Chance to join 20’s Plenty group

A 20mph speed limit campaign for Dorset is inviting people to join up. The recently formed branch of 20’s Plenty for Us has been formed to lobby for 20mph as normal where people live or mix with motor traffic. They are keen for most 30mph roads to go 20mph through signage and public engagement, rather than humps or engineering. Anna Semlyen from the campaign group said: “20mph is safer, healthier and more sustainable than 30mph, with 20% fewer road casualties as a direct result. Noise is almost halved.” She added: “Dorset Council is responsible for speed limit schemes and its officers are currently drawing up recommendations for a review of its speed management policy. I encourage everyone to write NOW to their county councillor to express support for an area wide 20 limit. This overall limit (as opposed to 20mph zones which cover just a few streets at a time) has advantages of not requiring costly traffic calming engineering, less confusing for road users than frequent limit changes and costs a fraction of doing it village by village, town by town.” For information, email Dorset@20splentyforus. org.uk or go to 20splenty.org To join the “20’s plenty for us” national campaign (free) contact Anna Semlyen 07572 120439 email Anna.s@20splenty.org

Business Accountants celebrating winning a national award

CBA Services Ltd, in East Street, Blandford, have been awarded Sole Practitioner of the Year by Xero Accounting Software. They have thanked their clients, contacts, friends and family for their support since Catherine Chapman took the huge step to leave a large, top ten accountancy firm and set up on her own in 2013. CBA Services has now grown into a team of ten with a varied client base and are entering their fifth year in Blandford. Xero said their proactive approach to supporting clients, whether in tackling the challenges of the past 12 months or preparing for future changes, was what had helped the firm grow their client base and take home the award. Judge Emma Jones, founder of Enterprise Nation, said: “In this past year small businesses have really needed their trusted advisor and I was looking for how bookkeepers and accountants have stepped up and helped their clients. CBA Services are a really good example of that.” The firm is planning for the introduction of Making Tax Digital for income tax in two years’ time, something judge John Coldicutt, Xero marketing director (UK & EMEA), was impressed with. “It shows how forward thinking they are,” he said.

New trade deal opens India market

Adrian Fisher MBE is the

Founder of Adrian Fisher Design Ltd, the world’s number one maze company, which has created over 700 mazes across 42 countries since 1979. The company is based in Durweston. Over the years our company has tried to export mirror mazes from southern England into Brazil (46% import duty) and India (37% import duty). Unsurprisingly, we sometimes could not compete on price in India, even though we have succeeded a few times. This is what makes the forthcoming trade deal with India negotiated by Liz Truss, our brilliant Minister for International Trade, so significant. For the past 45 years, there has never been a trade deal between India and the EU because of the French veto. Since January 2021 the way is clear to achieve a trade deal between India and the UK (population 68m) with protectionist tariffs removed. The Indian population is 1,366 million, of which about 300 million have as high a standard of living as the EU (population 380 million). India has been building typically 50 new airport runways a year, though perhaps not during the pandemic. It’s a nation on the move! We share many common values, of democracy, the English language, basis of English law, similar business approach, the principles of Free Speech and Habeus Corpus, railways, and longstanding historic, educational and cultural ties. The Pacific Rim contains many of the world’s fast-growing economies, with countries such as Singapore having a higher standard of living than the UK. The Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) has 11 member countries, representing 13.4% of world trade. Over the years, our maze company has exported to 9 of these: Australia, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Singapore, and Vietnam (but not yet Brunei and Peru). All the better once the UK has joined the CPTPP. In December 2020, the Taiwanese government stated that it would submit an application to join the CPTTP following the conclusion of informal consultations with its existing members. Under President Biden, it is likely that the USA will resume its membership. There is a real desire and enthusiasm in these countries to trade with the UK. Our exports in this region have ranged from projects at the Singapore Science Centre and Singapore Airport; at Tobu Zoo, Huis Ten Bosch Theme Park and the Tokyo Dome in Japan; a hedge maze in Mexico; landscape mazes in Australia and Canada; mirror mazes in Vietnam and Chile; two hedge mazes in South Korea; and puzzle exhibitions in New Zealand. Typically, the first sale in a new country triggers off further enquiries, and this is how we achieved seven mirror mazes in Japan and four in Mexico. With Zoom, it costs nothing to do business anywhere in the world. The UK Department for International Trade (UK DIT) is one of the finest organisations of its kind in the world. Contact them, and then start exporting worldwide!
