Simply put, Hull is no longer a fishing port
BANK SWITCH WAS SO SIMPLE THAT BUSY BOSS CHANGED BOTH HIS ACCOUNTS
IT was a fair comment made by the Lib-dem member, but the reality is for more than a hundred people with a possibility of losing their jobs, I really don’t think the Government are too interested.
Simply, Hull is no longer a fishing port. We have the Kirkella, which lands its catch anywhere
(also I believe the two skippers on board are certainly not local people).
The truth is, in the 70s when the Government and the Hull trawler owners got together and decided to de-commission the full fishing fleet, which involved thousands of people losing their jobs, all parties were blaming each other.
i.e. Icelandic cod wars and limits, conservation areas etc, and nothing was said.
Do you really think you will get a positive result now ?
Sorry, I am afraid that you won’t.
Plus the scenarios with the small fishing vessels down south, in the
Cornwall area, which are also in a bad situation.
I really know how the crew of the Kirkella feel as I was one of the thousands who had to look for other work thanks to the Government and the fishing owners.

STAY INFORMED
BUSINESSMAN Mike Page knew he’d get better value out of his company account by changing banks – but he fretted that the challenges of the pandemic would slow the switch down.
“I wanted to be sure that it wasn’t going to take too long,” remembers Mike. “That was my main concern.”
Mike needn’t have worried. Changing to a new business current account was so simple and quick he moved his personal account as well.
The speed of the process, with the Current Account Switch Service, was particularly handy for Mike: as the very busy boss of start-up business T&T Eco, which sells ecological cleaning products, he didn’t have much time to spend away from working to meet rising demand as a result of the Covid-19 outbreak.
But Mike was eager to make the change, as he hadn’t been happy with the services and charges at his previous bank.
“It was the simplest thing ever really,” explains Mike. “Everything can be transferred without any action from you and it’s very easy to check.
“I spoke to the bank about my concerns over the fallout from Covid-19 slowing down the switching process. But they reassured me that this wouldn’t be an issue because all the transactions are done online – they don’t require any human engagement or faceto-face discussion.”
GETTING THE BEST DEAL
Many company owners may think that this is not a good time to be giving themselves extra admin. But Mike says that changing accounts required a minimum of effort from him and meant he could quickly move to a bank that was better suited to his needs.
“I think it’s absolutely everybody’s priority and responsibility to look at getting the best deal and service out of a bank that they can,” says Mike. “And the switch service is so tried and tested that there should be no concerns.”
The Current Account Switch
Guarantee also means moving accounts is easy to do and will be completed in just seven working days.
After all, everyone needs the best value from their account just now but – like Mike nobody wants any extra stress.
