The BBC’s much criticised spending on corporate hospitality over the years is under scrutiny this week as they seek to meet a £140M shortfall over the next five years due to the economic downturn, staff have been told.

The BBC have revealed plans to sell off buildings within the corporation such as the BBC Television Centre is West london along with corporate hospitality spending at such events as Wimbledon and the FA Cup. On Wednesday the directory general, Mark Thompson sent out a direct email to all BBC employees claiming the current financial crisis is forcing the BBC to make some drastic changes to company budget. BBC Christmas parties have also been axed this year.

Thompson stated that “We have already undertaken some day-to-day cut back such as new policies on the corporate use of taxis, limits on entertaining, attendance at award ceremonies and conferences.” Corporate hospitality is an important part of any business but this year they will significantly reduce their spending on this area.

I say cut Jonathan Ross out of the BBC and you have your problem solved!??

I have never been to London before. I am originally from Italy and decided to take a trip over to London with my girlfriend and explore the massive city of London. It was my first time in UK and London was just so overwheleming, it is so big! Me and my girlfriend managed to find a great way to see lots and lots of London super quick…the thames clippers are really comfortable high speed boats that go up and down the Thames. You get to see all sorts of sights such as the London bridge and the houses of parliament! The boats are mainly used for corporate hospitality but we found some that are just for tourists!

we got to see alot of London in absolutely no time at all! I would highly recommend this easy way of getting around London. It saves time and guarantees the fact that you will see some great sights in this massive city!
