Viewpoint Videos joins forces with Virgin start-up company

Viewpoint Videos is now working with Virgin’s latest start-up company for joint PR.

This PR collaboration is a huge opportunity for Viewpoint and the venue’s they work with. Over the next year, Viewpoint’s projects will feature in Branson’s blogs and social media posts to his 20 million followers in the UK and worldwide.

1,500th client for Aylesbury Notary

James Couzens, the Aylesbury-based notary public, has just signed the 1500th client since his practice was established in 2009. He has also re-launched his website, which now includes helpful explanatory videos about the different processes involved in a notary’s work.

If you don’t already know what a notary public is, perhaps you should (especially in the post-Brexit world), as you could be in need of their services at any time. Simply put, a notary is a specially trained legal expert who helps businesses trade overseas. The notary’s work involves verifying documents, facts and transactions - their independent certification and the notarial seal are accepted by authorities in most countries around the world.

James says: “I often see clients with unusual products or services and my 1,500th client is no exception, being a developer of specialist satellite data technology used to track maritime shipping. Based at Triangle Business Park, Stoke Mandeville, they needed to get company statements notarised to qualify for an EU tender. There are often short deadlines involved in business transactions so I see people not only in but also outside office hours and even at weekends if there’s an urgent need.”
