HMRC recently announced that the approved work mileage allowance for the first 10,000 business miles has increased from 45p to 55p per mile 🚗

For anyone regularly using their own vehicle for work, that could add up to a noticeable difference across the year.

But here’s another question…

How do you currently track your business mileage? 👀

A surprising number of business owners and team members could be missing out on tax relief simply because they’re not tracking journeys properly.

Find out what the changes could mean for you:

Yesterday we talked about the dangers of saying:

“We’ve always done it this way.”

And it reminded us of a book we used to give to customers from the GreenStones office library:

📘 Who Moved My Cheese? by Spencer Johnson

A brilliant little book about adapting to change and staying open-minded in business.

So, we’ve decided to give away 5 GreenStones stamped copies 👀

“We’ve always done it this way.”

Be honest… how often does that come up in your business?

It’s easy to stick with what’s familiar. But over time, those habits can slow things down more than you realise.

Better systems. Better tech. Better ways of working.

They’re all out there, but only if you’re willing to question what you’re doing now.

We’ve put together a short blog on why this mindset can hold businesses back.

And if this topic sounds familiar… keep an eye on our social media tomorrow 👀

“We’ve always done it this way.” It sounds harmless. But in business, that phrase can quietly become one of the biggest barriers for growth.

This Mental Health Awareness Week, we’re continuing the conversation around workplace wellbeing 💚

One of our team members, Julie, recently completed a two-day Mental Health course and shared some powerful insights about recognising the signs when someone may be struggling, listening without judgement and creating a more supportive workplace environment.

At GreenStones, we believe mental health matters and that even small actions — checking in with someone, listening properly, or encouraging breaks — can make a big difference.

Running a business can be brilliant.

But it can also be mentally draining.

Deadlines. Cash flow. Team issues. Customers. Endless decisions.

And most business owners we speak to quietly carry that pressure every day.

With Mental Health Awareness Week (11 to 17 May 2026) coming up, we’ve written a short blog about the mental load that often comes with running a business and a few simple ways to look after yourself and your team.
