I have just arrived back at Wolfstar HQ this morning and whilst running through my emails I felt I better write something about my relaxing week off. Last week, I decided to have some time off and take my wife and little boy away for the week. So we booked a trip to Hackness Grange in the Yorkshire Dales as it looked quite peaceful. It’s situated about 15 minutes drive from Scarborough in North Yorkshire and about 25 mins from Whitby. Unfortunately, we didn’t get brilliant weather all the time but we did get to enjoy some fantastic food, wine ... Read more

I know I write a lot about social media and public relations but I also have a huge interest in gadgets, football and lots of other topics, which you are already likely to know if you read my  other posts on the EFH Broadband blog or Wolfstar blog.

OK, I recently posted about my HP Laptop and promised to update you on any interesting escapades which occur whilst I try to get it repaired. Firstly, I would like to point out that my colleague Seb managed to send his ACER tablet off and have it back within four days.

So to ACER’s customer service team, I salute you for a brilliant repair job and excellent customer ... Read more

In my new role as social media coordinator for CIPR Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, I have advised that initially it creates an open Facebook group to share more information with its members and non-members. To be honest, it’s not the most exciting item of social media/group to look at just yet (we only have 12 members as I write) as we still need some good official CIPR content to be added but it’s a start and it’s an organic thing, which means we can all begin to post items and provide updates to each other. The group is open to anyone ... Read more

After much deliberating it seems I have to take my beloved HP laptop back to the shop. I currently use a HP Pavilion dv9000 and it was specifically chosen by us as its an award winning laptop with a lot of hidden added extras. As we (Wolfstar) work in social media it made sense to buy a laptop of good quality which could do several things. So we created a very specific brief as to what type of laptop we required. It had to have a decent processor, a webcam, remote control and of course be HD ready etc etc. ... Read more
