Google to pass Digital Service Tax back to customers

2% Google advertising increase in UK from 1st November

Wash and Brush Up for Bournemouth Avionics

After 4 years, the Bournemouth Avionics website was in need of a bit of a tidy up, and a bit of re-modelling, which has just been completed.

When originally conceived and built, the site was mainly focused on the 'services' aspect of the business: avionics sales, installation and service; aircraft engineering, maintenance, and storage. The then new online store selling avionics and accessories was secondary to these services.
