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).

“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.
