Aqua Express Ltd - www.aquaexpress.co.uk
Aqua Express supply us with the water we offer to our clients when we're meeting with them and also, it's what we use to keep our brains active and creative while we're working on our clients' projects. There really isn't anything easier and better after you've had your 5th coffee of the day. What's great about Aqua Express is that you can get a delivery next day if you forget to do your usual weekly order - and if you're lucky, within a few hours if you - like them - are based in Glasgow. Can't recommend them highly enough.
Their water comes from Lanarkshire so it's soft, and local and from a sustainable source. How much better can it get!
A great new retailer in Glasgow set to provide more choice in the east of the City
operated by people who care about their customers.
You need to go along to check it out and take the kids - they will absolutely adore the terrapins. I did.
There's parking nearby and you can often get stopped on Cumbernauld Road long enough to have a good look round. Ask for John or Chris and tell them I sent you.

This is a brilliant wee company that does actually do what its name suggests – gives you clear sight.

She knows some great IT suppliers – that’s how we got in touch with fuzzylime. Her blog is a great way of keeping informed too.

This is a specialist discount stationer based in Glasgow City Centre. They've been brilliant for us in getting the things we need fast and at a really good price.

The Revenue’s website is a vast beast which comes in handy for quick and simple fact-based questions like how and when do I pay my tax bill. It is not as good when it comes to asking “what if ….?” questions. It will tell you what the law says and how HMRC interprets it and what it’s internal practices are, but if you’re looking for a solution to a problem, this is not really the place to be going!
ACCA is the largest global accountancy body no matter how you measure it. It is also John’s professional body. You can access financial news on the site, what different accounting terms refer to – though in accountants language mostly – and information about the association.
