From Oily Overalls To Glitz & Glamour: BBF Awards Night 2019
Inspired by Sir David
Did you know CES boss Nick Rogers fancies himself as a bit of a David Attenborough? Well, you might not find him hanging out with the penguins on a slab of ice but you will find him doing his bit for the planet. Having grown up in Nigeria and realising how privileged we are in the UK to have access to fresh, clean water and plenty of it, Nick wanted to make sure we were protecting this precious resource and not just taking it for granted. Following a passion for protecting the environment, Nick began looking into the possibility of a jet-wash bay that recycles water. With support from Low Carbon Workspaces linked to Buckinghamshire Business First, CES were able to aquire a grant to help with the installation of the new jet wash bay and are now delighted that we are using 40% less water!
Trade is critical to business and here at CES Hire we value your business, so for the month of October we are declaring CES a “FREE TRADE” zone. This means FREE shipping to you throughout the month. As a small family-run company ourselves we are always keen to support our fellow small plastering, rendering, painting and decorating businesses. We hope our awesome October offer will help support our customers grow their own businesses.
“It’s not fair!” How many times have we heard our children or grandchildren utter those words? It’s not fair that they have to go to bed, it’s not fair that they can’t watch Peppa Pig, it’s not fair that they have to have a bath…ah the hardships of being a child (can you tell I have a toddler?!). As we grow older, we start to realise those “inequalities” of childhood were not quite as unfair as we deemed and suddenly, we really do observe the injustices and unfairness of the world. Fairness, inclusion and Respect (FIR) has become an industry-wide initiative within the construction industry in the hope of making it a supportive place to be for all. This week’s Toolbox Talk discusses the meaning of Fairness, inclusion and respect, the part the Equality Act plays, the benefits of integrating FIR in the workplace and how you can go about this.
