Trust Lodge Brothers to guide you through every step of the journey

Lodge Brothers began as a family business currently run by six members of the Lodge family who are seventh generation funeral directors Isleworth. While the current extended Lodge Family across the UK is not necessarily blood-related, the bonds between all of the funeral directors at Lodge Brothers still run deep because of the shared heritage they have and because of the common goal that they share.  This is to ensure that each person who crosses their doorstep knows that they are in safe hands and can rest assured that no detail is overlooked. With so much experience and a deep love for what can only be called a vocation, Lodge Brothers funeral directors Datchet provide many options for the funerals, which honours the memory of the deceased.

In 2020, businesses were forced into looking at alternative ways to continue providing their services during circumstances that can be described as unprecedented and unforeseen, to say the least. Forced to change their outlook, the globe saw a massive increase in remote working stats. As face-to-face became unacceptable, cloud-based hosting providers proved to be a vital part of the solution. Cloud computing partners Knowall IT London enabled companies to continue to operate, enabling online and hybrid working options.

DIY Marquees – Marquees for all occasions

Marquees have always been a popular and sought-after option as an alternative to your regular venue hire options. This is mainly attributed to the unique sense of style which can be created when using a marquee as your preferred venue option. There is nothing quite like creating the specific ambiance, mood and atmosphere, as when you design and decorate your marquee venue, tailormade to your desires.

Notwithstanding the many great benefits of the marquee as the ultimate venue option, there are some aspects relating to the logistics of marquees that can leave some feeling unsure of whether the outcome is worth the effort. Stop and take a minute as we discuss some of the issues which may leave you feeling reluctant to opt for the marquee option.

  1. Its cold.

Yes, this is the UK and no one has ever claimed to have all the answers when it comes to the various weather-patterns resulting in our world-famous reputation for having 4 seasons in 1 day! Its true that using a marquee might leave you vulnerable to various elements however there is always an innovative solution to any element. So, you want to know how to heat your marquee, DIY Marquees would recommend setting up a powerful, indirect heater which will disperse heat through out the marquee. Situated at the entrance of the marquee facing towards the inside, your marquee will be cozy in a matter of minutes. For a larger marquee, add smaller indirect heaters at the corner and other such “dead” spaces where people are not mingling. That way you can prevent the cold from seeping in and keep your guest’s toasty.

  1. Not all terrains are made equal.

Anyone who has attended a glamourous event, hosted on a grassy terrain, knows how hard it can be to prevent your £1,245 Maisel 100 faux pearl-embellished, paper-thin stiletto Jimmy Choo heels from sinking into the grass below you, sending you tumbling into an embarrassing social faux-par! To ensure the ultimate comfort of your guests, you would want to place your marquee on a solid, even surface, but the question remains: How to anchor your marquee down on hard surfaces? Your traditional tie-downs will not work on a solid surface, so alternatives include bolting or drilling holes in the footplate, to which you can place straps to secure the marquee. Alternatively, use heavy weights, such as a concrete block, strapped directly to the marquee. No concrete blocks available, strap the marquee to a strategically placed car, or lead a strap through to a near-by grassy patch.

  1. Once size does not fit all

This concept apparently works in retail however we all know the truth is that there is no 1 solution or product which will suit everyone’s needs. Attempting to squeeze everyone into a one size fits all marquee, will not work. Luckily, DIY Marquees has the perfect solution to help customers to create a marquee perfect for their needs. From the size of the marquee, to the shape, space, function and location, visit the website’s Marquee Planner to create a replica to help you check all the boxes.

IBS employ dedicated experts in vacuum technologies

Vacuum pump technology was first utilised since the first champions of the industrial revolutions brought this technology, the brainwave of scientist Otto von Guericke, into existence.  Developed and improved upon to create what has become one of the fundamental building blocks of industry in the modern era, with its hundreds of applications in several different industry sectors, vacuum technology has been said to be endlessly evolving, proving it one of the most critical invention of all the industrial revolutions. With the 4th Industrial Revolution in full swing, is there still a future for this type of technology in industry or are we looking at the end of an era for this science-based technical tool?

IBS has been in the vacuum blower industry for more then 3 decades and believes that from a current economic stance on business, the application of vacuum pump technology plays as important a role as ever before and that there no signs of this trend waning in the near future.  Certainly, the current application of the use of vacuum technology in retail, manufacturing and everyday packaging industries, such as plastic molding, washing systems in food processing, underwater aeration with commercial and household applications, PET coating on plastic bottles and dry freezing of packaged food and beverages, is a going concern. However, as the call for safer and more environmentally friendly, sustainability becomes the focus of growing concerns for the health and well-being of the globe and humanity itself, will we begin to see a decrease in the use of vacuum technology?

The answer is a simple no. More and more, it becomes evident that vacuum technology is here to stay. Although common applications may well change due to the changing demands from governments to make swift and steady changes towards sustainable business, vacuum technology is already being tested and proving vital in the developments of the 4IR. It is predicted that we will witness vital incremental improvements on seals and gauges, calibration methods with far superior accuracy will appear and even more specialised custom-designed vacuum facilities being created to accommodate rings, reactors, and portable industrial vacuum units. Side Channel Blowers and industrial Vacuum units stand to be developed as new products begin to appear as the market begins to adapt with the introduction of solid-state electronics.

 

  The prediction is that the vacuum pumps of the near-future will not only be more reliable with the capacity for vastly improved operations for distinctly longer periods of time, but will also prove themselves to be vital to the development of lasers, superconductors, catalysis as well as solar energy, microprocessors and computers. While it is hard to know for sure the exact developmental path of vacuum technology, it would be premature to begin a move away from what may be viewed as a technology whose time has come.

 

 

 

 

IBS Blowers is excited to be in an industry, which is crucial to the growth and development of industry and will continue to provide a vast array of products, both new and reconditioned, which can be recommended with confidence from now into the future.

Nick from Hertfordshire is a romantic and loves the idea of spending time by the fire with a glass of bubbly with a beautiful set of eyes to stare into. Nick was new on the dating scene after the loss of his wife more than 5 years ago. Dating had not been easy for Nick as he spent most of his time split between working full time and being a single parent to his 2 young daughters. Nick realised that as his girls grew older and became more independent, that it might be the right time to try and meet people. Nick joined Dukes of Daisy with the view of making as many friends as possible. Nick was a naturally sensitive man with a great sense of humour and less than 6 months into his Dukes of Daisy journey, Nick happened to find the romance that he thought was lost forever.

Its time for you to be like Nick by renting a female date for Valentines date. Visit Dukes of Daisy and find a companion. And all things being equal, that little black dress which currently lies dormant at the back of your wardrobe will be in use sooner than you think!
