First and foremost, we would like to extend a warm welcome to The German Academy! To gain insight into the company, we were able to get an interview with one of the founders, Marianne Siegfried-Brookes. Tell us a bit about your background in your chosen industry?

NEW St Albans Office Space!!!!!

Blog, Exeid, Exeid News, serviced office space
We acquired Redfern House having changed management on a building in February that had just undergone a refurb (by ourselves).

Are you prepared for GDPR?

Blog, Business Advice, Commercial Property, Exeid, Exeid News
The first step to making sure that you are ready for GDPR is understanding what GDPR is - GDPR stands for General Data Protection Regulation and will come into effect in the UK from 25th May 2018. The new GDPR is an EU law giving extra rights to individuals regarding their personal information and how it is stored and processed. This will bring a new challenge to UK businesses, as tougher data protection laws come into force, raising standards in data control and processing – and now is the time to prepare. Brexit will have no impact on the GDPR requirements. The UK Government has made it very clear that it will be implementing the new rules regardless. In brief, this new framework means customers or clients can challenge the accuracy…

Nottingham University Ingenuity Event – Predicting the Future of Technology and business?

Exeid News
Future Gazing & Future Shaping – 30th Sept 2014 Nobody can predict the future. However, by studying the latest technology developments, social trends, and data on resource availability, it is possible to predict a range of possible futures. In turn this can allow individuals and organizations to anticipate the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead, and to take actions to shape the future they most desire. In this breakfast event, futurist Christopher Barnatt returns to explore the application of future studies as a business tool. In particular he will focus on the business impact of increasing resource scarcity, rising localization, re-distributed manufacturing, and associated new technologies. Many large organizations are now starting to open up their planning horizons, and are increasingly working with futurists when determining their strategies. Smaller businesses should similarly no longer ignore the longer-term, and Chris will show…
