As most of our clients are in England and the USA, this weekend was not a good one for us from a football (or soccer if you prefer) perspective. The USA put up a brave fight against Ghana on Saturday night which is more than can be said for England yesterday against Germany.
I can’t take away all of the pain but I will do what I can to ensure that June has not been wasted. To this end, I am offering a 20% discount on almost all of Feechan Consulting’s services if paid for before the end of June.
That’s:
There’s still time to ensure that you remember June for something positive.
Glen’s backing the beard for England and Macmillan
By · Comments
Come on England!
Inspired by James Corden’s call on his World Cup Live programme to Back the Beard and not shave until England
return home from the World Cup, I thought I might be able to generate some money for a good cause, Macmillan Cancer Support.
I shaved, as I do every day on the morning of Saturday 12th June, prior to England’s first match and will not shave again until England are coming home. Hopefully after a victorious World Cup Final on the 11th July. I will be regularly updating my Twitter feed with updated photos of my increasing hairiness.
If you’d like to support this worthy cause, so that my hairiness is not in vain, please visit:

Canadian Helps UK Companies to Reduce Costs

Les Pynn
FC Procurement is pleased to announce the appointment of Les Pynn. FC Procurement saves companies money on their non-core overheads at no cost or risk to those companies.
Les will lead FC Procurement and build on its reputation in the marketplace of matching selected quality suppliers with clients to deliver the savings that make the transaction beneficial for all parties. Les brings significant financial and business experience to FC Procurement following his international career in Canada, the USA and Latin America and since relocating to the UK in 2001.
Les has spent most of his career in aerospace at Pratt & Whitney Canada and Rolls–Royce North America in the USA. He held leadership roles in many client facing business units and managed many companies in several Latin American countries for Carrier Corporation in Miami, Florida, USA.
As a former Finance Director, Les has first-hand experience dealing with cost reduction while maintaining quality, service and value for money.
“I have known Les for nine (9) years since he arrived in the UK” said Glen Feechan, Chief Executive, FC Procurement. “I am excited to work with Les and I am confident that his experience and drive will bring immediate benefits to FC Procurement and, in particular, to our clients.”
The world’s spreadsheets are built in County Durham
By · CommentsBirtley based Feechan Consulting Ltd has, in the first year of offering its Spreadsheets by Email service, developed a worldwide client base from Malta to Melbourne and Trinidad to Tallahassee.
The service allows businesses and individuals to have an Excel spreadsheet custom-built for a fixed price, by submitting their requirements on a simple web site. The spreadsheet can be as simple as a recipe cost calculator for a bakery to a complex marketing plan calculator or stock control spreadsheet.
Spreadsheets by Email was the brain-child of Glen Feechan, Chief Executive of Feechan Consulting.
“Back in March 2009, I had noticed the international traffic to my Not Just Numbers blog was growing but that it was impractical to offer them the on-site spreadsheet services I offer my UK clients. I immediately registered the domain name, www.spreadsheetsbyemail.biz and within a week had the website live and my first enquiry – from Zimbabwe!.”
The service is proving very successful in the UK too, but has also generated new clients across the USA and Canada as well as places as far-flung as Trinidad & Tobago, Australia and Iraq.
Nic Reid, President of SalesLabs Inc. in New York said of the spreadsheet he received, “It really is an elegant piece of work. Let me pay you the compliment – and I hope it will please you – that as a former Principal in Ernst & Young I can say with some authority that your mastery of these equations, your attention to customer quality, and the sheer competence you represent is well and truly world-class. In fact, you pulled off a job of coding that even the brightest in EY failed at. You are without peer, I really believe that. Thank you for a job well done. Now send me another invoice – you underquoted the quality, and deserve twice your original fee.”
If you need a spreadsheet for anything at all, just submit your details at http://www.spreadsheetsbyemail.biz and wait for your fixed price quote.
