Stephen Farley Announces the Launch of a New Repayment Effort on The 17th February 2012 Stephen Farley trading on a self employed basis announces the launch of Revolve, an advertising and marketing effort. The business main focus is to encourage entrepreneurs, small business and socially aware consumers, to embrace as fact, that challenges are an integral part of success and must be seen as feedback necessary for achieving goals. Many small businesses are defeated by the lack of capital, but Stephen Farley who came to prominence when his former business Cameron Farley Limited controversially became the subject of a Financial Services Authority injunction on 2nd September 2008, said, "Revolve is an example of a fundamental principle every business must embrace: A demonstration of a duty of care to every client irrespective of challenges, never hiding behind the limited liability clause, circumstances or use the blame culture as an excuse for non-performance". Stephen sees this as an opportunity to demonstrate real leadership and is disappointed that the Financial Services Authority, Grant Thornton UK LLP and other agencies knowingly and intentionally choose not to exercise the levels of integrity, impartiality and duty of care expected by the public during the Cameron Farley Investigation. Stephen insists that he will use his experiences to illustrate and challenge Institutional Prejudice and sees his predicament as having similarities to the Stephen Lawrence Case. Stephen hopes his unshakeable resolve drives home to groups such as The London Rioters, that their mindless violence was futile, as it purely served as carte blanche for the unrepentant perpetrators of bias and double standards to justify and continue abuse. Stephen insist that he has overcome the ruthless challenges to his repayment efforts, with an application to the courts under section 303 of the Insolvency Act with his priority being to return the Cameron Farley clients and all other creditors to financial parity. Stephen confirms his repayment commences on the last calendar day of March 2012 and monthly thereafter, using the following structure: Phase 1: Repayment of outstanding Cameron Farley initial loan capital as a % of individuals' initial contributions Phase 2: Payment of the variable interest, calculated as a % of the balances outstanding as at 2nd September 2008 Although the publishing industry is well represented, Stephen is confident that the leverage created by the Social Media Revolution represents sustainable business opportunities. Revolve offers a hybrid of Web Banner and Magazine Advertising at a price that truly compliments the strategies and pricing points of small business. Revolve is all about empowering small business and engaging socially aware consumers, Stephen continued. “Revolve celebrates the lifestyles and work life balance practices across UK communities, without bias, prejudice or limitation.” Revolve Magazines are e-publications, but printed copies are included (as standard) in each full magazine advertising package. Copies are available at Public Libraries and other community outlet such as small business advice centres. You can read the magazines online from Friday 17th February 2012 at www.revolve.uk.com/revolve-magazines/, plus on IPADS and other portable devices. Beyond that, mobile phone applications and other rich media channels are planned. “Our goal is to publish magazine and rich media content that actively empower and engage in excess of 1% of the 4 million+ small businesses (and their direct employees) across the UK Regions”, Stephen Farley said.

Engaging Socially aware consumers In addition, we recognise that UK consumers want to influence the customer service offerings and business strategies of their service providers, while being advocates of reducing the carbon footprint in the communities they live. As a direct response, we have added the WIIFM (What is in it for me?) factor to our product offering in the form of Revolve Members' Club, an on-line community that rewards consumers for supporting our efforts. In addition to a free monthly prize draw, members enjoy discounts and products bartered in exchange for website banner and magazine advertising. Our membership card incorporates the latest CHIP technology which means that benefits are easily transferred. Revolve promote the members' area as a vehicle to compensate communities for the risk of environmental pollution created by small businesses performing economic activity. Revolve also uses this channel for small businesses to promote their green initiative, duty of care compliance and social awareness programs. Revolve identify Good Causes (Charities) as being a true representation of the social groups, cultures and lifestyles across grass root communities and a reliable medium to raise awareness about the risk of environment pollution. In recognition, we provide free advertorial exposure in our monthly magazines and donate five pence in every pound of net revenues we generate from our recycling initiative. (To be shared across our four designated good causes: Environmental Protection, Education & Learning, Fitness & Wellbeing and Health) Revolve is not part of the structure, nor do we participate in the administration or management of the good causes we support.
Realising grass root potential Revolve is of the opinion, that although not all disadvantage individuals and groups are victims of their own circumstances, a majority fail to realise their true potential or suffer from the stigmas of teacher and other in authority telling them they are lost causes. Living examples are Simon Cowell of the X-factor fame who was often bored in school, dropped out at age 17 and was told by his teachers that he would never amount to anything. His first job was working in a mail room, now his true abilities speak for themselves. James Dyson the inventor of the popular Dyson cyclonic vacuum was given the cold shoulder by every UK manufacturer and distributor, not because his product lacked merit, but to avoid disturbing the monopoly for replacement vacuum dust bags. The moral of the story, "understand the motives of your critics and doubters". I myself know what it is like as Leslie Wooler and the Grant Thornton team- the liquidators of Cameron Farley Limited, refuse to recognise the innovative product being offered by Cameron Farley Ltd and is reported to communicate to clients that I am a dreamer and delusional. I see this as a perfect opportunity to demonstrate stealth and engage and empower those amongst the 40 million plus adults (over 15 years old) that want to realise their true potential. "If you are ignorant of both your enemy and yourself, then you are a fool and certain to be defeated in every battle". Sun Tzu (Chinese military strategist) and the Art of War

Welcome to Revolve Magazines Embracing the digital publishing revolution
Revolve is a direct response towards the call to action for heightened awareness regarding the risk of environmental pollution and realising the potential of the people who live and work in grass root communities. We are not setting unrealistic expectations, we are metaphorically in a similar scenario to the late Sir Bernard Mathews, (an incubator and a few turkey eggs), a lack of capital to meet the cost of recycling, previous projects that did not achieve the desired outcome, but the tenacity and spirit to succeed. We do not embrace the blame culture; instead we aim to use magazine and internet advertising as the source of capital to deliver our sustainable recycling solutions. Empowering small businesses Our product offering enable small business to empower the people who live in the grass root communities where they perform economic activity. A cost effective opportunity to promote green initiatives and realise potential. Revolve recognises small businesses as the real ambassadors of the communities where they perform economic activity and suitably qualified to influence community dynamics. Engaging socially aware consumers Revolve recognise and salute the savvy consumers that want to engage service providers and influence their business strategies, customer service offerings and green initiatives of their service providers. A simple registration at www.revolve.uk.com raises awareness of the risk of environmental pollution in your local community.

Revolve measure the opinions regarding the claims made by the former Welsh and Northern Ireland secretary Paul Murphy (now Labour MP for Torfaen), says devolution for the English regions could protect the interests of people across the UK. Mr Murphy, was discussing the implications for the future of the United Kingdom given the prospect of a Scottish referendum on independence in 2013 or 2014. Revolve recognises the link between small business success and work life balance.

revolve magazine welsh edition Analysing the history of Wales, it's economic performance since devolution, and the outlook for 21st Century Wales “As First Minister of the Welsh Government, I have been given a mandate by the people of Wales to deliver on a renewed set of ambitions. Our manifesto set out the difference that we want to make to the lives of people in Wales: healthy people living productive lives in a more prosperous and innovative economy; safer and more cohesive communities, with lower levels of poverty and greater equality; a resilient environment with more sustainable use of our natural resources and a society with a vital sense of its own culture and heritage. We set out the key things that would make the difference to achieving these outcomes, and in particular our priority actions on Five for a Fairer Future. At the heart of this is a focus on people and our commitment to support the development of a fairer society in which every person is able to make the most of their abilities and contribute to the community in which they live. This is our Welsh account of sustainable development: an emphasis on social, economic and environmental well-being for people and communities, embodying our values of fairness and social justice. We must also look to the longer-term in the decisions that we make now, to the lives of our children’s children as well as current generations. All our policies and programmes will reflect this commitment to sustainability and fairness so that we make sustainable development our central organising principle�. Rt Hon Carwyn Jones AM First Minister of Wales

Competitor analysis Revolve is focused on the way competitors measure themselves, their strategy to date, their major strengths and weaknesses and likely future strategy. In the first of these knowing the way competitors see themselves - much can be learned from public accounts, interviews and the trade press. Other ways are to have competitive personnel, take part in trade fairs, purchase the competitor’s product and take it apart, or indulge in “espionage”. In identifying the competitor’s strategy to date, it is not enough to believe what they say but to reconstruct their strategy. Evaluating resources is difficult. It is essential to look at their production, marketing, financial and management resources. On the basis of these first three, it is possible to guess the future.
Sources of competitive advantage Revolve’s competitive advantage is driven by innovation that culminates into: 1. New technologies: The technologic change resulting in e-publishing offers Revolve a sustainable vehicle to deliver a product that is feasible 2. New or changing customer’s needs: The need of small businesses have change, with emphasis on reducing the cost of production. The new breed of savvy small business and consumer also realise that innovation is driven by small business. Revolve is not incumbered by an old hybrid structure 3. Devolution has given birth to a new recognition of the well established brands and co-brands across the UK. The regrouping of the old tradition segments enable Revolve to recognise the new segments of clients, and opportunity to offer products that compliment this change Change in the costs of inputs: The barriers to entry caused by access to capital has now been removed, giving small business equal access to resources and opportunity. Most significantly, Revolve embraces the local regional and national governmental programs that urge small business to empower themselves in addition to recognising their impact and contribution to environment risk in the communities that they perform economic activities.
Competitive strategy Revolve's marketing. Coordination of activities across regions to gain leverage, of know how. Grasps opportunities for upstream advantage in the value chain. Generic approaches There are few perceived differences between magazine in print form and e-publishing products and their uses are widespread, then the lowest cost firms get the advantage.

Positioning strategy Revolve pursues a hybrid of the three main positioning strategy: (1) market leading, (2)market challenging, (3) market following. Our goal is to strive for cost advantage, innovation, and proactive reactions to small business marketing and advertising needs. Our success is built on: 1. Economies of scale - low cost of production 2. Customer knowledge - shifting the product mix to meet changing demand 3. Technological innovation- service segments on a more personal level than the leader 4. The “copy adapt� strategy replicate successful product/ market strategy pioneered by another organisation and adapt it regional and grass root brands. 5. Out sourcing- Leverage our strengths and out source our weaknesses.
Strategic alliances Revolve intend to take advantage of the collaborative schemes regularly promoted by government and environment agencies. We view competition as constructive as it can absorb demand fluctuations, expand the market, increase motivation, and act responsively to the industry. There is, for example, room for all industries to share the responsibility of limiting and managing the risk of environment pollution emanating from economic activities across local communities.
Product life cycle We are mindful to monitor the product life cycle and is of the opinion that e-publishing is in its growth stage and a perfect opportunity for small and marginalised business and entrepreneurs to enjoy the same high profile marketing and advertising as their large counterparts.
Strategies for success Revolve has identified opportunities to use the parallel between social media, recycling, duty of care compliance and social awareness to empower and engage . The fact that one in every ten households has a resident that owns or work for a small business offers Revolve an opportunity to identifying growth segments within small business segments.
