RDB Star Rating
RDB Star Rating was established by Sue Brand in 1997 to design and develop a national benchmark system for classifying care, services, and facilities at residential care homes.
The RDB model and assessment tool was developed after lengthy consultation with the broadest range of interested parties. It is client focused in its approach, responsive to the home‘s client group, and encompasses a diverse range of care standards, varying from the way personal care is delivered to the management of the home and its personnel.
It is now widely recognised that RDB Star Rating is a leading authority on measuring care ‘quality’ provision on a scale of two to five stars. The importance of the scheme is to enhance transparency to prospective customers and purchasers of care, enabling them to make an informed choice when they are at their most vulnerable.
The RDB Star rating system is designed as a dynamic and responsive measurement tool to ensure the assessment is comprehensive, dependable and focused on the needs of the residents
The RDB accreditation/Inspection is conducted annually and is holistic, objective and development in its approach and takes between two to five days, depending on the registration category and the size of the home.

A Pothole, Outsourced IT and Microsoft Remote Desktop Story…
As in the classic convention of fairy tale storytelling, it typically starts off with a hero or heroine performing a task and then being rewarded. The best of them usually has an insurmountable event and then some magical assistance thrown in for good measure!
The Cast
The Handsome Prince – Who else? The pothole played by the pothole The fire breathing dragon – the car relay service The magical assistance – Microsoft Remote desktop solution
My story is set against the backdrop of the A27. Whilst the car in the picture is not my car, the pot-hole in question that took out my tire, could have swallowed a 4x4. The glass-shattering bang that came with the tire exploding would have made even the most seasoned SO-19 officers duck down.
However, it was a sunny day and my car had already sent a text notification automatically, to the breakdown service. I glanced at my watch, it said 11:30 am.
17:27pm, the breakdown service finally turned up…
I’m sure you can imagine what I thought about that. The absolutely killer line, was when the driver turned up and said:
‘I was just around the corner, not 10 minutes away, but they sent me somewhere else’.
So that was my Friday. All the work I had planned to do. Luckily, I had my laptop with me. I switched on the mobile hotspot facility in my car, powered up my laptop and connected to my office files, using Microsoft remote desktop app. The RDS App allowed me full access to all our company files, so that I could work on proposals, create documents, go over various projects, sign off on orders, all without a problem.
So, for my reward – RDS saved the day. Things can go south with your IT, so it’s good to have a backup plan – where you can work remotely from the cloud, with a software package in place to get your business back up and running just when you run into life’s potholes.
No dragons were harmed in the writing of this story.

How Extech Cloud helped a start-up business in the financial sector
When financial services provider, Verdant Financial Planning was founded in 2020, the founder recognised the importance of choosing a dependable, flexible and easily accessible IT solution, which has supported the company in getting to where it is today.
Andrew Hookway
Managing Director, Extech Cloud
Putting its IT system completely in the Cloud with Extech Cloud from the start has not only helped Verdant Financial Planning to run smoothly and effectively, it has also enabled successful growth. The business began with just one employee, growing to a team of eight staff, just eighteen months later.
Verdant Financial Planning originally approached Extech Cloud for expert advice because we have experience working with start-up businesses in the wealth management industry. On the guidance of the highly experienced and professional Extech Cloud team, Verdant Financial Planning opted to position its IT network completely in the Cloud.
As the team today is based in different parts of the country, the flexibility of the IT
solution provided by Extech Cloud has also been valuable, enabling collaboration across multiple locations.
Being established in the Cloud is a step towards one of Verdant Financial Planning’s long-term goals, which is to become a carbon neutral business. Extech Cloud has also helped with specifying suitable hardware, providing support in backing up valuable data, and ensuring compliance and cybersecurity, alongside day-to-day support as needed.
Find out more about how we helped Verdant Financial Planning, by reading the case study on the Extech Cloud website.

Bluelite Group announced as finalists in prestigious Regional FSB Awards
The Bluelite Graphics Group has been announced as a finalist in the Environmental/ Sustainability category of the South East Region Federation of Small Business Awards 2022.
Lorraine Avery
Managing Director, Bluelite Group
The award is designed to recognise the most ethical, socially responsible or green business that has helped to drive environmental improvements across their business and/or the wider green economy.
Bluelite, based in Burgess Hill, West Sussex, has been at the forefront of vehicle livery design and application for more than 30 years and places sustainability at the core of its operations, as Managing Director, Lorraine Avery explains: “We are delighted to be shortlisted for this award which recognises the journey that Bluelite is on to minimise its carbon footprint and reduce its environmental impact, in partnership with its employees, suppliers and customers.
“It’s also good to see that our core markets of publicly funded emergency services fleets are increasingly focused on supply chains contributing to sustainability goals.
“Bluelite is accredited to ISO 14001 for environmental management and we use independent assessors to chart our progress on our sustainability journey; we constantly challenge ourselves to do better.” In recent years, Bluelite has introduced a number of measures to reduce its environmental impact, including investing in renewable energy generation to reduce its carbon emissions, along with the use of low solvent inks, LED lighting and adoption of electric vehicle service support.
The awards event is being held on 25th March at Hickstead International Showground, Haywards Heath, when the winners of all 12 categories will be announced. The winner from each category secures a spot in the prestigious UK final later in the year and a chance to be crowned the UK Small Business of the Year.

A tale of two products – 5 routes for innovation in an SME
Will Patrick, Commercial Director at FermionX Group on how different approaches to innovation has resulted in 50 years of a success.
Will Patrick
Commercial Director FermionX Ltd
As a contract electronics manufacturer, this year also marks some important milestones for two of our key product brands, something we wouldn’t be doing without a focus on innovation.
2022 marks the 50th anniversary of our Seward Stomacher® laboratory blenders, 2023 marks the 10-year anniversary of our Airbox Asbestos Air Sampling Pumps. Both manufactured by us at our Worthing factory, two very different products, but both sharing a common theme. Each are top of their field in technological innovation and global sales. Something of an achievement for a family-run CEM from West Sussex.
Innovation through legacy
Our Seward Stomacher® paddle blender range, used in sample preparation microbiology, is referenced in thousands of protocols and scientific papers. Invented in 1972 at the very start of the processed food era, it was created to prepare samples for food manufacturers. It was critical in working out ‘use by’ dates and food safety, and still is. Today, Seward Stomacher® blenders are used across a huge range of applications, from cancer treatments to cutting edge microbiome research. Over 8 million samples are prepared every day in a Seward Stomacher® paddle blender.
Innovation through peer learning
Innovation has been vital in keeping Seward and the Stomacher® lab blenders at the forefront of sample preparation. Stuart Ray, our resident microbiologist and European Sales Director is always on hand to discuss new protocols with customers. His scientific background has been critical in our ability to offer customers added value. This peerto-peer relationship has played a large part in the development of new products, from sample bags designed to survive intense heat and processing, to the latest Seward Stomacher® EVO paddle blender.
Innovation through necessity
In an industry where single use plastics have long been a necessary part of the sample testing process (it’s not possible to reuse or recycle plastics that have been contaminated by pathogens), the Stomacher® EVO lab blender offers the chance for laboratories to reduce their plastic waste by way of a patented ‘shelf’ that can be inserted into the Stomacher’s® chamber. This simple innovation means that labs can use smaller plastic bags for the same tests. This has the potential to change plastic consumption and waste disposal costs for laboratories around the world (remember those 8 million samples prepared a day in a Stomacher®, each one in a single use plastic bag!). A huge reduction in plastic use and waste in one innovative change.
Innovation through common ground
Asbestos testing and removal regulations differ country to country, but asbestos is a global problem affecting the health of millions of people. We didn’t want to simply focus on creating an Airbox Asbestos air testing pump that delivered the minimum in terms of current standards and regs. Instead, we talked to global customers, we researched global regulatory standards and we developed products to suit each market – to a point. We very quickly realised that to try and appeal to every customer would create an impossible production line. Working with end users and distributors, we identified target markets and focused on building a key range of five Airbox Asbestos Air Sampling pumps. We created a product offer that we could maximise on our production line, but one that had a solution for our main markets and beyond.
Innovation through exception
Alongside our core products, we designed an Airbox asbestos pump that goes beyond most global asbestos regulations. With a range of features including flow compensation, live Bluetooth data, and downloadable test reports, the Airbox Dataflow future proofs our product line for the next few years, or at least until global regulations catch up with the level of compliance the Dataflow has to offer.
FermionX - Innovation in practice
So, what is best practise when it comes to being an innovative SME? Within the FermionX Group, we are celebrating anniversaries because we have looked to innovate our products, but only when we can see a clear purpose and deliverable advantage. Here’s to the next 50 years!

25 years on: the impact of technology on ABC Translations
This June marks the 25th anniversary of ABC Translations; we’ve been thinking about how our business and indeed the world of work have changed in that time, but also how the fundamentals have stayed the same.
Technology has, naturally, been the biggest driver of change. We thought we were fairly tech-savvy when we started out – we had a website, email, broadband rather than dialup (remember that nasty modem noise?) and the latest version of Microsoft Office. However, even then, the bulk of work arrived to us by post, fax and phone, and most of our customers wanted hard copies of translations mailed to them.
A quarter of a century on, and 95% of documents are received and sent electronically. Moreover, with the current pandemic even law firms and courts are beginning to accept electronic copies of certified documents. All our files are stored in the Cloud, we use online systems for banking, accounting and credit checking. Our Zoho account incorporates our CRM, project management system, electronic mailing, website chat function and enquiry forms – things we couldn’t have considered back then.
Many more translators now use CAT (computer-aided translation) tools too. These are not the same as machine or automatic translation (think Google Translate) but include translation memory software and terminology management software which allow linguists to reuse previously translated text and automatically search for approved translations of technical and specialist terms. These can speed up the translation process and assure consistency, whilst maintaining the human touch necessary to ensure accuracy of context.
Covid has accelerated the technological changes; no surprise there. For our interpreters, their day-to-day has altered almost unrecognisably. There have always been the occasional telephone assignments, but the vast majority of jobs took place in person: in barrister’s chambers, law offices, courts, prisons, hospitals, conference rooms. Now an online meeting via Zoom, Teams or the bespoke court video service is the norm, and in-person bookings with the associated expense of additional time and travel are much rarer. Longer assignments with multiple attendees will always work better in person, but a short conversation to gather information or explain the meaning of documents can be achieved much more simply.
As for those of us who used to be based in the office, we’ve embraced working from home and continue to do so; it’s made us work smarter and given the team a better work/life balance. Of course, our translators and interpreters have always worked remotely, but it was a definite shift of culture for all in-house staff. Teams has been our lifeline; we ‘chat’ all day, both about work and life in general, share files, make jokes, have meetings via phone and video, answer and transfer calls.
One positive side-effect of remote working is a major reduction in our energy usage as a business. We are now almost paperless, with a corresponding drop in our need for other stationery: pens, clips, staples, envelopes, print consumables. No one is commuting to the office any longer (just as well, with the current cost of fuel!); many more meetings are held online, and those that aren’t are usually accessed via public transport. We’re well aware of our digital carbon footprint though, so we continue to ensure that we don’t send more emails (or copy in more recipients) than required and that our website is as eco-friendly as possible. Digital technology is powerful, but we need to remain aware of the hidden environmental costs.
A couple of the fundamentals haven’t really changed in any material way, though. Attention to detail, thorough proofreading and a good knowledge of our clients are still the cornerstone of our service and always will be. And still of vital importance is the contact between staff, translators, interpreters and clients. We might all be working from home, but we still value our real-life catch ups over brunch to discuss strategy and brainstorm. Even if we have an online quote system, we can still chat to customers by phone. Some correspondence with suppliers might be automated, but it’s always important to have times when we’re including chat about holidays, family, theatre shows we’ve seen, festivals we’re looking forward to. That essential human touch, that makes the work worthwhile. Where technology aids the conversation, rather than hindering it.

Introducing Cellnex UK
Reflecting on what has been the most extraordinary two years, I have been struck by how telecommunications and digital connectivity have served as the lifeblood for businesses, families, friends and communities. Indeed, I hate to think how much worse the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic would have been had it hit 20 years ago - when the UK’s fixed and mobile telecoms infrastructure had a fraction of the capacity of today and before the advent of social media and digital apps.
As the world adapted to the so-called ‘new normal’ ways of working, learning, and connecting from afar, Cellnex UK also underwent significant changes in how we work, all the while operating as a provider of critical national infrastructure and upgrading the infrastructure that supports the UK’s 4G and 5G mobile networks.
So who are we?
Cellnex UK is part of Cellnex Telecom, Europe’s leading mobile telecoms infrastructure provider. Headquartered in Barcelona, Spain, Cellnex Telecom operates in 12 European countries. Since 2019 Cellnex has committed investments of £6.1billion in the UK including the acquisition of Arqiva’s telecoms business in July 2020.
Cellnex UK is the country’s largest independent mobile telecoms infrastructure provider, with millions of people relying on us for connectivity every day. We partner with all four of the UK’s Mobile Network Operators, the emergency services and hundreds of private businesses to meet the ever-increasing demand for ultra-fast connectivity. Our work is integral to the roll-out of 5G, which is forecast to boost the UK economy by £15.75 billion by 2025.
Closing the digital divide
A key area of focus for Cellnex UK is helping to reduce digital exclusion, a problem both highlighted and exacerbated by the pandemic. Further to ensuring that our infrastructure provides connectivity to even the most rural areas in the UK, we’re supporting the Government in its ‘levelling up’ programme, aiming to ensure that no place or person is left behind as our society becomes increasingly digitised.
Last year, Cellnex undertook significant activity to support local Covid-19 relief across all countries that the Group operates in. This funding has allowed us to work with local charities and NGOs to help those most vulnerable to digital exclusion. An example of this is our partnership with The UK Community Foundations: together, we’re providing devices, connectivity and digital skills training to ensure people from disadvantaged or rural communities can learn, work, apply for jobs and connect with family and friends virtually.
We’re also spearheading a campaign called “Speed Up Britain”, which calls for reforms to the Electronic Communications Code to enable the UK to deploy connectivity upgrades faster and more effectively. The campaign aims to close loopholes that are slowing down the UK’s progress in achieving 95 per cent 4G coverage in the UK and that are ultimately disadvantaging those without reliable connectivity.
A connected future
Looking ahead to five, ten, fifteen years from now, I truly believe that our work will drive sustained economic and social progress through connectivity and innovation. Our infrastructure provides high connectivity for transport systems such as railways and ports, supports the technologies required to develop connected smart-cities, and boosts the entertainment and leisure industries by creating fully connected experiences in stadia and shopping centres.
In 2022, we’re laying the foundations for a fully connected future, and our work begins right in the heart of Sussex. Last year, we were awarded a 25-year contract with Network Rail to provide uninterrupted, high-speed connectivity for passengers on the Brighton-London mainline route. At its peak, 1,700 trains and 300,000 people pass through the route each day. Work for this project is well underway, with fibre already deployed along a large section of the track from Three Bridges down towards Brighton. Through a combination of improved cellular internet, mobile reception and fibre services, this project will make a real difference to passengers and local communities all along the route.
Our private networks business is also a key priority. Offering high bandwidth, low latency and excellent security, private networks are central in helping organisations in industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, ports and construction unlock the benefits of digital transformation and Industry 4.0.This year will see us continue the development of a 5G private network for Bristol Port and Gravity Smart Campus with our partners at WECA (West of England Combined Authority), and begin the deployment of our 10-year contract to provide a private 5G network at BasingView, Basingstoke’s central business district.
Cellnex UK and The Sussex Chamber of Commerce
I’m very excited to be joining the Sussex Chamber of Commerce and to start building new relationships with local organisations and communities. With one of our biggest long-term projects taking place here, Sussex is incredibly important to our business, and I look forward to future opportunities for collaboration and partnerships.

How to talk to about mental health at work
Employers have a legal responsibility under the Health & Safety at Work Act to take care of their employees.
But what happens when we notice that someone is struggling? It can be tempting to avoid those difficult conversations. The ones where you speak about things that aren't comfortable; pain, fear, anxiety, mental ill health. Yet these are the conversations that make a real difference to people's lives.
Bringing things into the open makes them more manageable. Discussing things makes it easier to understand others. Being open to hearing how others feel, helps you to understand and support them. You are not there to diagnose or tell someone what to do.
Although it can be difficult to know what to say on what can be a sensitive subject, your listening ear will help someone to feel better, or to find the courage to seek support with their health and wellbeing.
If you aren't sure where to start, then check out our five key tips for a healthy conversations around mental wellbeing, and see some of the suggested questions below. This isn’t an exhaustive list and its not designed to be prescriptive, just a pointer in the right direction….
1. Ask open questions
And listen carefully to the answers, so the person feels heard and understood. It's OK to ask open questions such as "How does that affect you?" or "What does that feel like?" Open questions allow the person space to express themselves and allow you to gain greater understanding of how the issue is affecting the person.
2. Time and place.
When discussing something that is potentially difficult, it can be helpful to broach the subject whilst you are doing something else, such as driving, or going for a walk. Being next to each other and chatting naturally rather than face to face where you can't look anywhere but each other can be less stressful and make it easier for someone to open up.
3. Don't try to fix it.
It's so tempting, particularly when it is someone you really care about, to try to resolve all the issues, but it is often more helpful to just listen carefully. The person may have tried a number of ways to resolve the problems they are facing so unless you have been asked directly for advice, it’s better to just listen.
4. Don't treat them any differently.
If you want to provide support then do the things you would normally do. Sometimes the simplest things like a message to say Hi! or sharing a silly video, or a memory of a good time that you shared can be enough. Let them know you are thinking of them.
5. Be patient.
People may not be willing to open up right away. But if they feel that you are willing to have the conversation then they are more likely to seek you out when they are ready to talk.
90%
90% of people still fear discrimination at work if they reported a mental health issue. Open conversations about mental health are more important than ever.
Anna at Stratus Coaching is aiming to change the conversation on mental health. Together we can understand a bit more about mental health and wellbeing, overcome stigma and discrimination, and learn how to spot the signs of someone who may be struggling and start a conversation.
If you would like a list of conversation starters on mental health, details of upcoming webinars, Mental Health First Aid training, in-house training or advice around developing a wellbeing strategy for your teams, then please contact Anna Golawski:
