British Safety Council Gets Involved to Aiding Various Businesses

It is clearly more important than ever before that the British Safety Council gets involved and committed to aiding various businesses in construction on how they can improve their safety measures in the workplace. Having been in place for an impressive total of 60 years, the British Safety Council will deliver its event on the 22nd February of this year. Taking place over the course of half of a day, the event will feature various talks and speeches by leading professionals in the field that will range from members of the British Transport Police all the way to Olympic champions such as Nathan Douglas. It is evidently hoped that the site’s location next to Hilton Manchester in the Piccadilly area will act as a welcome reminder to businesses and individuals around the world that it is more important than ever for them to commit to installing health and safety measures. Indeed, with the hope that the event will be widely attended by members from all over the country, it is clear that the event is set to be a success and welcome news that the safety of businesses in the industry are being held in high regard. It is evidently clear that the British Safety Council is incredibly committed to ensuring and promoting the safety of individuals in the workplace all over the place. Through its investment in social media and concern for the promotion of such events as the Manchester conference, it is clear that the British Safety Council will consolidate its 60 years as one of the most dedicated services to enabling the security of workers all over the United Kingdom for the challenging years ahead that are to come. Indeed, it will be more vital than ever for them to do this what with the turbulence and civil unrest all over the country and the rest of the world today.

MEINHARDT UK TO PROVIDE STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING SERVICES ON BOUTIQUE HOTEL PROJECT IN LONDON’S SHOREDITCH

Multidisciplinary engineering and consultancy firm – Meinhardt UK have been commissioned by Blakes Hotel to assist in bringing one of the world’s most distinctive five-star boutique hotels to Shoreditch. In December 2016, the scheme’s architect Kyson won the go-ahead from Hackney Council to proceed with the development – work is now due to start on site early 2017 and to complete towards the end of 2018. Meinhardt’s London team will be responsible for the structural and MEP work on the project. We are delighted to have been appointed on this fascinating engineering project. Patrick Hayes, a Director at Meinhardt UK, comments: “We are delighted to have been appointed on this fascinating engineering project, which will completely transform the site and add impetus to Shoreditch’s rapidly developing skyline.” The site is in the London Borough of Hackney and occupies a large corner frontage to Corsham Street and Baches Street. It involves the demolition of the existing Satellite House – a former telecommunications centre and office block unused for 18 months – and the construction of the new eight-storey hotel. The 87-room boutique hotel will comprise three individual cubes that intersect to form a whole. The shape, composition and materiality of these relate each of them to different elements of the surrounding urban fabric, from the nearby traditional Victorian warehouses to the new 11-storey student accommodation block opposite. Building materials will be a mix of brick, concrete, steel and glass, creating an industrial aesthetic that ties in with the heritage of the area while maintaining a resolutely modern and minimalist approach.

Salary Earners to See Increase According to Worldwide Survey

Robert Walters, a surveyor that has been in operation conducting surveys around the world since the year 2000, has released figures this year that indicate that the salary earners working in the field of mid-level supplies will go up by a very significant 11 per cent. This is without a doubt a very welcome piece of news to salary earners in this bracket of the work industry as it contrasts greatly to the mere 4 per cent average rise in the salaries of people in other senior positions in work. This evidence is clearly a sunnier alternative to the gloomy news and prospects that have been put in place as a result of fluctuating economies, the EU referendum and the surprising election results in the United States. This is clearly an encouraging sign to employers in the field who will want to encourage the popularity of the profession, and it is clear that the amount of applicants for positions in this sector is consistently high, due to the lucrative salary schemes available. In addition to this, members employed in the contract acquisition sector will see their annual salaries also rise, to slightly less impressive degrees, to a total of 8 per cent. As Mister Neil Morgan of the managing team of Robert Walters explains, it is evident that this strengthening of salary growth is a good sign for the contracting industry and a sign that there will still be a large demand for such senior positions in the years to come. Such skills as time management and an ability to multitask and juggle a number of different duties are essential to the job description of these senior roles in the business, and these are skills at least that will not be in shortage among those members of the British population wanting to get their foot in the senior careers door. And with an 11 per cent increase, who wouldn’t want to give it a go at some point in their life?
