The True Meaning of Work: Lessons from Italy
22nd May 2015
- Duncan Chamberlain
I was sitting in a vibrant Milanese coffee shop a few months ago with three Italian university students – they were sparky, enthusiastic, effective communicators and they had a really good business idea (a music based product – very clever).

Work & Economic Independence: A practical view
20th May 2015
Perhaps for too long economic independence has seemed a distant, intangible concept far removed from the everyday lives of most of the population. Yet to achieve economic independence on an individual, community, regional and national scale is one of the key graduations of life: the daughter or son who moves from economic dependency on their parents to economic independence offers the individual growth, freedom, choice, confidence, self esteem and has knock on effects for the community in which the individual lives.

The True Meaning of Work: A View from Impact Hub Birmingham
19th May 2015
The true meaning of work, for many, is no longer about employment and career progression – aspirations have moved on from six figure salaries and rising to the top.

Placing the UK at the heart of the fintech revolution
13th May 2015

The answer to our energy problems? The “off the grid economy”
4th May 2015
The near inexorable rise in UK energy prices over the past five years has made energy policy a topical electoral battleground for next month’s General Elections. But unsustainable energy prices reflect not just inadequate policy, but the need to re-think our entire energy model.

Creating energy efficient homes in the UK – The East 7 Community Green Dividend
1st May 2015
The UK’s housing stock is some of the least energy efficient in Europe, with energy waste accounting for 15% of the UK’s carbon dioxide emissions in September 2014. While energy inefficiency has clear environmental implications, it is also hurting UK consumers with the current average dual-fuel bill set to rise above £1,264 per year.

Building the right homes, in the right places, for the right people
29th April 2015

Cancer – a rare area of political convergence?
24th April 2015
