      <title>Bit of Business :)</title>
      <description>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The pickup from yesterday went pretty well, if you don&amp;#39;t get count getting stuck in traffic in Doncaster for a while :(.&amp;nbsp;Ellie Purnell&amp;nbsp;,Tom Dimelow and Tom Ward went over to Doncaster and eventually got there but we did have a problem with Tom who was reading the wrong directions (Aren&amp;#39;t men are suppose to be good a map reading!?) We picked up lots of new Equipment Monitors , computers etc.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Also Ellie had her first installation of a customer&amp;#39;s pc out of the workshop! And got tipped &amp;pound;10! Kerching :)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

      <title>Recycling Why Do it?!</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Did you know!?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Two million working Pentium PCs end up in landfill sites in the&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;UK&lt;/strong&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;every year.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nevermind all the others such as AMD Pc&amp;#39;s!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Computers are a main contributor to electronic waste (e-waste), which pose a  major disposal issue because they are made up of various components that are  toxic to the environment.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The Institute for Local Self-Reliance estimates that 75 percent of obsolete  electronics are currently being stored, which will one day result in a massive  disposal issue for the country and the world.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Thats why Livetech business idea came from!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;You may think your old computer is a pile of rubbish, but instead of throwing away and make more hassle on the environment. Why don&amp;#39;t you recycle it!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Our Aim of our business is to train new people and get them into IT (One of the biggest growing industries there is)through apprenticeships sending IT equipment to us we are able to teach,learn and fund this. Also we do administrator apprenticeships.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Many people don&amp;#39;t want to spend hundreds of pounds on new flash computer! (Like us silly numptys at Livetech) as we&amp;#39;ve found by our customers they either want a computer to just use course work and use the email. Starting at around &amp;pound;20 you can get a computer what does all this, saving you a fortune.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;strong&gt;So in the end everyones happy! Its like a big circle &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Recycling &amp;gt;&amp;gt; New apprentice&amp;#39;s &amp;gt;&amp;gt; Selling Pc&amp;#39;s &amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;nbsp; Cheap Services &amp;gt;&amp;gt; More apprentices!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
