BrightVisions have been short listed for two Business Awards this year! Alex Foster, Director of IT at BrightVisions, has been nominated and short-listed for the Employee of the Year Award and the BrightVisions website has been short-listed for the Business Website of the Year Award.

BrightVisions members of staff are excited to see Alex and their website recognised and are proud that BrightVisions have been short-listed for two of the nine corporate categories contested at this year's Hunts Post Business Awards.

Irene Haslem's (EPA for BrightVisions) comment that "to have reached the finals,  in both categories – Website and Employee - is a great achievement for everyone at BV and I feel we should consider it as a tremendous pat on the back for each and everyone of us" reflects the level of pride the BrightVisions team feels having been nominated.

The 14-strong panel of judges are in the process of visiting each of the short-listed nominees selected to decide who should emerge as winner of each of the awards.

BrightVisions will of course be attending the Award Ceremony being held on the 6th November 2009 and will be looking forward to the final results!

East Anglia's Childrens Hospices (each) offer a range of services to support children (and their families) who have life-limiting or life-threatening conditions.

BrightVisions have made each the main charity they support, with financial contributions and in other ways where possible.

SPAM mail and email spoofing is affecting more businesses than ever, often making email accounts unusable.

“There has been a sharp increase in the number of businesses seeking help after discovering that their inboxes are flooded with ‘Undeliverable Mail Returned to Sender’ emails,” says Alex Foster, Lead Technical Consultant of BrightVisions.

You have probably seen an increase in the amount of Junk Mail that arrives in your inbox, along with the rest of us. Junk Mail or SPAM has now become more than a nuisance, affecting the productivity of millions of employees, and possibly allowing internet fraudsters access to your computer (via Computer Viruses embedded in emails) or to your bank account.

There is now a new service available to protect against unwanted and malicious emails. ManagedSPAM is a hosted Anti-SPAM and Anti-Virus Solution which stops just about all SPAM and e-mailed viruses in their tracks, without compromising the performance, connection speeds or security of the end-user.
