Client news
Petit
Miracles
are launching a new hub space in Shepherds Bush, offering entrepreneurs
affordable collaborative retail space & business support to help the
members to scale.
If your
organisation is looking to step into retail express interest on their website.
Preownsoft
Ltd is a
specialist broker of preowned software licenses.
Two years ago the European Court of Justice (ECoJ) ruled that the 1st
sale doctrine is exhausted once a software company sells a perpetual
license to a customer. Consequently, any company based in the EU can
legally sell their unused licenses, or buy preowned rather than new.
Preownsoft Ltd connect buyers with
sellers and facilitates the transfer of ownership between the two, taking
a small commission from the seller. Any Public or Private
organisation within the EU can either sell their unused licenses
(shelfware) or buy second-hand licenses at a discount of between 30-70%
over new licenses (depending on the software in question).
Red Ochre News
“The best experience of my
life”….two years of GET Seville ends
As part of our
Green Experience and Training (GET) Seville programme, from July
2013-July 2014 we placed another 30 young people in all expenses paid, 13
week long internships in green businesses and community organisations in
Seville, Spain.
Following an
evaluation of the programme, the funder and National Agency for Leonardo,
Ecorys gave us an overall rating of ‘Very Good’.
The young people
said:
"... the
best experience of my life", "Fantastic programme! Keep it up
as long as possible!", "I don't know how the programme can
improve".
We are now
developing Erasmus+ programmes in Spain and elsewhere. If you are
interested in partnering or finding out more please contact Martin Cooper.
