The second phase of developer Jaynic’s Suffolk Park in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, has secured detailed planning consent from West Suffolk Council. The second phase of warehouse units at the 114-acre scheme totals 367,000 sq ft in four units of 37,000 sq ft, 80,000 sq ft, 100,000 sq ft and 150,000 sq ft, respectively. Jaynic has outline consent for up to 2 million sq ft of business, distribution and industrial space at the scheme The first phase saw the development of speculative two warehouse units totalling 357,000 sq ft. The 147,000 sq ft building was successfully let to Unipart acting as the provider for the NHS Supply Chain last Summer, and it is in detailed negotiations with occupiers on its second 206,000 sq ft unit. Ben Oughton, Jaynic development director, said: “Despite the current health crisis there is strong evidence that there is still significant demand for well-located logistics warehouses. We felt that as the first phase is proving successful with Unipart taking the first unit and the current strong demand for the second unit the time was right to go ahead with a further second phase of speculative units.” Suffolk Park is located immediately adjacent to the A14 trunk road providing a fast transport link from the east coast ports through East Anglia and into the national motorway network. A recent report from Savills on big shed supply highlighted the lack of new speculative units in East Anglia. At the time the report commented that: “there are no speculative units scheduled for delivery in 2019” and pointed out that the first phase of units at Suffolk Park units were the first speculative warehouses to be delivered in the region for over a decade. Encouraged by this Jaynic has gained planning consent for this second phase. Letting agents are Hazells Chartered Surveyors, Bidwells and Savills
Leading engineering services sector bodies BESA and ECA have jointly developed two new guides to help contractors to manage coronavirus-related issues on site. The new guides will be freely available to the wider industry during the current emergency. They provide sector-relevant guidance for engineering and building services contractors working across construction and FM in two specific areas: ‘Specific Environments’ (where there may be higher risk of COVID-19 transmission); and ‘close proximity working’ (less than 2m). The new guides: – align with the hierarchy of preventative measures shown in the Construction Leadership Council Site Operating Procedures, based on guidance from Public Health England; – do not recommend the deployment of respiratory protective equipment (RPE) for general site activities, most notably where social distancing is possible; and – recommend that any decision to deploy RPE in site-specific situations should be based on risk assessment. The guides have been drawn up with the support of a COVID-19 Expert Panel made up of BESA and ECA safety practitioners. The panel is also helping ECA and the BESA to provide informed, practical comments on site health and safety issues to the government and industry bodies who are generating overarching guidance in this area. BESA Health & Safety Advisor Rebecca Crosland said: “It is imperative that there is further guidance out there to help keep the industry safe. “The health, wellbeing and safety of everyone on site must be a priority during the COVID-19 health crisis. Businesses must exercise their duty of care under legislation to ensure all workers are protected and ensure that any critical information related to their health and safety is communicated clearly and then implemented.” Paul Reeve, ECA’s CSR Director and a member of the CLC’s working group on site safety measures said: “The CLC SOP is an overarching industry document, but it refers to the need for sector guidance. These two guides are the start of joint ECA and BESA activity to produce more detailed, sector-relevant information that’s desperately needed by many engineering services contractors. “They aim to help with the practical management of coronavirus-related issues on site, which may include the challenges associated with doing essential work in closer proximity than 2 metres.” The BESA and ECA welcome comments on the new guides from across the industry
NHS Property Services (NHSPS) has today announced changes to the way it delivers hard facilities management services (‘Hard FM’), which will see the government-owned company take direct control of selected services. Responsible for the management and maintenance of 3,500 properties across England, encompassing 7,000 tenants, NHSPS has one of the largest portfolios in the UK, valued in excess of £3bn and representing approximately 10% of the total NHS estate. The move to insource Hard FM services, i.e. those that relate to the maintenance of the physical materials of a building, follows a detailed review by NHSPS. This has determined which services should be delivered directly by NHSPS instead of the current provider Mitie. These include plumbing, electrical, mechanical, water systems, fire safety systems, lighting and building inspections. Other selected services such as air conditioning, heating, and gas will continue to be provided by Mitie or transferred to trusted partners. The change will take place on 1 April 2020 when approximately 140 Mitie employees affected by the decision will transfer to NHSPS’s employment. Martin Steele, Chief Executive Officer of NHSPS, said, “This decision supports our business strategy to deliver improved value for the NHS and is part of a wider program to rebalance our service delivery model. By taking these elements of facilities management in-house, we will have greater control over the standard and flexibility of service we provide our NHS customers. Given the scale of this service nationally, we will also be able to achieve significant cost efficiencies, to be reinvested back into the NHS.”
One of the UK’s leading builders’ merchants will resume its online service to tradespeople on Wednesday. Selco Builders Warehouse’s 68 branches and all its delivery services have been closed since the UK officially entered lockdown due to the coronavirus outbreak on Monday, March 23. A decision has now been taken for Selco to re-open 42 branches to support the delivery of online orders – through Click & Collect and Click & Deliver – only. No customers will be permitted to enter branches and other social distancing measures will be in place for collections and deliveries. Any collections will be made from the car parks of those branches that are open. Chief executive Howard Luft said: “It’s been an incredibly difficult period for the whole country and it’s been no different for us at Selco. “We have been monitoring events and government guidance extremely closely and now everything is in place to enable us to offer our customers a revised service, while closely following the social distancing guidelines. “We are fully aware our customers offer a vital service to the communities in which they operate, providing essential maintenance and repairs to properties, and we are delighted we can once again begin to make at least part of our usual offering available to them. “The health and wellbeing of our customers and colleagues remains our No 1 priority.” Opening hours at those Selco branches opening will be limited to 7am-5pm, Monday to Friday. All branches will be closed at weekends. Customer numbers will be managed through collection time slots to collect their orders, to ensure that social distancing can be maintained. Howard added: “We would urge only people who have pre-ordered products and materials to visit branches – and then only at the time they have been allocated. “We will constantly monitor operations in all of our branches which are re-opening and make adjustments as and where we see fit. “We will provide a further update on the remaining 26 branches which remain closed in due course.” For more information on Selco visit www.selcobw.com The full list of Selco branches opening is: York, Ardwick, Leeds Elland Road, Coventry, Baguley, Stirchley, Tyburn, Tyseley, Wolverhampton, Leicester, Nottingham, Cardiff Hadfield Road, Swansea, Bristol Filton, Cricklewood, Kingsbury, Ruislip, Hanger Lane, Southall, Watford, Hemel Hempstead, Camberley, Reading, Slough, Isleworth, Chessington, Poole, Southampton, Walthamstow, Barking, Tottenham, Romford, Thurrock, Chelmsford, Charlton, Catford, Old Kent Road, Sidcup, Croydon, Sutton, Wimbledon, Redhill.
There are many ways to make money with Bitcoin today. In fact, the cryptocurrency craze has created new ways to invest in Bitcoin. Thus, to make money with Bitcoin, it is now possible to trade on a dedicated platform, use derivatives, invest in new companies by getting tokens, etc. During ICO. Yes, in the opinion of many institutional investors, Bitcoin is not made of the same metal as many of the most authoritative and best known financial investments. However, new investor profiles are emerging. These utilize platforms to get Bitcoins after a strong price fix and resell them with a comfortable added value. In fact, it’s not uncommon for Bitcoin price to fluctuate by hundreds of dollars a day. More and more users see Bitcoin as a means of investing or as a store of value, not as a simple transfer tool. Like precious metals like gold and silver. This is logical because the high volatility of Bitcoin is both a risk and an opportunity. Bitcoin or derivative transactions Another possibility to make money with Bitcoin is, but it requires technical training to arbitrate Bitcoin prices between two trading platforms. Another way is by using the bitcoin software. A speculative technique developed by a currency trader, which is technically called a currency trader. They make money by buying Bitcoin on one platform and selling it on the other. Low purchase, high sale The most understandable method to make cash with cryptocurrencies is by investing in it. Buy cheaply and then sell high. For example, short-term trading based on technical analysis adds nothing to the project in question (which is written without moral judgment about practice). Long-term investment requires more participation in the project. The idea is to find a cryptocurrency whose value in the currency market will increase significantly in the future, which requires further investigation. This research requires time and understanding of the technical and economic principles of such projects. These investors provide the market with skills by raising the prices of the most relevant projects. Even if this doesn’t help the project directly, the price increase will benefit stakeholders from the beginning. To gain the trust of potential users, developers need to publish the source code of the project. The code may not have been released initially and may then be placed under a license that does not allow modifications to give the author protection. These approaches are still valid, but in the case of cryptocurrencies, they are complemented by other approaches, as the “coins” generated by the system are valuable in finding the buyer. Buy coins from the beginning Of course, if the value of your work is low, it’s a great way for creators to believe in a project. Therefore, they can leverage it and accumulate it to increase the value of their past and future work. This applies not only to developers, but to all stakeholders who can carry on projects. This accumulation can be done especially by mining. In so-called Proof-of-Work systems, mining is always easier at first and then the higher the overall computing power assigned to this task, the higher the difficulty. I will explain the installation when a large number of coins are generated from the beginning and assigned to project members. If this distribution is unbalanced, it will undermine the balance of future money in the market as anyone with a significant portion of the token can manipulate the price. If it’s difficult to load the software after the source code is published, you can infer that it’s the last minute. The practice of generating before a certain amount of coins to sell for a period of time first coin, as well as the stock market for the more common stock. This approach continues to be debated, but is much more well accepted these days. This has the advantage that the project can be capitalized in order to fund a team that is large enough and qualified to start before a competitor with a similar concept.
