The local business Bewley Homes offered two automated external defibrillators (AED) for Reading Football Club, making the Madejski Stadium a safer place for supporters. With major events taking place every year there, the new equipment will help them deal better in case of emergency life threatening incidents. When someone experiences a sudden cardiac arrest, a condition which sees the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stop beating, the AED can be used to shock the heart and restore the normal heart rhythm. A heart attack and a cardiac arrest are two different conditions. While a heart attack is caused by the plumbing of the heart, the cardiac arrest happens because of an electric problem within the heart and the only way to restore the rhythm is with the help of an AED. “Sudden cardiac arrest kills approximately 100,000 people in the UK every year…that is more than 270 people per day! In fact, it is responsible for more deaths than lung cancer, breast cancer and AIDS combined,” explains Trudie Lobban MBE, Founder and CEO of Arrhythmia Alliance. “Arrhythmia Alliance wants to make sure our loved ones, colleagues and friends are as safe as possible with an AED nearby.” Many public spaces, including the Madejski Stadium now, have an AED as part of their first aid equipment. It can be found in train stations, airports, offices, and schools, and are easily identified by their noticeable green casing and green sign above each device. It can also be used without training because of the machine’s ability to analyse a person’s heart rhythm and visually and audibly guiding people through each step. Andrew Brooks, Managing Director at Bewley Homes, said that this gift is their way of giving back to the local community that has supported them through the years and making sure that the defibrillators will help save lives.
Bewley Homes has announced that they have successfully managed to raise an additional £55 million funding in order to help the company to support the growth of their rapidly expanding business. The funding has been raised by Bewley Homes plc from Lloyds Bank Commercial Banking. The business has successfully become a major contributor to the housing supply in the areas that the company operates in. Over the past five years, with Andrew Brooks in the role of Managing Director, the housebuilding business has seen a significant level of growth over the course of the past five years with a turnover that has increased from £20 million in 2012 to £120 million in 2017. With the economic and political environment at the moment, it is vital that more housing is produced. The additional funding that has been raised by Bewley Homes will help the company to further support their business through the acquisition of new housing as well as providing additional funding to help to support the business in the acquisition and development of land, which will then allow the housebuilders to work towards meeting the need for housing in the areas they work in. Bewley Homes plc works to offer high quality new homes in desirable locations since starting to operate in 1991. Bewley Homes is well known for its quality and property portfolio in a range of desirable locations. The company has managed to deliver a sustained level of growth over the years, and has used their strong reputation in order to earn the support of Lloyds Bank Commercial Banking. The sustained growth experienced by the company has taken place alongside the increase in demand for high quality housing across the South East of the country. Lloyds Bank is showing their support for Bewley Homes in order to help support a vital part of the UK economy as a part of the Bank’s dedication to help Britain to prosper.
Jodie Pope accepted the Technical Assistant role for Bewley Homes. Bewley Homes is a developer that is based in Berkshire. Following her appointment as Technical Assistant, Jodie has undergone a development all her own, as she displayed hard work and dedication in order to overcome all challenges she has faced in the past year. Working as an Assistant to the Technical Team, Jodie had a wide range of different responsibilities to carry out. Jodie has been involved with the implementation of new developments and has seen projects through from inception to completed and sold. Part of her role has found Jodie managing a range of different tasks at once, as part of a roe that has offered diversity and pace. Bewley Homes has been working to support Jodie throughout her first year as she develops her knowledge base. The experienced team working at Bewley Homes have been on hand throughout in order to support and mentor Jodie throughout the initial steep learning curve and as she takes on different tasks and challenges as a part of her role as Technical Assistant. The hard work that Jodie has put in since she started has paid off, as she has been promoted to Technical Co-ordinator. In this new role Jodie has been given full responsibility of the management of two dedicated Bewley Homes projects as well as working to assist with any requirements that have come from the commercial, sales and construction teams. Next, Jodie is about to begin her Masters in Construction Management at the University of Reading. While Studying, Bewley Homes is supporting Jodie, allowing her to study part time. Bewley Homes have published Jodie’s story in order to demonstrate to other young people who are wanting to begin a career in the construction industry how to work hard and succeed. Highlighting Jodie’s story in particular shows the rapid progression of a woman in this industry, which will hopefully be a positive example for other young women considering this area for a career.
