Synergy Client Solutions Delighted to Learn that UK Unemployment is Falling

Synergy Client Solutions was relieved to see that UK unemployment fell by 45,000 last month.

According to the Office of National Statistics (ONS), unemployment has fallen for the second month in a row. The figures have fallen to 2.6m, the lowest it’s been since last summer. The average unemployment rate for Europe is firmly at 10.2% but it seems that the UK is heading in the right direction as the national figures have fallen to 8.2%. In addition, the number of people claiming jobseeker's allowance fell for the second month in a row to 1.59m - a large drop of 13,700. So why have figures fallen so dramatically? It seems that the fall in jobless figures is down to a rise in the number of people taking on part-time work. Synergy Client Solutions were intrigued to learn that now eight million are now working in a part-time job – smashing the previous record, held since 1992.

A number of measures have been put in place to try and combat the rising unemployment. Various government and non-government organisations have been tackling the issue and it seems that progress is finally being made. Employment minister Chris Grayling called the figures, “A welcome step in the right direction” and went on to say, “For a number of months now, employment has been growing and this is starting to feed through into improving unemployment figures.”

Benjamin Jeanes, managing director of Synergy Client Solutions was delighted to hear of the new figures. “Unemployment in the UK has been a constant battle and its great when we see improvements like this. However, we must continue to do everything to ensure the numbers keep falling. The Government have worked hard to tackle youth unemployment and now they are moving to tackle unemployment on a larger scale. These recent published figures show a positive trend towards the ultimate goal and it is great we are heading in the right direction.”

These figures are in stark contrast to what is going on in much of the rest of Europe. Spain for example has hit shocking unemployment levels of 24.1% Synergy Client Solutions is hopeful that the trend will spread throughout Europe and help the European economy as a whole to improve.

Synergy Client Solutions Applauds Box-Office Busting Avengers Movie

At Synergy Client Solutions they’ve got a reason to be happy about all the rain. It’s a fantastic opportunity to catch the highest grossing box office success of all time, The Avengers!

The Avengers film, directed by Joss Whedon, is based on the Marvel Comics superhero team. It features an ensemble cast that includes many renowned characters like The Hulk and Ironman.  The movie centers on Nick Fury, a director of a peacekeeping organization ‘S.H.I.E.L.D’ who battle to form a team that must prevent Loki, from enslaving the human race. After the success of the film Iron Man in 2008, it was announced by Marvel that they would release The Avengers in 2012. The film buffs at Synergy Client Solutions have been eagerly anticipating its release.

The film, released only a week ago in the UK, has already taken a whopping £396 million worldwide nabbing the biggest opening weekend of all time. The Avengers smashed the previously held record set in July 2011 by Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows 2, by taking £123 million. The Avengers failed to beat the final Harry Potter's first day takings record of £56 million but surpassed it as a weekend as a whole.

Synergy Client Solutions, a customer acquisitions company based in Bristol, has many clients in the film industry, and so is always in the loop when it comes to new releases. The company, along with many millions of comic book fans eagerly awaited the release of the film after watching the gripping spoiler trailers. Synergy Client Solutions managing director Benjamin Jeanes congratulated The Avengers on beating the previous record help by Harry Potter. “The film was action-packed, filled with special effects and delivered by a strong cast. It came as no surprise to us that it has been so successful.”

Synergy Client Solutions highly recommends that you watch this spectacular new movie and believes there is no better way to kick start your summer. Mr Jeanes said, “I wouldn’t be surprised if it stays at the top of the box office for several weeks. At Synergy Client Solutions, we’re hoping for a sequel!”

Synergy Client Solutions Delighted Bristol Making its Mark on Sunday Times Rich List

Yesterday the Sunday Times released its annual rich list and Synergy Client Solutions was impressed to see some Bristol businessmen and women on the list.

The annual Sunday Times Rich List was released on Sunday and it didn’t fail to disappoint. Despite the news of a double dip recession, the 1,000 wealthiest people in Britain are richer than ever with a combined total wealth of £414 billion, up 4.7 per cent from last year. Synergy Client solutions looks at some of the big names making the list.

The names at  the top of the list were largely unchanged from last year with Lakshmi Mittal and his family keeping the top spot despite losing almost £5 billion on his fortune over the last year. Yate-born J.K Rowling, of Harry Potter fame, saw her fortune increase by £30 million to £560 million which put her in 148^th place. Successful businessman and Bath Rugby chairman Bruce Craig, who was educated in Brislington, came in at 267^th place with a £300 million fortune from his pharmaceutical logistics company.

Synergy Client Solutions was shocked and impressed last year when Peter Hargreaves became Bristol’s first billionaire with a personal fortune of £1.02 billion. However, the stockbroker saw his wealth fall by £190 million over the last twelve months to £830 million. He is the 90^th richest person in the UK and the third richest in the south west. The richest person in the south west is Sir James Dyson, the Wiltshire inventor, who has a fortune of £2.6 billion.

Synergy Client Solutions managing director Benjamin Jeanes feels that the news is incredibly encouraging for the region. “Bristol has been growing itself into one of the biggest, most innovative business regions outside of London over the past decade or so. To be producing such a fantastic crop of businessmen and women is incredible news and something to be very proud of. The fact that we have such variety in Bristol is also very impressive.

Synergy Client Solutions: Record Rain Will Not Abate Drought Measures

Record levels of rain this April will have little affect on hosepipe bans, Synergy Client Solutions understands.

Synergy Client Solutions, a customer acquisitions company in Bristol had recently reported on the hosepipe bans facing much of the UK so when they first read that April would be the wettest month on record they had assumed that our drought worries would be over. Apparently not so.

Some areas of the UK are expected to be hit by a month’s worth of rain in just a few days and the Met Office has issued severe weather warnings across some areas of southern England and eastern Scotland. Synergy Client Solutions would like to echo the warning issued by a spokesperson for the Met Office who said, “The public should take extra care and be aware heavy rain may lead to localised surface water flooding and poor driving conditions.”

Synergy Client Solutions understands that the extreme weather is to include thunderstorms, heavy snow in the Scottish mountains, flood warnings in Devon and tornado clouds have been spotted in Manchester, Durham, East Anglia and Lincolnshire. 

Experts however continue to insist that the downpours will have little effect on the drought in Britain which is the worst since 1976 when standing pipes had to be installed in towns throughout the country. The Environmental Agency has said that because the soil is so dry only steady rain during the winter will have an effect and wash into rivers and groundwater.

A spokesperson for Synergy Client Solutions said, “Residents might find it frustrating that with all this rain, drought measures are still in place. Unfortunately it simply isn’t enough at this stage to have any substantial effect. We can be pleased that we won’t need to get our hosepipes out to water the garden but should stick to the instructions given to us to help prevent further measures when summer finally comes around.”

Synergy Client Solutions Celebrates the Olivier Awards 2012

Synergy Client Solutions celebrates a year of theatre with the Olivier Awards 2012.

With the film awards season over a couple of months ago, the film and theatre fanatics at Synergy Client Solutions were getting anxious for their next fix of glitz and glamour. The Olivier Awards were a perfect way to get back into the swing of things. 

The Olivier, or Lawrence Olivier Awards to give them their full title, were created in 1976. The first ceremony had just 12 awards, a number which has grown over the years as the awards have become more and more prominent. Originally called the Society of West End Theatre Awards, it wasn’t until 1984 that Lawrence Olivier allowed his name to be associated with the awards in celebration of his contribution to London theatre.

Synergy Client Solutions specialises in customer acquisitions and campaign management for the entertainment industry so they naturally keep up to date with all of the events going on in the theatre and film world. The awards were record breakers this year with Matilda The Musical, based on Roald Dahl’s best-selling children’s book, winning an incredible 7 awards including Best Actress in a Musical which was presented jointly to the four young actresses who share the role of Matilda.

Synergy Client Solutions can reveal that the other main winners were.

Ruth Wilson – Best Actress

Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller – Best Actor

Matthew Warchus, Matilda – Best Director

Matilda – Best New Musical

Les Misérables – BBC Radio 2 Olivier Audience Award.

Benjamin Jeanes, managing director of Synergy Client Solutions said of the event,  “People often get swept up in the huge televised American film awards and don’t give enough credit to the theatre world. At Synergy Client Solutions we believe that theatre plays a huge role in Britain’s entertainment history and we’re delighted that the Olivier Awards allow that culture to be celebrated.”

Synergy Client Solutions April Film Review

With April in full swing and the Easter school holidays upon on us, Synergy Client Solutions comes up with their favourite movies for this month.

Synergy Client Solutions is a customer acquisitions company based in Bristol. As they work with some of the biggest companies in the entertainment and film industry, it’s hardly surprising that they keep their fingers on the button when it comes to new releases. They’ve picked out three of their favourite films to get you through the Easter break.

If you’re looking for something to watch as a family over the holidays then Mirror Mirror, based on the story of Snow White, is perfect for adults and children alike. The cast includes Lily Collins who plays Snow White and The Queen is played by Julia Roberts. Synergy Client Solutions liked that the dialogue is quick and funny and, much like Finding Nemo, it has jokes for the adults as well as the kids. The 7 dwarfs have moved on a little since the Disney classic, they dress like ninjas, they’re bandits and they trick their victims into thinking that they’re giants with their extendible legs. It’s visually stunning and will be appreciated by everyone.

With the 100 anniversary of the sinking of the mighty Titanic, James Cameron has re-released Titanic in stunning 3D. This film was a box office record breaker the first time round and was nominated for 11 Oscars. You probably already know the story and though this film wasn’t for everyone,  the incredible special effects make it impressive even if you weren’t interested in the storyline. Synergy Client Solutions is sure that this is going to be popular second time round making fans in the new generation along the way.

The Cabin in the Woods is definitely not one for the whole family but for those of you who like a fright then Synergy Client Solutions is confident that this won’t disappoint. Though the basic plot might seem formulaic, group of young adults spend the weekend in a cabin in the woods and terrifying things happen, this film will turn any expectations you have inside out. The Cabin in the Woods has had incredible reviews by film critics and if terrifying yourself is your kind of thing then this is the perfect film to go and see when it’s released on Friday 13^th.

Synergy Client Solutions Impressed by Government £1 billion CCS Competition

Today the government launched a £1 billion competition to be awarded to the first power plant to be able to capture and store carbon (CCS). Synergy Client Solutions looks at why the competition is so important.

The Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) announced today that the selected project, or projects, could sign front-end engineering and design contracts with the government towards the end of this year and then look to start operating the new plants from 2016 to 2020. Synergy Client Solutions, a customer acquisitions company, believes that this competition could boost investment in the UK and from abroad. 

The DECC believe that the CCS industry could contribute as much as £6.5 billion a year to the economy through exporting knowledge on the technology and also products. They also anticipate the industry creating a hundred thousand jobs. Synergy Client Solutions understands that the reason why the competition has been set up is because there has been very little investment or knowledge gained in the technology globally and the government wants the UK to be at the frontline of a potential game-changer.

To qualify for the funding the CSS projects must have a power plant and carbon capture on UK soil and then a storage facility offshore. Ben Jeanes, managing director of Synergy Client Solutions believes that this is a worthwhile endeavour. “To be at the forefront of such cutting edge technology, in such a sought after field, would be huge for the UK. It would be a real boost to the economy as well as moving forwards to find ways to combat global warming.”

Companies face a July 3^rd deadline for submitting their applications.
