Let's get down to North West business

Greetings . My name is Dave Lamb, and I am a 20 year old journalism student studying at the University of Central Lancashire. This blog is part of my course, or in other words, not exactly what I would write about if I had free roam. However, I will strive to ensure that this blog isn't entirely factually inaccurate, and occasionally mentions things other than the 'credit crunch'. Though like most people in the media today, I will almost certainly fail.

My blog will be looking mainly at business things happening in the North West, firstly because I am based in Preston, and secondly, because I have been told this is what I should write about.

So now you know a little bit about me and this blog, it's business time...
