Good News from Crest Nicholson

The good news continues to seep into the press releases for Crest Nicholson, which wants to report that their Annual Integrated Report for the time between 2015 and 2016 has shown a healthy rise in revenue for them. Indeed, the corporation indicates that there has been a 24 per cent rise in the amount of revenue that it has managed to acquire over the course of the last financial year. This is excellent news for a company that has consistently proven to be able to meet targets and to forge good relations with a varied and colorful client base, and the rise in revenue by almost a quarter on the previous year indicates that they have yet again pulled the rabbit out of the hat and that the hard work of the Crest Nicholson team has paid off. It is an even more impressive fact to consider that the company has also as a result of this managed to achieve a target of £1 billion generated through sales and this is one thing that all members of the company can be extremely proud of. The final report of the 2015-2016 financial year also indicates that the company consistently invests itself in its future, and has devoted over £1 million towards an apprenticeship scheme for young individuals wanting to start out in the industry. Considering that there is a reported major worry that there are just not enough opportunities for young people anymore, it is nice to see that a company like Crest Nicholson is showing that it cares about younger generations and wants them to develop a future for themselves by working for the company. It is equally clear that the company cares about where it settles as well, and the report indicates that it has committed up to £144.7 million towards aspects of social housing as well as infrastructure in those areas of the United Kingdom where it has operated.

Good News from Alumasc

A set of individuals dedicated to premium materials in the building and construction industry known as Alumasc (ALU.L) is very happy to declare the latest news on the contracts obtained by a company known as Levolux. This enterprise in the building and construction industry has enabled itself, based on Alumasc’s report dated 31st January of this year, to secure itself three new contractual deals that will enable it to be able to provide the various parties involved with the appropriate balcony as well as balustrade set ups in the country. What this essentially boils down to is that the company itself will benefit from an injection of £5 million into its accounts that will keep it in the clean for the next two years of business in the industry. This is a huge security measure that will help the company to invest in even more contractual agreements and deals with businesses and will also act as something to fall back on if times prove to be tough given the EU backlash to the referendum that seems to be becoming a more and more inevitable eventuality. This therefore indicates the meteoric rise in Alumasc’s  profit prospects and the company’s books have already increased in number of orders to a total of £32.9 million, which sets the company a new record that it has never achieved before now. This is therefore excellent news for Alumasc who have seen their revenues in the past few months increase by 17 per cent to a total of £50.7 million. All of these developments effectively indicate that the group itself is in fact far ahead compared in terms of its increased growth in profits as compared with the rest of market growth all around the United Kingdom and shows that Alumasc is outperforming its other peers in the building and construction sector, proving itself to be a prime example of how companies can do well in the industry and whose example ought to be followed, such as their ongoing commitment to growth and investment despite the warning clouds of Brexit.

Top Safety Features of Two Way Radio

The Construction (Design & Management) Regulations 2015 set out a long list of duties and responsibilities everyone involved in building design and construction has for upholding health and safety standards. What is not referred to explicitly is what to do when an accident takes place. Two way radio has long been used in construction to do the kinds of things the CDM calls for – namely, help people communicate effectively and coordinate efforts so everyone stays safe. But modern digital handheld radios offer much more, with a range of specialised features which provide additional security and peace of mind when operating on site. Emergency Button A core feature of standard models like the Motorola DP1400, an emergency button allows users to raise an alarm with a single touch. Alarms are broadcast to very radio in the network, increasing the likelihood of a fast response. Lone Worker This is a specialised monitoring feature which is intended to provide a safety net for individuals or small groups working away from colleagues. Once activated, the user has to check back in to the network at regular intervals, otherwise an alarm is raised. Man Down Man Down goes a step further than the one touch alarm of an Emergency Button, and will raise an alarm automatically if an unusual movement is detected such as a fall. This is a very useful feature for workers operating at height. GPS Best in class digital two way radio models like the Motorola DP4801 now regularly come with GPS enabled, meaning that when an alarm is raised, the location of the handset it was issued from can be pinpointed quickly.
