Want to understand your company finances, but you aren’t an accountant?
Successful managers need to have a basic understanding of finance and budgets, which in turn will lead to better business decisions. Recent research shows that financial results are the principle concerns for managers in today’s competitive workplace. Surprisingly, only half of all managers have the organisation’s bottom line as a main focus.
By understanding how to read and use financial information on a day-to-day basis will give you the control you need to stay on top of your company finances, ensuring that your business remains profitable and successful.
With a string of top 40 hit singles and albums in the 1990s, My Life Story received huge critical acclaim with their brand of epic, orchestral pop, leading many artists of the Britpop era to feature them on their records. One of our most colourful lyricists, is how Steve Lamaq described charismatic frontman Jake Shillingford, famous for his sharp tongue and even sharper suits.
Now, MLS have become a hugely popular, tight live act on the wave of the 90s revival. Their high-energy set includes singalong favourites 12 Reasons Why I Love Her, Strumpet, Sparkle and The King of Kissingdom. Taking a break from writing film and TV scores, Jake and the band have recently crowd-funded their fourth studio album, the first in nearly two decades, which is due for release on 2nd August 2019.
“Jake Shillingford [took] to the stage like a true star. Part Jagger, part Jarvis, he kicked, star-jumped and fell to the floor in mesmerising fashion. “You’re left with no doubt that My Life Story are one of the decade’s forgotten heroes and asking ‘why were they not massive?'”

PREVIEW: WELLBEING THROUGH WORKING LIFE
For many of us, our satisfaction with life declines from our late teens until our mid-40s and then starts increasing again as we approach our late 60s – a pattern that suggests our lowest wellbeing happens during our working lives. Is this pattern inevitable? A team of researchers at the University of East Anglia together with researchers at the Universities of Essex, Reading and Sheffield have spent the past three years investigating the actions that can protect and enhance wellbeing looking at wellbeing in working age adults. Join us for this talk to find out more, and if you would like to submit a question in advance for Prof Kevin Daniels and Prof Olga Tregaskis, please email [email protected]
