Company Administration and BS5750 quality seminar and then watching England beat Hungary 3-0 as Chancellor Lawson promises to cut expenditure whilst shipbuilding contracts and BT management fail to get hired engineers past picket lines
Early to rise and to the office in good time to continue my work on company administration. This time preparing the last three years Company secretarial work on Comart Computers Ltd. Now I intend to use the company. A letter to the auditors to provide nil accounts and an overall plan of meetings and resolutions to complete the task. The mail and then to Wymondly near Hitchin and the Blakemore Hotel to a CBI conference organised jointly with the D of I and addressed to Chief Executives on the subject of Quality. Grants and consultancy are available to help us identify the work necessary and plot the course for certification to BS 5750, the new national quality standard. A very valuable event where I learnt a great deal.
Back to the office at 5.30 and there to find June has completed my draft document lists and company administration. An evening discussion with Ian Nickson over quality and upset by comments from service personnel out of the proper channel for communications. Then to check work presented and home for the England vs Hungary football international and a 3-0 victory.
The news tonight of the trial of the policeman who shot Waldorf and how he was plainly out of line. The Conservative Conference preoccupied with spending control presented by the hard line in the person of Nigel Lawson, the Chancellor. The voices of the wets were heard, however, in short speeches and fringe meetings. British Shipbuilders are planning more job cuts and contraction as British Telecom management was thwarted by alternative engineers refusing to cross the picket lines set out against privatisation. Thus is the strife of the moment as the economy refused to pick up and little prospect indeed of reductions in the unemployment rate.
Daniel brings home his bus-friend to tea tonight and a fine time they have with the computer games. Diana is impressed with his manners and in such company Daniel is a rough diamond. To bed on time against another busy day tomorrow of action and administration.
