The move comes as Flybe announced disappointing financial results this morning on the Stock Exchange.

All Exeter-based SMEs need to operate resourcefully to prevent wasted effort and lost resources.
Here are four quick ideas on how to create a more efficient office.
1. Get the Office Cleaned
Office cleaning is often assigned to the person lowest on the totem pole. This is demoralising for the person whose responsibility it is.
