Employers are facing calls to improve staff training to prevent the country's skills base from declining. It comes after a study by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) and KPMG suggested one in ten employers was planning to outsource jobs overseas in the next year. The move has been blamed on the Government's immigration cap, which is due to be introduced next April, combined with what firms described as a decline in the skills of British graduates and school-leavers. The study showed companies were looking to export call-centre, IT and finance work, with two-thirds of firms outsourcing work to India, a third to China and three out of ten to eastern Europe.

Philip Leonard Rule It is with great regret and sadness that we must report the death of Philip Rule aged 74. Philip founded Safe in 1975 and was active in the business up until 2001. He remained a valued member of the Board of Directors up until his death. Our sympathies go out to his wife Patricia, sons Simon, Duncan, Marcus and Jonathan and all those who knew and loved him. His funeral takes place on the morning of Friday 13 August 2010 and although the office will be open as normal a number of staff members will be in attendance. We have taken steps to ensure that all major services will be covered but please be understanding if things do take us a little longer to deal with at this difficult time.
