If you’re trading with Singapore, it’s worth having a cost-effective and reliable international conference call provider – so here’s how to set up a call in a few simple steps…

It seems hard to believe now, but up until a few years ago UK employees only had the right to request flexible working if there were a registered carer, had children under the age of 17, or children under the age of 18 with a registered disability.

But all that changed on June 30, 2014 when the UK’s Flexible Working Regulations were amended to allow anyone the right to request flexible working, so long as they have been with their employer for at least six months.

It looks like post-pandemic flexible working is here to stay – ONS figures show that more than 8 in 10 workers who had to work from home during the coronavirus pandemic said they planned to hybrid work. If you’re considering putting in a work from home request, here’s all you need to know.

Portugal was one of pioneers of Europe’s exploration of the world in the 15th century, and although it has a long history of foreign trade, it is no longer the superpower it once was.

Although there’s no time difference with the UK, the Portuguese capital, Lisbon, sits some 1,300 miles almost directly south of London and is around a two-and-a-half hour flight away – so a conference call is probably the most straightforward and certainly the most cost-effective way to stay in touch.

And here’s how to set up a conference call between UK and Portugal in just a few simple steps…

British exports to Poland tripled over the last decade and Poland has a larger trade surplus with Britain than with any other country. Although Brexit could have serious implications on trade, if you’re already trading over there then you won’t want to sever ties, if possible.

It’s hardly practical to commute to and from Poland to stay in touch with contacts, and  a teleconference – or conference call – is a practical and cost-effective way to do so. Here’s how to set up a conference call using nothing more than a landline or mobile phone.

Norway is the fourth largest country in Europe and although not a part of the European Union (EU), it  is a member of the European Economic Area (EEA) and does adhere to the same trading code practice as the EU.

Although Norway has a population of just 5 million, it is one of the world’s wealthiest nations, per captia, and its economy has remained stable throughout the economic crisis.

Offshore oil and gas is responsible for about 25% of value creation in Norway, with crude oil, natural gas and electricity account for about 65% of all exports.

As far as exports to Norway go, it is the UK’s 24th largest market – the market worth £3.5billion last year – and most common exports include: chemicals, machinery, medicines, petroleum products, as well as animal and vegetable bi-products.

Whatever your business though, if you export to Norway, or have any business interests out there, a conference call offers an easy and cost effective way to keep in touch, needing nothing more than a landline or mobile phone.

The UK and the Netherlands have many ties – over 40 Dutch towns and cities are twinned with British towns and cities and, historically, both are maritime countries that have relied heavily on trade.

And if you take a long haul flight to almost anywhere in the world, there’s a chance you could go via Schipol airport – the fourth busiest passenger airport in Europe.

If you can’t make the flight over there though, why not set up a teleconference, or conference call, to keep in touch with colleagues, friends or clients in the Netherlands?

It’s not only cost-effective, it’s convenient – requiring nothing more than a landline or mobile phone.
