Although it's nearly Christmas and lost of people will be thinking about last minute preparations or present buying, GWS wanted to have one last round up of useful resources and news before our break over the festive season. It's been an icy week here in Bristol, with snow and freezing temperatures (though Bristol seems to have got off lightly compared to other parts of the country). We've been keeping busy with promotional work, for clients including Bath-based Drop Dead Gorgeous Boutique, perfect for that emergency Cocktail Dress for the Christmas party you forgot about (if you hurry!).
Here are some news stories and other items we have found interesting this week:
