Coast to Coast Guest House, North Yorkshire for sale

I was in stunning North Yorkshire yesterday and booked on to the market with Ernest Wilson a quite stunning guesthouse which actually would be better described as a small boutique hotel. The five rooms are all unique with the attention to detail quite superb - it's even got a hot tub on the terrace!


The business and property are located on the Coast to Coat trail which is hugely popular with cyclists and walkers http://www.c2c-guide.co.uk/

Here's a brief snip it from one of the websites about the Coast to Coast...

Old route, new ways

If you want a leisurely few days and the BEST PLACES to EAT, SLEEP & DRINK, then you’ve come to the right place. The C2C might be tough, but you can do it with planning, even if you’re not quite up there with Bradley Wiggins. Speaking of whom, please note that we added a fabulous loop WIGGO’S WAY, from Penruddock to Stanhope, in honour of the great man last year and it is proving popular.
BUT If you want to do some serious road burning, read on. Check out the experiences of others, send in your own. Links to blogs are most welcome, as are your pictures. There’s technical help as well as restaurant tips.
And don’t forget to mention C2C Guide if you stay at the many places on our properly researched listings. We’ve been in business since the route opened in 1994, so we know what we’re talking about.
In addition to Wiggo’s Way we have also added a new section called the Weardale Alternative which will ease the pressure on the Rookhope to Allenheads section and now links Nenthead with Stanhope via St John’s Chapel on the A689. More information to follow.

Sounds good to me, I'll see if any of my Ernest Wilson colleagues fancy a bike trip!

Ernest Wilson Reviews - The Great Pension Change

This was an interesting piece which I thought I'd re-post as we wonder at Ernest Wilson what the impact on the new pension reforms will be.

It was spotted when the Yorkshire Post was delivered to the Ernest Wilson reception this morning http://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/business

As a society we are living longer, healthier lives. At the moment, there are currently four working people to every pensioner. By 2050 however, there will be just two. Millions of people are under-saving for their retirement, so the Government had to take steps to prevent the situation from getting any worse longer term. The aim of these measures is to help people save for their retirement and secure their future.

As part of these steps, Automatic Enrolment was introduced in 2012 and requires all employers to put certain staff into an approved pension scheme and make contributions. This started with the UK’s largest employers in 2012 and will be rolled out to everybody that employs at least one person by the Spring of 2018.

Automatic Enrolment means significant changes for many employers across the UK. All employers, no matter how small the business, will need to start preparing a workplace pension scheme if they haven’t already done so, though there is no need to panic.

The Government expects that up to 11 million people will be brought into workplace pensions by the year 2018 as a result of automatic enrolment. The latest research by the Department of Work and Pensions shows that this figure is well on its way to being reached and will 'transform the savings culture' of the UK.

The largest employers in the UK have already introduced workplace pensions, or are in the course of doing so. Now it’s the turn of small employers, and if you bear in mind that the majority of people in employment in the UK work for small organisations with 50 or less staff, you can see why it is crucial that small employers should get up to speed with what is happening.

Undoubtedly some may have fears that workplace pensions are all about red tape and extra costs. It cannot be denied that there will be forms to fill in, however these have been kept to a minimum and can mostly be done via the internet.

Any owner or director of a firm will know that a company pension, as workplace pensions are often known, is an expense that goes on the company accounts, so yes, there will be some extra costs for firms. That's the relatively bad news. The very good news is that anyone who wants one will now be able to get a workplace pension and that has to be a big positive for the working population and thus the UK economy as a whole.

If you are running a small organisation, be you a manager or director, then you should be making yourself aware of workplace pensions right now. Over the next few months The Pensions Regulator will be writing to all employers to tell them when their legal duties apply. Any employers who would like to find out their date sooner, can do so on The Pensions Regulator’s website. If for some reason you don’t meet your legal duties you will be in breach of the law.

The Pensions Regulator oversee and control the whole process of introducing and maintaining automatic enrolment in the UK. The Regulator provides a large amount of information to help employers meet their duties but also has extensive powers to compel employers to comply with the law if these duties are not met. There will be penalties, sometimes calculated on a daily basis, for employers who do not register a scheme or who fail to maintain one. The Pensions Regulator may even seek a criminal prosecution in cases of wilful non-compliance.

There is a lot of information available on the Pensions Regulator website, however if employers would like to get external advice then either an accountant, bookkeeper or independent financial adviser should be able to assist - many such professional firms have specially trained staff dealing with workplace pensions.

You can find out more at
www.thepensionsregulator.gov.uk. or at the official Government website www.gov.uk/workplacepensions.
Remember, the time for employers to act on workplace pensions is NOW

The firm, founded by Bradford City legend Bruce Bannister, is the leading specialist and fitness retailer in the UK and stocks more than 9,000 products.
It now focuses entirely on online sales after closing its centre centre shop on Hall Ings, Bradford, which was opened by Bruce in 1982.

He said: "We are delighted to be included.
"We are not in business to be on lists but it's nice to get some recognition.
"It is also good to see that a Bradford-based business is competing on a national scale.
"Hopefully this shows that we are doing the right things and businesses from around here are doing well.
"We are very proud to be a Bradford-based business. There has been some growth on our turnover of £33.4 million as well.
"We have grown considerably over the last three to five years. This means the good news has continued for us.
