Promoting Money Skills to Students

This brochure was part of a pack introducing Barclays Money Skills weeks to colleges Promoting financial awareness to students may not be the easiest task in the world, but now more than ever, it’s essential that students stand on their own two feet financially, and understand the implications of their financial decisions. Adding expensive overdrafts to a debt mountain of loans may feel like something to be worried about later, but debt can add up to a big burden for later life, or worse, if spending and debt get out of control.

Full marks then, to Barclays for extending its already huge and wide-reaching Money Skills programme - a programme designed to educate the underpriviledged and the needy about financial management – into colleges, to help their students.

Student life can be stressful enough without money worries, and out of control debt can have a marked impact on health, on the ability to study effectively, and most important of all on college drop-out rates. Barclays Money Skills weeks provide important lessons, for student life and for the life of work that follows.

Wild West are helping Barclays promote their Money Skills programme and in particular their Money Skills weeks, through promotional work like that illustrated here.

Financial Deal Reports – Now for Silverfleet

Published on October 20, 2010 in Corporate, Finance and investment and International. 0 Comments Tags: deal reports, european, exit, Histoire d'Or, investment, private equity, Silverfleet Capital.

Silverfleet Capital successfully exits Histoire d'Or: the subject of their most recent deal report.

Deal reports are part of the essential landscape of investment companies – a key part of the communications landscape. They are essentially simple documents that keep shareholders, investors, the press, analysts and others in the loop with what a company does and how it is succeeding.

As such, they need to be well-designed, clear and factual, and of course, accurate too!

Silverfleet is a new addition to our client list. We’re very pleased to be working on research reports, web site, and branding projects for them, and of course, we are designing and producing their deal reports too.

This deal report on French jewellery company Histoire d’Or is produced in three languages – French, German and English, reflecting the European basis of the Silverfleet company and its investment portfolio.

Hatton Grange is the creation of Hector Macandrew and his partner Simon Mellor. The company – a very specialist provider of services to investors and entrepreneurs in the media and technology sectors – launched last week with its bright, confident new logo, and a new website too, which you can reach at www.hattongrange.co.uk. Both were designed by WildWest.

Hatton Grange partners with entrepreneurs and investors by building networks in their chosen sectors, advising on transactions, providing executive search and consultancy services to their portfolio companies, and originating deals.

The company also supports senior managers (executive and non-executive) in their search for venture capital and private equity backed opportunities.

In a market where specific expertise, experience or knowledge can sometimes be the key to unlocking multi-million pound opportunities, we’re sure that Hatton Grange has a big future in front of it, and we look forward to supporting the company’s aspirations and growth over the coming years.
