Fitting into Howies

The latest catalogue from Howies is now out, and it's got an article in it by me. Which I'm quite pleased about.

In case you don't know, Howies is a small but rapidly growing clothing company for terribly hip people who ride skateboards and snowboards and cycle off on camping expeditions in the Cairngorms.

I don't do any of those things, although I'm sure I should. But I do share Howies' belief that business can do more than simply make money for itself. They have a commitment to the environment, and to ethical behaviour in general, that I warm to as much as I do to their excellent clothes. Click below for a read of my article, and why not buy a T-shirt while you're at it?

"We are a company"

This month has seen a metamorphosis in the Reed household. I have become a limited company: Reed Words Ltd. My accountant tells me it's the right move, and I never argue with accountants.

Beyond the financial benefits, and the fact that I get to play at being a corporate identity designer once again (which I always enjoy), this change of status won't actually have any bearing on the day-to-day. It's still just me, and I promise not to use it as an excuse to put my rates up.
