Enigin Advice - Save Energy use Your Own to get to Work

Enigin are in the business of saving energy, which then saves money and greenhouse gas emissions.

In line with that we do try to be energy efficient in our behaviour most of the time. The area where Enigin employees and directors struggle slightly is the use of cars.

With Enigin plc’s HQ in a generally rural area of the UK it is difficult to use public transport, with some employees traveling quite a few miles to reach the office and then home again.

Hybrid and electric cars are an option, but currently (sic) very expensive and with a ridiculously short range for electric motors.

So the other option, for quite a few, is riding a bike to work. This save energy, the environment and money - but how much money?

Transparency and Honesty the new Buzz Words?

From politician salaries, honest journalists through to calorie counts on menu items, “transparency” is a buzzword for many in government and business circles. Calls for transparency and honesty are ever increasing.

In business it is the same - honesty and opening up yourself for all to see, with the obvious necessity of certain factors and processors remaining private, is seen as the way ahead.

Enigin Distributors are always pleased when they come to the Enigin HQ in the UK, as they always wonder if they smart websites are actually all run by someone form their bedroom!

Enigin - Food glorious food

The recipe posted below sounds great - definately will be trying that one.

One great recipe book is a Jamie Oliver one, Ministry of Food. Amongst our friends it had become a must have recipe book. Especially for the men!

It is full of easy to cook recipes, especially for first time cooks. But they are also great recipes that taste wonderful. I would recommend to anyone, including those advanced and experienced cooks. It includes lots of sauces and easy to make suppers. But also very basic meals simply made easier.
