Salix Homes has been recognised for their financial capabilities by receiving a top award. The Finance Team of Salix Homes was announced s the joint winner for the Finance Team of the Year in the small to medium organisation category other Housing Association National Accountancy. Salix Homes has won a number of different awards since its launch in 2007. The housing association started off all that time ago as an arms length management organisation that had been set up to operate on behalf of Salford City Council. The company is planning to invest £75 million into homes and communities in Salford between 2015 and 2020 in order to make sure that all of the properties managed by the housing association meets the Government’s Decent Homes standard. The prestigious awards scheme has recognised the Salford based housing provider by giving them this award. This Finance Team of the Year award has been given to Salix only two years after Salix had become the most popular and well thought of housing association. This title has come after more than 8,300 homes from Salford and Salford Council were transferred to Salix Homes after a vote from tenants. This great news for the company is another addition to their impressive reputation and will benefit them going forward. The Executive Director of Resources at Salix Homes, Simon Morris said that they were surprised to even be announced on the shortlist of the Housing Association National Accountancy awards, so to win this accolade must have come as a real show. However the receipt of this award is a reflection of the hard work that the finance team at Salix Homes puts in to make sure that the housing association is running as well as possible. The 2017 edition of the Housing Association National Accountancy Awards was the fifth time this ceremony has been held. The Awards are organised by the National Housing Federation and looks to recognise and showcase the individuals and organisations in the finance industry that work hard to make a beneficial impact.
Versanta, the global events and media experts, are asking those who are involved in the construction industry to enjoy some time on their fairways in order to fundraise. The media company are making this request as part of a fundraising campaign for a construction charity. CRASH is a construction industry charity, and a worthy cause, that works to provide practical assistance for homeless and hospice charities as they undertake construction related projects. The invitation to the golf course is expected to become an annual event to raise money for charity. The event this year will be held at the famous PGA Professional Golf Course, The Belfry in Sutton Caulfield. This is also a perfect experience for fans of the sport to enjoy a round on the world famous course and walk in the footsteps of their favourite players. This event is bound to be a success and with the possibility of other, equally as well known venues as the event gains more success, all the while raising money for a terrific cause. CRASH offers free of charge professional advice and expertise to other charities that require construction assistance as well as giving cash grants for construction projects that are being carried out by homeless and hospice charities. CRASH has also been involved in the construction of environments that are beneficial to the inhabitants wellbeings, something that can have a massive impact on those who have been vulnerable, sick, and homeless as well as those who care for them. As part of the fundraising event, the golfers will also be treated to a sportsman’s dinner where they will enjoy a three course meal and being able to hear from a sporting legend. With CRASH being such a unique and practical charity, working to provide construction assistance to other charities, they are an ideal candidate for fundraising support. Versanta have also announced that as part of the event that they will be covering all costs of the event, meaning that 100% of the donations made as part of the event, via sponsorship or through cash will go straight to the charity.
The latest version of Makita’s compact but powerful 7.2v pencil drill driver and impact driver have a host of enhanced features – more rpm, more tightening torque and enhanced controls. These pencil screwdrivers weigh just over half a kilo and can be used in either pistol grip mode or as “in-line long handle” powered screwdrivers. The impact driver is particularly popular for light installation work such as bathrooms or kitchens whilst also being chosen for the manufacturing and assembly of white goods and electronic devices. Impact driver runs up to 2,450rpm with 25Nm of torque New 1.5Ah batteries for longer runtime Drill driver has 2-speeds and up to 5.6 Nm of tightening torque The new Makita TD022DSE 7.2v pencil impact driver will now run up to 2,450rpm, deliver up to 3,000 impacts per minute and generate 25Nm of tightening torque, which is sufficient to drive home a M8 standard bolt or machine screw. A new rotary switch conveniently placed on the motor body selects forward variable speed and reverse rotation. The Makita DF012DSE pencil drill driver has two speed ranges, up to 650rpm with a maximum 3.6Nm of tightening torque on high speed and on low speed up to 200rpm, that can deliver 5.6Nm of torque. With 21 + drill settings selected by the rotating collar on the chuck housing, this ¼” hex drive drill will drive a 5mm hole in steel and 6mm in timber. This high torque accuracy is protected by two auto-stop functions. Low battery power is indicated by a lamp and when this reduces further the motor automatically stops to prevent incomplete fastening. Additionally, when the drive achieves the set torque fastening the clutch is disengaged and drive stops. Both pencil drivers feature LED job light, ergonomic soft-grip handle and the new 1.5Ah batteries. For more news and product information about Makita UK please visit www.makitauk.com.
