130+ girls attend event designed to attract more young women into STEM careers

MORE than 130 young women attended an event designed to attract females into engineering and construction.

Hosted by Coleg Cambria’s Bersham Road site in Wrexham, the taster day was enjoyed by pupils aged seven to 13 years old from schools across north east Wales.

They were given a tour of the £10m complex, met with leading names from industry and had a go at a series of practical challenges and tasks with staff in numerous departments, including Fabrication and Welding, Automotive Engineering, Plastering, Painting, Joinery, Plumbing, Electrical Engineering and more.

Among them were learners from Victoria Community Primary School in Wrexham, whose headteacher Debbie Eccles said: “Our pupils had a fantastic time at the event, they absolutely loved it. Next year I will bring more girls!”

Elaine Whybro, a Year 5/6 teacher at Penygelli Primary School in Coedpoeth, added: “The girls had an amazing time and learned a lot. The lecturers who taught them were fantastic and really spoke at their level.

“I talked to the students afterwards and quite a few of them did say they would like to work in engineering and construction, which is probably the best feedback we could ever give – thanks so much to everyone involved.”

Amelie Owens, a Year 9 Argoed High School student, was in agreement and said: “I really enjoyed the whole experience, and the welding was great fun.

“The teachers were really helpful and kind, and overall it was a great opportunity.  It has definitely made me think about careers in this field and going on to study engineering in the future.”

Karl Jackson, Assistant Principal for the Institute of Technology and Site Lead at Bersham Road, was thrilled with the response.

“Coleg Cambria has held these events for several years now as we want to play our part in breaking down barriers for young women in Wrexham and beyond,” said Karl.

“Construction and engineering are historically male-dominated fields but as we’ve demonstrated there is an appetite and opportunities out there for girls who want to pursue a career in these areas.

“The feedback has been fantastic, we are thankful to everyone who came along and will continue to work closely with local schools to support the next generation of female engineers, trades and construction workers.”

Organic farm estate inspires young brain cancer patient to develop photography dream

VISITING one of the country’s most picturesque organic farm estates has been a source of comfort for an inspirational young photographer recovering from brain cancer.

Luke Houslay, from Widnes, makes regular trips with mum Nina and dad Duncan to Rhug Estate near Corwen, North Wales.

So the 19 year-old was thrilled to be given his own private tour of the 12,500-acre site with head gamekeeper David Pooler – on behalf of owner Lord Newborough and the National Gamekeepers’ Organisation – to photograph a wide selection of animals, including bison and deer, and the Estate’s incredible wildlife and scenery.

Taking pictures is what Luke loves to do, and despite being forced to use a wheelchair because of his disability – he contracted medulloblastoma at just 15 years old, a cancerous brain tumour that starts in the cerebellum – Nina said being out in the open at Rhug is when he is at his happiest.

“We have always visited North Wales and have been to Rhug Estate so many times,” she said.

“As it’s one of Luke’s favourite places we have so many wonderful memories. He has been very ill so we bring him to relive his happiest times when he would run around and explore as a child.”

Nina added: “Luke sadly missed their recent open day when there was the opportunity to go on a tour and look at the animals.

“We contacted them via social media to see if there was another event coming up soon, and to our surprise they kindly offered him his very own private tour.

“As he is in a wheelchair it’s difficult for Luke to get around, but they drove he and Duncan in a vehicle so he could stop to get up close with the deer and other wildlife, something he would not be able to do anywhere else – it was wonderful.”

Luke has fought the cancer and its effects for almost five years, undergoing several surgeries, chemotherapy and radiotherapy and having to “learn how to do everything again” with the care and support of his parents.

“He had been ill for a while when we managed to get a scan, and was admitted to hospital the same day,” said Nina.

“He didn’t return for four months; it completely turned our lives upside down.”

She added: “Because of that and residual injuries he has had so many knockbacks and sadly can’t do some of the things he would love to do, due to the life-changing impact of what he has been through.

“He is unable to go to college and he wanted to join a photography class but was unable to, so the time he spent at Rhug taking photos was huge for him, it really helped his confidence.

“Luke loves being behind the camera, nothing makes him happier. He had to prop himself up to take the shots he wanted but has a real passion for it and took some lovely photos.

“He spends his days sat with me at home, so for Rhug Estate to go out of their way for him is so heartening, I don’t think they know how much it meant to us.”

The day will live long in their memories, as will his visit to the café, where Luke enjoyed his favourite item on the menu – a large slice of cake!

“He came home shattered but so excited, he doesn’t say much but he couldn’t stop talking about the wonderful day he had, he was ecstatic,” said Nina.

“Luke will always be on medication and will always need our care, and sadly he lost a lot of motivation and hope when he became ill, but for a few short hours he felt on top of the world, all thanks to the amazing team at Rhug – thank you.”

Rhug Estate owner Lord Newborough said Luke and his family are welcome to visit anytime.

“We are so pleased and proud to have been able to show Luke what goes on behind the scenes at Rhug, it was a privilege as we know what a supporter he has been of the Estate for many years,” he added.

“His photos are wonderful and really capture the essence of what we do, the nature and beautiful surroundings; we hope he will come and see us again soon… and bring his camera.”

Industrial property take up in Wales drops in second quarter of year

The second quarter of the year saw take up of large industrial property in Wales reach 200,000 sq ft, down significantly compared with the same period last year, according to new research by global property consultancy Knight Frank.

The level of activity for properties over 50,000 sq ft was 177,000 sq ft lower than during Q2 2022 and less than half the number of transactions witnessed in Q1 this year.

Neil Francis, head of Logistics & Industrial at Knight Frank in Cardiff, said: “The figures comprised one sale in North Wales and two lettings in South Wales, with the stand out deal being the letting of the newly constructed 50,000 sq ft unit at Junction 35, Pencoed by Deeside Regeneration.

“This was let to Sainsbury’s Supermarkets Limited on a 10 year lease and the investment is now being sold in the market with good levels of interest in acquiring this opportunity.”

He added: “I would describe the market as inconsistent this quarter and we have a number of large units under offer which we had hoped would have completed by now. With a push towards getting these completed before summer we do expect Q3 to record higher take up.”

The Knight Frank research showed that availability in Wales for the quarter stood at 5.7 million sq ft, up by  600,000 sq ft on Q1. Of this, 450,000 sq ft can be classed as Grade A space with St Modwen Park, Newport offering two units of 106,000 sq ft and 116,000 sq ft, both of which are attracting strong interest at the quoting rent of £8.75 per sq ft.

In addition construction work is progressing well at the 52,582 sq ft RYB1 at Rhyd y Blew in Ebbw Vale with good levels of interest received from a range of occupiers

Neil Francis said: “Of the 5.7 million sq ft availability, 1.6 million sq ft is the Ford site and we still wait to understand who is acquiring this and the plans for this site in the future.

“In my review of 2022 I said that the wider UK economic pressures could impact on business viability and could in turn increase availability levels as 2003 progresses. We have seen this in Q2 with a number of closures announced and with further business failures rumoured we expect the availability of second hand stock to increase.

“Positively though we are still seeing demand from occupiers keen to own property. For example, Knight Frank is marketing a 55,000 sq ft unit that had two parties bidding, both had cash, and the price secured is close to asking. With a number of freehold properties likely to become available we expect similar sentiment into Q3.”

Flotek Group Eyes New Acquisition Target After Integration Success

Flotek Group, a fast-growing Managed IT and Telecom Service provider, is ready for the next phase of the buy and build strategy. Having completed 8 acquisitions in 12 months, Flotek Group now have 5 offices across the UK with a key focus on the South West.

 

Jay Ball, CEO of Flotek Group, attributes the company’s rapid growth to the seamless integration of acquired businesses across multiple sectors, including IT, telecom communications, and data infrastructure throughout the UK.  With a focus on culture alignment from the outset, Flotek’s 100-day integration plan clearly outlines goals and key performance indicators.

 

Jay said: “Our focus when approaching potential targets has always been to create win-win deal structures. By establishing trust with sellers from day one, we facilitate smoother and more successful integration processes.”

 

Mark Wyatt, Former Director & owner of Gower Business System commented: “Having developed the business’ success during the past three decades, it’s extremely important to me that we continue to build on Gower Business System’s legacy, and serve our loyal & fantastic customers.

 

“Flotek’s employee-led and customer-centric business model perfectly aligns with Gower Business System’s ethos. I am pleased to see after one year since joining Flotek Group, our customers now benefit from extended services such as cloud telephony, Microsoft Cloud and an enhanced cyber security service. I am delighted to see everything agreed during the negotiation with the deal have been successfully fulfilled and exceeded my expectations.”

 

Flotek Group has recently secured prestigious NHS contracts as a data infrastructure installer, covering areas in Swansea, Hywel Dda, Powys, and Cwm Taf. This achievement reinforces Flotek’s commitment to delivering exceptional services and further solidifies its position as a trusted provider in the industry.

 

Building upon a strong foundation of growth and success in its first year, Flotek Group is actively seeking to engage with Communications or IT companies with a turnover ranging from £350k to £2m for potential discussions.

 

Jay added: “We frequently receive enquiries regarding the acquisition of our competitors, as we have been transparent about our previous acquisitions. However, these enquiries often come when the competitors are looking to sell, which may not allow them to receive the true value they deserve.

 

“Our approach is to establish a longer-term relationship with potential sellers, align our goals, and assist them in achieving the necessary value for a successful exit in the future.”

Fire Safety

How to keep your employees safe from fire

If you own an office or a commercial building, then you’ll likely understand how important it is to have the correct fire safety measures in place. After all, if you fail to plan for a fire and your employees and/or customers aren’t prepared, someone may end up trapped inside.

Remember, even if you’re fully prepared, it only takes one faulty appliance or one piece of carelessness for a fire to start… and the consequences can be disastrous.

Thankfully, if you invest in the right commercial fire safety equipment and put the correct plans in place, you can make sure that everybody stays protected and safe, no matter what happens.

The basics of fire safety

In order to protect lives, you need both a strategy for dealing with a fire and an evacuation plan.

To start with, you need to consider your emergency exit routes. This way, if a problem arises, you can get everybody out before they suffer from either smoke inhalation or burns caused by scorching flames.

As part of this, you’ll need to plan an exit route that specifically caters for people with mobility issues, such as people who use a wheelchair, a crutches or a walker.

Once you’ve planned your routes, you then need to tell your staff about them and then run a few practice drills. Then, if anyone is ever faced with any danger, they’ll know exactly what to do.

After this, you’ll need to kit out your office or commercial building with the correct equipment. The exact pieces of equipment you’ll need will vary based on the business you’re running, but common examples include:

  • Fire extinguishers that are strategically placed throughout the building
  • Fire doors
  • Smoke detectors
  • Exit signs and marked paths for people who struggle to see in low-lit areas
  • Sprinkler systems
  • Fire alarms and way for a member of staff to manually raise the alarm

Added to this, you’ll also need an emergency plan that’s prepared well ahead of time. This should detail things such as:

  • Who should evacuate first if there’s trouble
  • Who evacuates the building via each route
  • Where people go when they’ve evacuated the building
  • Specialist plans for people who will need help evacuating the building
  • Who is responsible for briefing the emergency services
  • Who will make sure everyone has left the building

All of this may sound rather extreme and a lot of work, but you’re much better off being safe than sorry. Everyone hopes a fire will never occur and that there’ll never be an accident, but the reality remains that fires do happen. As a result, you need to take these steps to make sure that everyone has the best chance of surviving in case the very worst happens.

Next steps…

Once all of this is done, there’s no time to rest easy. Having a plan in place is great, but you need to make sure it’s continually reviewed, kept up-to-date and reflects any changes. Crucially, you also need to report these changes to staff members, so they know what to do when an alarm sounds or if there’s any sort of danger nearby.

Research has shown that staff members who are comfortable in their working environment and fully understand the procedures in place are less likely to panic if there’s a fire, so taking these steps can make sure that you stand the best chances of success in case a fire does break out.

Scottish Government Agency Leverages Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) to Embrace Cloud Technology

Nutanix today announced that Forestry & Land Scotland (FLS) has upgraded its datacentre infrastructure to a hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI), selecting the Nutanix Cloud Platform to support a workload of 300 virtual machines. FLS opted for Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) on Microsoft Azure, a hybrid cloud solution that functions as a single cloud, allowing users to manage apps and infrastructure in their private cloud and Azure. With Nutanix NC2, FLS has been able to migrate the whole datacentre to Microsoft Azure without the time, effort and expense of re-engineering applications for native deployment

Founded in 2018 as part of the Scottish devolution process, FLS manages over 1.5 million acres of national forests and land. That’s close to 9% of the Scottish land mass with FLS having a wide remit to promote and manage, not just forestry but tourism, leisure, nature conservation and other related activities across the area. To meet the short term IT needs of a newly devolved Scottish government agency whilst, at the same time, supporting its move to the public cloud in line with a cloud-first government policy, FLS was required to rapidly revamp its legacy on-premises datacentre.

Nick Mahlitz, Senior Digital Infrastructure Manager, FLS

 

“We initially saw NC2 as a kind of stopgap,” said Nick Mahlitz, Senior Digital Infrastructure Manager, FLS, “that would allow us to pick up our on-premise Nutanix datacentre and run it on Microsoft Azure while we went about re-engineering applications to run on that platform natively. However, it soon became clear that NC2 could be a lot more than a halfway house. In fact it could deliver many, if not all, of the benefits of public cloud without the time, effort and extra expenditure required for full native migration.”

FLS was already using Microsoft Azure to provide for disaster recovery of its on-premise datacentre, so, naturally, the organisation first looked at re-engineering for native operation of its applications on that platform. FLS soon realised that NC2 for Azure would be a better, quicker and more cost-effective approach, enabling it to stretch its existing environment seamlessly into the cloud and migrate workflows at its own pace without having to transform or re-engineer the code in any way. The migration to the Nutanix Cloud Platform offered immediate benefits in terms of both performance and on-demand scalability. It also resulted in a significantly smaller datacentre footprint in terms of both physical space and power and cooling requirements – yet another key benefit of value to this environmentally focused organisation.

As with the original datacentre project Mahlitz and the team were faced with a lot of unknowns when it came to coming to this conclusion, but here, too, Nutanix was able to help. In particular, by arranging a proof of concept trial of Nutanix NC2 on Microsoft Azure involving actual FLS production workloads.

6 Things to Consider When Building Travel Itineraries

Travel itineraries require careful planning, budgeting, and research. Learn how to avoid mistakes and plan a great trip here.

Did you know that approximately 45 million Americans went on vacation in 2020?

Whether you decide to stay in the States or explore foreign climes, a vacation is a great way to reset, relax, and make memories to last a lifetime. But with so many things to do and see, how exactly do you make a start on your travel agenda?

Travel itineraries can be tricky. Fortunately, we’ve packed this guide with plenty of essential travel tips. We’ll discuss vacation planning, budget management, and other crucial road trip advice.

6 crucial travel tips.

  1. Know Your Goals and Interests

The main purpose of any holiday is to have fun. By outlining your goals and interests, you can create a travel agenda that keeps you entertained, engaged, and ready for adventure.

If you would rather spend a couple of weeks lounging by the pool with your work phone on silent, consider an all-inclusive resort getaway. Why not waste the days away munching on tapas and sipping free cocktails? When the sun goes down, you’ll enjoy a range of exciting entertainment options, from animal shows to magic and cabaret.

If you prefer a more adrenaline-fueled experience, look for destinations with easy access to hiking, surfing, paragliding, or any other activity that interests you. Either way, a well-planned itinerary based on your interests gives you the best possible chance of a great vacation experience.

  1. Research Your Destination

Researching your destination is an important part of any travel agenda. You need to know all the options on offer. That way, you can make an informed decision when you book your flights or plan your road trip.

Take note of any popular landmarks or attractions you want to visit. Use a calendar or planning app to factor them into your upcoming travel itineraries. That way, you won’t miss out on must-see sights.

Independent review and ranking websites such as Google and TripAdvisor are a great place to start when researching destinations. You can see what other tourists liked and learn about unmissable events and hidden gems.

If you want to go on a road trip, use a virtual map to highlight must-visit destinations along the way. Note the distances between attractions and be sure to put a ring around gas stations.

  1. Consider Logistics

If you plan to travel cross-country, it’s worth familiarizing yourself with the best transit routes before you head out. If you’re driving, check out local transport laws for the state or county you plan to visit.

When using public transport, take the time to learn about how the transit system works at your desired destination. Look up typical costs, common routes, and any other relevant information. With this knowledge in hand, you can ride with the confidence of a local wherever you go.

Depending on your destination, driving can be the best way to get around. If you plan to go interstate or abroad, take some time to research local regulations around driving permits. You may need to display tags or get an international license.

  1. Allow for Flexibility and Downtime

When you take a vacation, it’s easy to suffer from the fear of missing out. However, with good vacation planning, you can rest assured that you’ll enjoy a healthy combination of relaxation and activity.

Be realistic with your expectations. As well as allocated days for relaxation, leave a few blank spaces in your calendar. It’s very easy to overestimate your energy when writing travel itineraries, so make sure you put some time aside for things like jetlag, sunburn, and general tiredness.

While a strict literary gives you a sense of direction and purpose, you also need to understand the importance of rest and downtime. By building a packed itinerary and taking on too much, you risk burning out and missing the bulk of your vacation.

  1. Plan Your Accommodation

When it comes to arranging a vacation or road trip, accommodation is a key consideration. You need to know where you’ll be resting your head during your time away. And whether that’s a tent or a five-star hotel, it will make a huge difference to your vacation budget and planning.

If you want to stay in one place, your accommodation arrangements are simple. Just look for a quality hotel or rental property that’s close to the amenities you want. If you want to travel, try to plan a route that has plenty of sensibly spaced accommodations along the way.

Millions of Americans regret investing in timeshares. While this option can work in practice, it’s much safer to look at long-term and seasonal leases for repeat vacations. If you already own a timeshare and want to transfer it, visit lonestartransfer.com now.

  1. Balance Your Itinerary

If you want to enjoy everything your destination or route has to offer, be sure to balance your itinerary. Keep the vacation interesting with a diverse combination of culture, relaxation, and partying.

Overall, your personal taste should dictate the tone of your getaway. Do what you feel like and don’t let your itinerary dictate the entire vacation if you don’t want it to.

Remember that some of the best memories are made spontaneously. While your travel plans might change, you’ll continue to have a wonderful experience.

Live the Dream With Travel Itineraries

In the world of travel, the possibilities are endless, and the adventures are waiting to unfold.

With careful planning and a touch of spontaneity, you can create travel itineraries that suit your goals and interests. From tranquil beachside getaways to thrilling outdoor adventures, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

Debunking Myths About Selling Homes for Cash

The process of selling a home can be intricate and time-consuming. From finding a reliable buyer to navigating through negotiations and paperwork, it can often feel overwhelming. However, there is an alternative option that many homeowners overlook: selling their homes for cash. While this method has gained popularity in recent years, several myths and misconceptions surround the process. In this article, we will debunk these common myths and shed light on the truth behind selling homes for cash.

Myth #1: Cash buyers are scams

One of the most prevalent misconceptions about selling homes for cash is that cash buyers are scams. This is simply not true. While it is important to be cautious when dealing with any financial transaction, there are reputable cash buyers in the real estate market. Companies like Shyft, for example, are cash buyers who provide legitimate and transparent services to homeowners. They offer a hassle-free selling experience, allowing homeowners to avoid the traditional listing and mortgage approval process.

Myth #2: Selling for cash means accepting a lower offer

Another common myth is that selling a home for cash automatically means accepting a lower offer. While it is true that cash buyers may offer less than the market value, they also provide a range of benefits that can offset the difference. Cash offers are typically less likely to fall through due to financing issues, ensuring a quick and smooth transaction. Additionally, sellers can save money on real estate agent commissions and other fees associated with a traditional sale.

Myth #3: Cash buyers only purchase distressed properties

Some homeowners believe that cash buyers only purchase distressed properties that require significant repairs. This myth stems from the idea that cash buyers are primarily real estate investors looking for cheap investment opportunities. However, cash buyers are interested in a wide range of properties, regardless of their condition. Whether the home is in pristine condition or needs repairs, cash buyers can make an offer based on the property’s current market value.

Myth #4: Cash sales are only suitable for urgent situations

While selling a home for cash can be an ideal solution for homeowners facing urgent situations such as foreclosure or job relocation, it is not limited to these circumstances. Many homeowners choose to sell for cash because of the convenience and speed it offers. Whether they are downsizing, upgrading, or simply looking to simplify the selling process, cash sales can be a viable option for various situations.

Myth #5: Cash buyers are untrustworthy

Some homeowners are hesitant to work with cash buyers due to a lack of trust. However, it is essential to do proper research and choose a reputable cash buyer. Look for testimonials, reviews, and proof of previous successful transactions. Reputable cash buyers will be transparent about their process, provide references if requested, and ensure that all legal documentation is in order. Trustworthy cash buyers prioritise customer satisfaction and aim to make the selling experience as smooth as possible.

 

In conclusion, selling homes for cash is a viable alternative to the traditional real estate market. Cash buyers provide homeowners with a convenient and efficient way to sell their properties. Debunking the myths surrounding cash sales can help homeowners make informed decisions about their selling options. By understanding the truth behind these misconceptions, homeowners can confidently explore the possibility of selling their homes for cash and experience the benefits it can bring.
