News Water Wonderful Idea!
Water fountains that save plastic AND help provide clean drinking water to developing nations hit the UK ahead of World Water Day (22 March)
Consumers keen to do their bit to tackle single-use plastic by refilling their water bottles will now also have the opportunity to provide clean drinking water to some of the world’s poorest communities at the click of a button, thanks to an innovative new fundraising initiative arriving in the UK this week.
Dutch charity Made Blue, in partnership with water cooler experts MIW, has created a water fountain that offers filtered, chilled drinking water and an option to donate 75p via a QR code positioned on the unit. This small contribution will guarantee at least 500 litres of clean, fresh drinking water to a community in one of five live projects in Vietnam, Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Tanzania and Uganda.
The first of these fountains was unveiled this week at Northwood military base in North West London. The partnership aims to launch further units in a wide range of UK destinations including shopping centres, museums, universities, sports clubs, hospitals, libraries and transport hubs, with an ambition to raise thousands more for the worthy cause.
Made Blue this week celebrates the milestone of providing 8 billion litres of clean drinking water to overseas communities through partnering with businesses that either serve or save water. Their projects operate in countries where government is unable to install and maintain water supply, regions that lack infrastructure or governance and in densely populated slums.
Machiel van Dooren, cofounder of Made Blue said: “785 million people across the globe do not have access to clean drinking water and the effects of climate change will exacerbate the problem in the coming years. We’re confident that the British public’s appetite for tackling plastic waste and helping the environment by embracing the refill movement will extend to helping the world’s poorest communities access clean drinking water – something we take for granted every day. As water refill stations are free to use, we hope that people who perhaps used to spend 75p on a bottle of water from a shop, will donate to this incredibly worthy cause.”
Mike Winter, CEO at MIW Water Cooler Experts said: “As we emerge from lockdown restrictions, we are delighted that our safe and hygienic refill stations are being put back into action to help reduce the environmental impact of singleuse plastics. Our partnership with Made Blue is a wonderful opportunity to take things a step further, and we are particularly pleased to be able to offer these new fountains with no ongoing maintenance costs. We expect a lot of interest in this project and are happy to adapt existing water refill stations and fountains so they can be part of this new initiative.”
The scheme has been designed to make it very simple for consumers to contribute, with the QR code allowing payment via Paypal, Apple Pay, Credit or Debit card.
Bottle Up, an organisation that creates reusable bottles from sugar cane, has also pledged its support by donating 100 litres of clean drinking water for every bottle they sell.

GRITIT Group Appoint Andrew Barry as Group Chief Executive
Following the recent acquisition of Doncaster-based surfacing and engineering business NMC Group Ltd, creating a new £50m revenue market-leading provider of Outdoor Estate Compliance Solutions, GRITIT Group has today announced the appointment of Andrew (‘Andy’) Barry as the new Group Chief Executive with effect from 1 March 2021.
With its heritage in winter services compliance, the GRITIT Group has scaled rapidly since the investment by Total Capital Partners in 2018. Significantly, during that time, the business has invested heavily in people, systems and its growth strategy, resulting in site growth of over 60%, with some 7500 sites now under management. The Group will soon be announcing a rebranding of the business to better represent the scale and breadth of its new, integrated service solutions focused on outdoor estate compliance.
Andy Barry has served as the GRITIT Group Sales Director since 2019. A qualified accountant, prior to joining GRITIT he held a number of senior Finance and Managing Director positions at Compass Group Plc. In his last role at Compass, Andy delivered sustainable doubledigit growth over a number of years, both organically and through acquisition. Andy has transformed the GRITIT Sales and Marketing function to set the foundations for GRITIT, and now also for NMC, to deliver and maintain marketleading growth. Andy brings to his new role a wealth of industry knowledge, customer insight and vital experience of leading and growing multi-service line solution businesses.
Andy said: “It’s a hugely exciting time to be taking the reins of this ambitious company. The acquisition of NMC supports and scales our expanding service line offering. Together with the very strong growth in our other non-winter service lines, this move has largely eliminated the traditional seasonal dependencies within the business, letting us deliver a greater number of service lines to our ever expanding customer base. At the very heart of GRITIT’s success is its market-leading technology platform. Our focus is on utilising this proprietary technology across all areas of the business to help our customers achieve greater commercial efficiency and to maintain our market-leading levels of industry SLA compliance.”
On handing over to Andy in March, Jason Petsch, GRITIT’s current CEO and founder, will transition to a Non-Executive Director position on the GRITIT Board.
Mark Rogerson, Chair of GRITIT Group, commented: “The evolution of GRITIT over the past few years has been truly remarkable in all senses. From humble beginnings, GRITIT is now emerging as one of the Service Sector’s shining stars, with huge potential for further growth. Not only does GRITIT’s differentiated operational technology enable it to lead the industry in service level terms, but it has created a unique platform that is highly scalable and adaptable across multiple service lines. The combination of clear strategy execution, stellar growth and the appointment of Andy as our new CEO is a very powerful one. My fellow board members and I are also delighted that Jason, who has been such an inspirational and visionary leader, will be remaining on the Board for the next stage of our exciting journey.”
News Quality of service underpins resilience for office working
While lockdown has seen offices close and brought tough times for many businesses, Dominic Ponniah – CEO of London-based Cleanology - says new contract wins show important trends for the future.
“Cleaning contractors gain valuable insight into the health and wellbeing of office working. What we’re seeing at Cleanology is that flexibility is key. While many cleaning firms have experienced a downturn, we recently won two new contracts that illustrate the resilience that comes with quality.” Ponniah said: “Alignment of values is crucial. Cleanology shares these values. We demand exceptionally high service from our teams and focus on quality of service. “Our relationship with the Work.Life, is based on similar ethics and values. We are both working towards certified B Corps status, and continuously work to improve sustainability. Cleanology already looked after one section of the estate; our excellent service and ability to adapt has resulted in the new contract expanding to cover the whole estate.”
Work.Life is known for its quality co-working spaces, and also offers a modern take on office management under the Yours by Work.Life brand. Cleanology has adapted its service to meet the needs of the 10 co-working organisations on its books. As well as delivering a flexible cleaning service, it also provides housekeepers who work more closely with the FM team.
Ponniah concluded: “Work spaces have undergone dramatic changes in the last year. Even offices that opened up after the first lockdown were asking a number of staff to work from home where possible, and facilities are reorganising, to create more space. Offices are changing but, with new contracts being signed, it is clear that the office is far from extinct.”
Cleanology also recently signed a contract with Brookfield Asset Management, its first contract in One Canada Square, Canary Wharf.
Established over 20 years ago, Cleanology provides professional office and commercial cleaning services, property maintenance and a wide range of support services across London and Manchester.

IS YOUR FLAT ROOF ESTATE... AN ASSET OR A LIABILITY?
The Government’s response to the Naylor Review acknowledged the importance of the collection of data to support strategic estate planning and stated:
reducing backlog maintenance not only provides a safer and higher quality estate but reduces running costs in the longer term.
A roof is a significant ‘out-of-sight’ asset and when its condition is unknown, often issues can develop over time.
Easily accessible data is a crucial element in managing any estate. Without reliable data, any long-term strategic approach is unattainable and the management of the estate budget is rendered a purely reactive one. Langley provides a long-term approach by creating a full asset management plan for your flat roof estate by carrying out a comprehensive roof condition survey. The data gathered then supports preventative planning and cost-effective budget management, this is achieved by minimising the risk of sudden unexpected remedial expenditure. If work is required immediately, we are a trusted single-source of responsibility and handle every aspect of your project, from initial consultations and design, right through to final installation, after sales care and maintenance - for peace of mind.
We provide systems that are durable, guaranteed, safe and fully compliant with Building Regulations.

How tech can make the world more sustainable
Technological advancements have helped humanity achieve many things, from creating machines smarter than ourselves, to producing viral cat videos that can be shared and seen worldwide. With global waste production to grow 70% by 2050, technological advancements can help increase recycling rates, assisting the move toward a circular economy.
The waste industry continues to innovate, helping to influence behaviour, increase recycling rates and improve operations. We have picked out some of our favorite solutions for offices, companies and communities, which are available today! Waste Innovators in the Heart of London
Bywaters, London’s leading sustainable waste management company, uses technological innovation to process waste and reduce CO2 emissions. Their Flagship Facility has the most extensive solar panel retrofit on an existing building in London. The 4,000 solar panels significantly reduce the facility’s environmental impact, generating 897,000 kWh per year, enough power to 225 houses annually.
Recently, Bywaters carried out a £7million upgrade to their vehicle fleet, reducing emissions associated with waste collections by up to 95% . Each vehicle is fitted with a Dynafleet system that monitors environmental performance and driver behaviour, ensuring every journey is made using the most efficient route.
Reducing waste using A.I
In the current telecommunications revolution, companies are using artificial intelligence (A.I.) to improve our way of working. Some communities and organisations have started to introduce A.I smart bins. These clever containers capture visualisations of the waste thrown away, and intelligent software uses IoT (Internet of Things) data to identify what materials the waste contains. After identification, the bin segregates the waste to its suitable waste stream and compresses the product, making source segregation easier whilst holding more waste than your standard bin. The U.K
is working hard to implement this A.I technology and is already trialing nationwide.
In movies, humans are frequently depicted fleeing Earth when it is no longer habitable. In reality, we have 129 million pieces of space junk orbiting our planet posing a threat to our planet and may avert us from exploring space, making inhabiting other planets impossible. To tackle this problem, NASA has created ‘the Deep Asteroid challenge’, inviting participants to come up with A.I technology to detect incoming comets and space junk that may harm our planet.
Wasteless, an Israeli startup, has developed a dynamic pricing algorithm for point of sales systems in retailers. The algorithm will track the expiry dates of perishable products in real-time and change its value based on its expiry date, incentivising the discounted products to be bought and used before it goes into waste. A retailer that used ‘Wasteless’ saw food waste decreased by 39% while boosting revenue by 110%. Technology changing the way we recycle
The best way to encourage better recycling practices is education. In order to tackle this global issue it’s important to raise awareness of correct and sustainable recycling methods. Smart bins that use behavioural technologies aim to educate, using innovations and experimental methods to influence behavioural change. Utilising behavioural technology will play a significant role in educating people on sustainability. Multiple countries have introduced community smart bins to track an individual’s recycling rates through computer chips; awarding them as they recycle.
Reverse vending machines contain similar technology to the community smart bins. These automated machines utilise modern technology to classify, sort, collect, and process various materials, offering a range of dynamic incentives such as cashback and discount vouchers designed to increase the recycling experience’s value. In 1984, Sweden launched a deposit return system for cans, and in 1994, one for plastic bottles. The country now has a recycling rate of 85.6% recycling rate for cans and plastic bottles, which is almost double what the U.K. recycles.
Some companies in the UK have started trials of these bins. Bywaters launched coffee cup reverse vending machines at three of London’s prestigious universities and have seen an increased recycling rate. To a better future!
Earth does not need us, but we need the earth. It is crucial to protect what the world has given us for future generations. Technological advancement will help us combat our greatest challenge; climate change. Innovations can convert waste into new products and produce clean energy, but to implement real change, we must modify our behaviour and expand our knowledge. Although modern technology provides us with fantastic eco friendly solutions, it’s up to us to change our lifestyle for the better.

News Plug and play CO2 monitor keeps your workplace safe
As offices begin to open up in the next few weeks, and safety comes to the fore, companies are being encouraged to install CO2 Monitors in the workplace.
Ventilation, in the current pandemic, is one of the most important factors in helping reduce the relative risk of the airborne transmission of COVID-19.
A report produced by Sage’s Environmental and Modelling Group (EMG), and endorsed by the Chartered Institute of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE), suggests that fresh air plays a significant role in keeping the virus at bay indoors, and that poor air quality could be highlighted with the use of a CO2 monitor.
In response, a UK manufactured, USB powered ‘plug and play’ CO2 monitor has been launched in 2021 to provide a cost-effective solution. The Vision CO2 Monitor helps determine if further ventilation is required by providing a clear digital readout and focuses on a bold traffic light display to indicate that further ventilation is required when it matters.
‘This CO2 monitor is particularly appropriate for offices, site cabins, and schools where there are installation constraints, facilitating a fast but reliable method of monitoring the risk of COVID transmission,’ commented Andy Green, who developed the unit.
Elevated CO2 levels not only provide an indication that airborne contaminants may be present, but they also reduce cognitive function, productivity and can have long term adverse effects on health and general wellbeing.
‘Most buildings are naturally ventilated and rely on opening windows for fresh air, or use air recirculation systems that have been switched off, so without a CO2 monitor there is no way of knowing if spaces such as offices and classrooms are adequately ventilated,’ commented Andy Green.
‘There are a number of ‘cheap’ units available online, however these focus on gimmick displays rather than the required traffic light indication. We also offer UK support with a guaranteed supply chain if larger quantities are required.’
‘The Vision CO2 Monitor removes any uncertainty and provides an immediate indication that further ventilation is needed,’ he added. ‘If risk reduction for COVID is an issue in your workplace or school I strongly recommend getting in touch,’ Andy concluded.

News Specialist collaboration delivers quality with minimal disruption
Effective teamwork has enabled occupants of Gateway Housing Association to have their 1930s housing estate brought up to modern day standards whilst still in situ, being able to get on with their day to day lives.
A major element of a refurbishment programme on the Poplar, London housing estate was the walkways. The walkways give access to all the flats above ground level on the two six-storey blocks. Water was penetrating through low door thresholds and exposed corridors were showing visible deterioration of the floor covering. Furthermore, the top floor walkway also served as a roof to a number of the dwellings; it was therefore essential to meet current insulation requirements, compliant with Building Regulations.
Project management from Faithorn Farrell Timms (FFT) entrusted Langley Waterproofing Systems Ltd to assess the condition of the walkways and roof. Langley undertook a comprehensive roof condition survey to confirm areas in urgent need of remedial work, compliance to Building Regulations. Main contractor Axis in turn called in Langley Approved Contractor Premier Roofing & Construction (PRC) to undertake the remedial works to the roof and walkways.
Langleys’ PR-15 and PR20 Pararapide Balcony and Walkways Systems were specified. The systems’ rapid curing time enabled the walkways to be upgraded with minimal disruption to tenants: the systems can cure in minutes and include a slipinhibiting finish. Both systems also have an excellent point load resistance, meet NHBC Technical Standards. Chapter 7.1 for roofs and balconies, and have been independently BBA-certified confirming Broof(4) fire classification.
PRC overlaid PR-15 Pararapide Balcony and Walkway System on all the cantilevered walkways, and PR-20 on all those walkways with homes beneath. Pararapide’s self-terminating properties meant it could abut cladding whilst still preventing weather ingress without the need to install separate cover flashings. To conform with current building regulations, the slip-inhibiting finish was further applied for optimum resident safety.
Greg Brown, FFT project manager, observed, “One of the main challenges faced was that the communal floor coverings had to be installed whilst residents were in situ, so the whole process had to be managed and monitored prudently.
Before After
The choice of a liquid system was crucial for that reason: it allowed for a quick installation by the contracting team and guaranteed a quick curing time.
Added Matt Walker from PRC, “We hadn’t used PR15 and PR-20 liquid systems before, but are glad we did! We now frequently recommend these solutions to our customers. It’s not just the quality and ease of the system, but the high level of technical support Langley brings as a flat roofing service provider and not just a supplier.”

News UAP Ltd unlocks the door to celebrations for its silver anniversary
The company maybe more familiar with plated steel, but it will be silver all the way for UAP Ltd in 2021 as the hardware specialist celebrates its silver anniversary after 25 years in business.
UAP first started trading as Universal Imports in July 1996 with a single product – a door knocker – and a makeshift bedroom office. By 2000, the company had moved to its HQ in North Manchester and changed its name to UAP. These days, it has grown to a £22 million business, selling more than 3,000 products across 25 countries with a portfolio of brands including Fullex, Locking Systems, Intelligent Hardware, TradeLocks and Firemongery.
David Jennings, CEO of UAP comments: “It seems like only yesterday that a good idea became a fledgling business, but so much has happened over the past 25 years and we have grown to become a substantial business, an innovator in our market and a respected supplier for both quality and service.
“Our anniversary provides an ideal milestone, not only to celebrate the company’s achievements but also to thank our customers, our supply chain partners and our team for supporting us and contributing to our success over the past 25 years. In many ways, it could not have come at a better time because, after the challenges of the pandemic, a reason to celebrate is just what we need right now and we have plans to keep the celebrations going all year!”
UAP’s plans for its 25th year in business will be unveiled as the company’s silver anniversary progresses, with a range of activities already in the pipeline.
“We are proud to be marking 25 years in business,” David adds, “and because we became a co-operative in 2019, now every member of our 80-strong team benefits from our continued success. We want to spend this year looking back but also, as we always have, focusing on the future and the innovation we can bring to the market over the next 25 years.” https://uapcorporate.com/

One simple yet effective nationwide solution for irregular waste streams
Irregular, small volumes of waste such as bulky or heavy waste that will not fit into regular bins but needs to be contained and removed quickly from sites can prove to be challenging for Facility Managers. Whilst regular bins are simply too small, large skips can take up too much space, take too long to fill and can be costly.
Using HIPPOBAGs to deal with your irregular waste streams and ad hoc waste events will provide you with a number of benefits in managing waste disposal across your regional or national estate. Our service is not a regular scheduled waste collection covered by a bin contract, you can use us for unexpected waste events whenever you need us. And instead of you needing to have multiple contracts you can benefit from one simple solution with standardised pricing and a standardised service nationwide.
Our HIPPOBAGs can be filled with heavy and bulky waste and are ideal for applications where a skip or larger container is not appropriate, like awkward locations or areas with access restrictions. HIPPOBAGs are non-bulky, lightweight and come flat packed, meaning that space can be saved on-site and bags can be carried easily and stored in vehicles or on properties. In addition, HIPPO’s reliable, flexible and convenient service allows the segregation of different types of waste from your facilities. This means that you can meet many of your Corporate Social Responsibilities (CSR) by easily increasing your recycling rates, minimising your environmental impact, reducing carbon footprint whilst also saving money.
Flat-packed and delivered to a location of your choice, HIPPOBAGS can easily be stored or shipped ready for use when needed – providing a flexible and instant waste solution for your site based
or mobile workforce • Able to fit where traditional skips cannot, HIPPOBAG can be placed in confined locations with restricted access and lifted over fences and walls as required, with our specialist vehicles – leaving no damage on the property they are placed • Once filled, arrange collection; fuss free, through our dedicated
Contact Centre, via phone or email. We’re continuously developing new ways to book collections, using the latest innovative technology available • Experience convenient and cost effective collection from our fully trained, uniformed and DBS checked drivers and fleet of customised 26 tonne vehicles.
HIPPO collects from anywhere on the UK mainland – ensuring a consistent service whether you have sites in one region or nationwide
Alternatively where access to waste is restricted, or when you want us to clear the waste for you, our Man and Van service (known as ‘Here to Clear’) is the perfect solution. Our branded Transit Tipper vans are double manned with our professional HIPPO employees and can hold up to 14 yards or 1 tonne of waste.
This solution can often be ideal for reactive waste requirements too, our Here to Clear Reactive provides rapid removal of unplanned waste – such as fly-tipping, emergency repair or site clearance. This form of waste can cause a number of issues, but with one nationwide solution and standardised service you can rest assured knowing that the waste will be swiftly and professionally removed.
We work with organisations of every size so rest assured that whatever your requirement we can offer a fantastic solution to fit your business needs.
