Co law changes

[Mustang]

Have people taken any action regarding the changes in Company law?

“E-mail communications, faxes and company websites must now state company information that up to January 1 has only been required on hard copy correspondence and order forms."

I guess I need to update my email signature.......!!

what do you mean by company information ??
do you mean company reg no and its registered address ??

[Mustang]

That's what I understand it to be. See article on CUK.

I've just had a go at Vigin Media because their website does not comply. They say that they don't know about this regulation.

That's a bit anal isn't it?

I received a "spam" fax about this a few weeks ago.. checked with Trading Standards & Business Link... They didn't know anything either.

Big question is regarding agencies - when one responds to a entry on for example jobserve, by email, sending one's CV to the agency, is this deemed to be personal (it's my CV, not the companies) or business, in which case should the CV not be the companies CV, excluding anything about me personally)?

I accept that once the contract is awarded, it is the company which works with the agency, discussing terms etc, and these are obviously "Business emails".

Nop. I was just p1ssed off with the lack of contact info on their website.

I hate to sound smug, but I've been doing this for at least two years. My e-mails also have a disclaimer which I appropriated from a 'corporates' e-mail signature.

My emails have always had a disclaimer too. Have now updated them to have the Co bits.
