The toast of Toontown

Article Abstract:

British animators excel in their field yet they still find it difficult to get finance for their projects. Aardman Animations, which made the Wallace and Gromit films, struggles to get investors to support new projects. The British Broadcasting Corporation will only give about 10% of the costs if it commissions a project. Animation company has to find the rest of the capital, and as a 45 second animated film can cost 75,000 pounds sterling, this presents considerable problems to animators. Money from the National Lottery may be available, and joining forces with European animators may also be helpful.

The sticky side of red tape

Article Abstract:

Many small and medium-sized companies in the UK are finding it extremely difficult to adapt to new regulations issued by the government and the European Union. Some observers believe that there will be fewer European Union regulations as the single market nears completion, but others dispute this view. In many cases, regulations create problems because small firms have not organized themselves in a way that allows them to deal with regulations. If a small number of basic procedures are implemented, then dealing with regulations becomes a lot easier.

Back and blue: Falmer jeans are back. And this time , it's for keeps, according to the company's chief executive

Article Abstract:

Chief executive of Falmer Jeanswear Chris Howell is hoping that the advertising campaign for its jeans will help boost the company's share in the men's jeans market. Its share was devastated in the 1990s due to a poor business strategy and US competition, and Howell will have to overcome nearly 10 years of decline and poor management. He has brought in a new design agency to re-brand the company and remove the rather dated image, and is seeking to keep the brand name highly regarded, seeking retailers who are interest in more than personal gain.
