning of that--give it a rest as we would like to enjoy sensible debate--something you lack.

You incite everyone one around you. I note how you ignore others who deride you.
