Construction Inflatables are excited to launch their new range of inflatable structures.  A revolutionary new option consisting of four key product lines which offer protection and a covered workspace specifically for the construction industry. Construction Inflatables believe the product is ideal for any building site environment, from full construction through to overnight retail shop-fit or residential alterations. They are fully reusable, with installation time from as little as ten minutes and the costs far outweighing those of constructing a similar sized enclosure from ‘hard’ materials. Mark Wadsworth, Director at Construction Inflatables comments “These structures encompass several common issues associated with construction sites and projects to develop a unique and inspiring solution. They have been a huge hit with Health & Safety advisors and consultants throughout the industry and recently picked up a ‘Highly Commended’ mention in the Mace 2015 “Safety First, Second Nature” Awards.” Their key range consists of a Cutting Station, Working Pod, Hoarding Wall and various sized domed structures and Air Roofs. As well as these options, the team are able to fully design and manufacture products which suit their client’s specific project needs. All units are flame resistant and ideal for both indoor and outdoor use. With limitless design possibilities, only restricted by the limit of an individual’s imagination, these products represent the next phase of national and international construction safety.

Managed Services was on hand to provide emergency support to customers dealing with the serious effects of adverse weather conditions over the Christmas period. Travis Perkins Managed Services provided emergency support to a number of housing associations over the Christmas period, helping repairs and maintenance teams to quickly respond to the impact of flooding. Managed Service colleagues across the UK donated their own time to customers affected by the adverse weather conditions that impacted parts of the UK end of December. Salix Homes, a housing association based in Salford, had 300 of its properties flooded and required immediate access to a range of repair materials. The store manager opened the housing association’s dedicated Managed Services store on the New Year Bank Holiday after an urgent call, whilst the team’s project manager was able to quickly source 150 dehumidifiers from stores in Yorkshire and Cumbria. Meanwhile, the Managed Services team in Gwynedd opened the dedicated store on three separate occasions over Christmas for housing association Cartrefi Cymunedol Gwynedd (CCG). The branch managers and project manager were on 24 hour call and opened the store on Boxing Day to provide CCG with FloodSax™. The next day, there were further flood warnings so Managed Services colleagues joined CCG in preparing 200 sandbags and sourced 53 buckets for the housing association. Finally, Managed Services and Wolverhampton Homes have partnered to help flood victims in York. A few team members from the housing association are volunteering their time to help with cleaning and clearing properties and Managed Services have donated a selection of materials, including mops, brooms and brushes. Stuart Hough, Managing Director at Managed Services, says: “A number of our customers fell victim to flooding over the Christmas period, but I’m proud to say that my colleagues pitched in to help wherever they could. Instant access to equipment and repair materials was crucial in helping housing association operatives to deal with flood damage quickly and efficiently. We’re always striving to make things easier for our customers – even if that means opening up on Christmas Day!”
