Mitre Linen, exceeding expectations since 1946
“The kit n is p fect. It’s ng” The impressive Ynyshir Hall Hotel, part of the Relais & Châteaux group, recently added to its many awards when its Michelin-starred restaurant received a new design and installation by C&C Catering Equipment Ltd. The scheme was awarded the Overall Winner Grand Prix trophy at the 2016 CEDA Awards, and our team at C&C couldn’t be more delighted. Not only did we work closely with their Michelin-starred Head Chef Gareth Ward and the late co-owner of the hotel Mrs Joan Reen, we also worked hand in hand with many of our trusted supplier partners. The result: An installation that completely eclipsed the existing catering facilities. An award winning installation no less. Sometimes we feel it’s better to let our customers do the talking though. So, in the words of Joan Reen, “The kitchen is perfect. It’s stunning, and you can’t get better than that”. We couldn’t have put it better ourselves. To find out more about the project, visit us online. Together, we make it happen.

Robert De Niro bids for new 83-bed hotel in London Oscar-winning actor Robert De Niro has submitted a planning application to create a new 83-bedroom boutique in London’s Covent Garden, which would mark his first hotel project outside the US. Boutique Hotelier reported in January that the Hollywood star could be tipped to enter the hotel market in London and now an official planning application has been submitted to Westminster City Council. The legendary actor, together with Capital & Counties Properties (Capco) and BD Hotels, already operates celebrity favourite The Greenwich in New York and is now bidding to imitate this success in the UK. De Niro Ira Drukier and Richard Born – the team behind The Greenwich Hotel in New York’s Tribeca district
– hope to start construction on the site in 2017 with a scheduled completion date in 2019. The Wellington Hotel, as it would be known, would include spa facilities, two restaurants, a deli/ cafe and a members’ club, spanning a block of six adjacent buildings in Covent Garden. As well as The Greenwich Hotel, which opened in 2008, De Niro also owns the Nobu Hotel Manila in the Philippines. De Niro said London was “one of the most exciting and cosmopolitan cities in the world”. “The Wellington Hotel would honour the heritage of the area, while
bringing the best of what we’ve done in New York to London,” he added. Capco has owned Covent Garden for 10 years, and has brought a number of new leisure retailers to the area in recent years, including up-market restaurant Sushisamba, which is due to open later this year. Sarah-Jane Curtis, director of Capco’s Covent Garden holdings, said the hotel would be the first landmark hotel for the estate.
US hotelier loses battle with pop star Katy Perry for boutique hotel at former convent A US restaurateur has lost a battle to transform a former convent in LA into a new boutique hotel, after pop star Katy Perry won the rights to convert the property into her next home.
Hotelier & Hospitality Design
Dana Hollister struck a $15.5m deal last year to turn the 22,000 sq ft mansion in Downtown Los Angeles into a boutique hotel, but church officials, the Roman Catholic archbishop of LA and the archdiocese, has since made their own agreement to sell the property to Perry for $14.5m.
6
The deal has caused major controversy with five elderly nuns who used to live at the convent and claimed they were the ones with the rights to sell the building, a claim that has since been overruled by a judge at the Los Angeles superior court. Just over two weeks ago, the singer and the archdiocese appeared to have won a victory when the judge ruled that the church officials had the right to sell the property rather than the sisters. A motion has since been filed by lawyers for Sister Rita Callanan and Sister Catherine Rose Holzman, who object to the project on financial grounds after Hollister offered more money than Perry.
The pop star, whose songs include I Kissed a Girl, even performed a private gospel session for the sisters in a bid to change their minds, but Sister Rita has since been quoted by the Los Angeles Times as saying: “I wasn’t happy with any of it”.

Lucinda Rogers to Exhibit at L’Escargot On the 7th of June 2016 artist Lucinda Rogers will showcase her most important restaurant and food drawings, many commissioned by Britain’s leading newspapers and magazines between 1993 and 2016. The iconic drawings will be hung on the walls of London’s most emblematic French restaurant, L’Escargot. Lucinda Rogers to Exhibit at L’Escargot - Restaurant Drawings Historic and Contemporary 2 The showcase will include pieces drawn for Andrew Lloyd Webber’s column for The Telegraph “A Matter of Taste”, which from 1996-2000 featured some of the most notable restaurants in London; Petrus, Marco Pierre White’s Belvedere and The Square. The exhibition will give guests a snapshot of the 90’s restaurant scene where nouvelle cuisine gave way to the rise of the British chef patron, highlighting some of the top restaurants in Britain. Bringing the subject into the present, to celebrate Soho’s thriving restaurant scene, the show will include new drawings of iconic and enduring Soho venues: L’Escargot, Bar Italia, Maison Bertaux and others.
24-hour restaurant to open at the City’s tallest skyscraper Operators are being sought to run a 24hour restaurant at the 22 Bishopsgate tower, which is set to become the City’s tallest skyscraper. According to BigHospitality’s sister site MCA, the central London leisure team at CBRE has been instructed to find operators for a 30,000 sq.ft rooftop restaurant/club unit at the site. It will join London’s other 24-hour restaurants including nearby Duck & Waffle at 110 Bishopsgate and Polo Bar outside Liverpool Street Station.
At 278m the £1bn 62-storey glass and steel building will be almost three times the height of Big Ben when it is completed in 2019. It falls just short of London’s tallest building the Shard, which is 310m high. Seb Howard, director at CBRE, told MCA: “The CBRE London leisure team including Cecelia Hale have continued to enjoy resounding success in winning a number of new Landlord instructions in central London and the City.
“For us, 22 Bishopsgate as one of London’s most coveted leisure instructions is the jewel in the crown and will provide us a great platform to increase the firm’s existing global network and our own exposure to the international market.” The £1bn development was green-lit in April following a ‘right to light’ dispute brought by dozens of buildings around the site that threatened to stop its construction. However, the City of London authorities overruled the challenge after deciding the scheme would result in ‘significant improvements’ to the local area.

Plans on the developer’s website also include space for street food vendors and restaurants on the lower floors, designed to create a ‘constant buzz of activity’.

New DishTemp Commercial Dishwasher Thermometer
T
he new DishTemp thermometer from ETI Ltd is designed to sit inside a commercial dishwasher simulating a plate and accurately recording the maximum surface temperature during the wash cycle. Designed for everyday commercial use the unit incorporates a durable water-tight seal rated to IP66.
Featuring just one on/off push button the DishTemp is easy to use, and the clear LCD display indicates the current and maximum temperatures over the range of 0 to 90 °C with a resolution of 0.1 °C/°F and an accuracy of ±0.5 °C. Supplied with a traceable certificate of calibration at one temperature point (71°C), the DishTemp allows users to comply with current UK guidelines and US FDA food code requirements for monitoring the wash cycle in commercial dishwashers. Using the DishTemp eliminates the need for costly and inaccurate test strips or stem thermometers that don’t stay in place during the wash cycle and often don’t record the temperature at the plate surface.
Hotelier & Hospitality Design
The DishTemp thermometer (order code 810-280) is competitively priced at £25 each (exclusive of VAT and carriage), available direct from www.etiltd.com

BRINGING HOME THE BEACON! Zapper launches innovative beacon technology and rolls out with CAU restaurants across the UK Zapper, the fast growing mobile payment and data insights platform, has created its own Z-Beacon Bluetooth technology which is being deployed in over 1,000 restaurants bars and pubs across the UK. This revolutionary system empowers businesses to directly communicate with both their customers and Zapper users via their mobile, either in the venue or within a local radius.
Hotelier & Hospitality Design
CAU has been partnered with Zapper for over a year and jumped at the chance to deploy Zapper’s revolutionary technology into its 17 restaurants across the UK.
16
Charley Springall, Head of Marketing, CAU said, “At CAU we believe in fresh ingredients, relaxed but efficient service and a fun environment. Zapper is great as it complements our beliefs whilst simply speeding up payment at the end of the meal. More importantly our customers have embraced the app – so much so, we have rolled out the Zapper solution, and its Z-Beacon technology, to all 17 UK sites.” An innovative, time saving and cost effective business tool, the Z-Beacon can perform multiple tasks. These include; messages or alerts sent to nearby Zapper users about events or seasonal products, notification when a Zapper customer arrives for a personal introduction and sending bespoke offers to reward customers before they’ve even left a venue. These capabilities allow venues to effectively drive footfall and increase
transactions, without the need for the current costly and labour intensive research or reward solutions. Zapper enables users to scan a unique QR code, settling their bill in seconds. Whilst the Zapper app enables fast and secure mobile payments, the devil is truly in the detail. With every transaction, valuable user insights are captured allowing venues to directly reward customers based on previous purchase habits. Using the Zapper solution, venues are also able to collate instant user feedback and converse on a personal level. This creates a more engaging, customer-centric environment to aid community growth and increase revenue. James Sykes-Hagen, Director of Business Development, Zapper UK, comments, “Zapper’s revolutionary Z-Beacon technology is visibly disrupting the dining industry as venues relish the ability to instantly communicate with customers via mobile. The new digital leaflet, with tailored messages highlighting daily specials, events and seasonal promotions visible to passing customers. With many of our partnered venues already enjoying the benefits, this is the ideal tool to directly engage with current customers and attract new ones.” Zapper already has thousands of restaurants using the system internationally. The Zapper app is available for Android, iOS and Windows Phone platforms. For more information about Zapper please email; restaurants@zapper.com or call 0333 370 4414
The Three Hills Pub, Bartlow bought by local businessman Chris Field, a local businessman, has recently acquired The Three Hills Pub in Bartlow, Cambridgeshire. The Three Hills Public House is a Grade II listed 17th century timber framed building in the heart of Bartlow. Originally opened as an alehouse in 1847 it is the only remaining pub and community facility within the village.
Chris Field said, “I am extremely excited about our plans for the pub, which has been the heart of Bartlow village since 1847. We believe strongly in the importance of such assets to the local community, and are keen to retain the tradition and heritage of this countryside pub, whilst introducing the modernisation needed to bring it into the 21st
century. We want The Three Hills Bartlow to regain its former reputation as a friendly country pub, and to be a true taste of the great British countryside.�
stylish and comfortable bedrooms, car parking and a beautiful garden at the rear which will be safe for children.
The Three Hills will be extensively renovated and refurbished, with newly designed and extended eating facilities, a new bar area, 6
Planning permission has been applied for, and the hope is that The Three Hills will be welcoming guests as early as November 2016.

The pub is named after the nearby three hills or Tumuli, ancient burial mounds originally part of a seven mound group. These mounds, the largest of which is 45ft high, are considered to be the largest in Europe, and thought to be Roman in origin.

The right glass, the right gin, and a winning team – Amber Taverns’ recipe for success At a time when so many pubs are closing, it is fascinating to see how the successful NW-based pub group, Amber Taverns, has grown and flourished. Seven years ago, Amber comprised just 10 pubs in the North West of England; now there are 117 outlets across the country. They have opened approximately one new pub per month – and the expansion continues with at least five planned over the coming weeks and months.
Gary Roberts, Operations Director, founder and a shareholder in the business, puts success down to picking great people and serving great drinks – like Brockmans Gin, of which he, and his customers, are huge fans. “We have a unique operator agreement and give the people who run our pubs a percentage of turnover and a large amount autonomy on how they operate”. The ‘semiunbranded’ outlets enable managers to take ownership. They pick their people carefully. “Some are former tenants of other pubs but our recruitment policy means that we also often partner with people who have never worked in the industry. They bring different skill sets but, most importantly, we recruit people who have a great personality. No one wants to drink in a pub where the landlord has had a worse day than you – and shows it. You come to our pubs for a great time: and our team are intent on great drinks, served happily”.
Hotelier & Hospitality Design
Amber Taverns’ management team spends an enormous amount on its buildings. When they buy an outlet, they refurbish to high standards. Importantly, for Gary Roberts, it’s not just the customer space that is important. “We refurbish everything - including giving the landlords high quality accommodation. If they are happy upstairs in their flat above the pub, they’ll be happy downstairs serving customers too,” he says.
18
Training and support is also important. Whilst there is autonomy, enabling the managers to take ownership, they always have input and a safety net of the regional managers and head office. It’s a formula that is clearly working.
served in a straight glass rather than the bowl she’d enjoyed before, she switched to half a pint of lager instead. “Because we didn’t have the right glass, we made an 85 pence sale instead of a sale worth over £5 and we failed to serve the customer the drink that she really wanted. That rang bells with me,” says Gary. After this observation, reviewing the enormous space in Bolton, the idea of Hogarth’s Gin Palaces was born. There are now seven and not one is in the obvious metropolitan club and bar centres like Manchester, Leeds or London. In addition to the original Gin Palace in Bolton, these Victoriana offerings have been opened in Preston, Ilkeston, Wakefield, South Shields, Swansea and, most recently, Leicester. The décor is rich woodwork, stained glass and the cosiness combined with grandeur that you would association with a Victorian Gin Palace. Each operates slightly differently. In Bolton for example, there is a mezzanine and a stage where live music is a popular feature. There is sport but also a snug area for those who want to talk not view entertainment. Despite the name, these seven establishments are 75% traditional pub, with gin and other premium spirits accounting for the remaining 25% of sales. They stock 158 gins across the estate with most Gin Palaces listing around 130. “Brockmans Gin is one of the top three everywhere,” says Gary Roberts. “It’s our entry to the category. When people say they dislike gin, the Hogarth’s Gin Palace bartenders are likely to tell them ‘You do – you just haven’t found the gin you like. Yet!’ We serve them a Brockmans and Ginger Ale with blueberries and blackberries and suddenly they love gin. At least, they love Brockmans Gin”.
It is obvious, however, from speaking with Gary that success has also come from the business acumen and attention to detail of the management team. When they bought a Varsity pub in Bolton– “very industrial, all concrete and girders” – Gary Roberts said they asked themselves if they could do something different with it.
Until recently, Brockmans has only been available in Hogarth’s but in recent weeks the entire estate stocks it. The management team sees the potential. They have invited Brockmans’ Brand Ambassador for the UK, Mike Whatmough, to run a series of masterclasses for the staff and to launch an internal cocktail development completion. “Brockmans is spearheading our new cocktails,” says Gary Roberts. Brockmans, often dubbed a ‘gin like no other’ is proving its worth in this exceptional group of pubs.
Here’s where the attention to detail kicks in. He spotted a female customer ordering a gin and tonic but, when it was

Bedding & Linen We’ve all experienced walking into a hotel bedroom for the first time. Our eyes go straight to the bed; Does it look inviting, will we sleep in complete comfort, are the sheets crisp and white? The bathroom gets the same treatment. We look at the towels, if they’re thick, luxurious and impeccably presented, they pass the test.
Hospitality and accommodation businesses have plenty of things to worry about, so a reliable linen hire and laundry service, backed up with excellent service and quality is essential in the smooth running of a successful hotel or guest house. Johnsons Stalbridge Linen Services started providing contract free laundry and linen hire service to the hotel and catering trade in 1975, with 40 years experience in the business we are well aware of the importance of a reliable and quality laundry service. Quality control checks to ensure that all of our customers receive the highest quality bed and bath linen and they are available under the Stalbridge contract free terms with the ability to change your requirements whenever necessary. We specialise in the hire of premium quality linen, suitable for luxury establishments that wish to ensure their guests complete satisfaction. With a delivery service covering most of the UK, high quality products, experienced staff, and a willingness to please that is second to none, you can have complete confidence in our ability to meet your needs. Our range of kitchen linen is all about choice and flexibility, which is why our Easy Chef rental is as easy as 3, 2, 1. We offer three fantastic ranges of jackets, trousers and aprons, you will only have to wait a maximum of two weeks before your staff are in their new uniforms and we only require one month’s notice should you change your mind.
Whilst you could opt to purchase your own linen, this approach is often more difficult and expensive than it may at first appear. Buying a large quantity of hotel or restaurant linen can be a very expensive undertaking and having to replace them on a regular basis means that costs soon mount up. Fresh linen, wash and pressed to a high quality and returned on time: this is what we offer. Let Stalbridge take care of all your linen issues while you focus on attending to your guests’ other needs.

difficult to grow as three different companies, so this ensures our future as the leading global supplier and distributor of textiles.”
However, whilst the 150 year old brand will now be operating solely as Vision, the heritage rich Irish name will be kept alive, as it lends its name to the group’s luxury hospitality range of products.
What can customers of Hilden and Liddell expect now? Laurie says: “As Hilden and Liddell have been under the Vision umbrella for so long already it has been a very seamless integration. Therefore, not much will change. Customers can still expect to speak and deal with the same people every day and receive and order the same great product. The only difference will be is that these products will be sold by Vision and their account managers will work for Vision.”
Laurie Thomas, MD of Vision Support Services explains; “We bought Liddell out of administration in 2008 as we felt it was a niche brand with a prestigious customer base. We’ve worked hard to build this over the years, with Liddell utilising our global network off overseas offices and manufacturing and distribution partners.

“The brand is now where we want it to be and so integrating it fully into Vision’s operations was the next logical step.”

Vision has also integrated the Hilden brand into its business, Hilden – dating back to the 18th century, has become Vision’s performance range of linen. Laurie continues: “Uniting our brands in this way and becoming one global company with these core product ranges has allowed us to strengthen our proposition in the market place and further paves the pathway to unprecedented growth. It was
Laurie stressed: “The only changes our customers will notice are positive ones. This move will eventually allow us to offer more competitive pricing, an enhanced service, a wider product range and allow us to focus more on product innovation.” Vision Support Services is the leading distributor and supplier of specialist, performance and luxury textiles to global leaders in hospitality, healthcare and retail markets.

Hotelier & Hospitality Design
It is always good to start with brief description of each pillow on your menu, this may entail the filling type, what makes each individual pillow distinct, the fabric of the cover and the type of support it offers.

The Menu Layout Dividing your menu in to sections is also a great idea, for example, soft or firm, natural or fibre will help your guests to easily select their preference. Additionally, you could use icons, such as a hypoallergenic icon or an icon to indicate whether the pillow is soft or firm, this will help your guests quickly identify the pillow’s features.

The range was added to its existing spa collection of super soft white and coloured towels, bathrobes and slippers at the end of 2015.
Hotelier & Hospitality Design

To enhance a guest’s experience, all products in the Mitre for spas catalogue can be embroidered with a logo or text in a range of fonts and colours, to match customers’ branding requirements. Aqua Vitae Spa at Matfen Hall Hotel recently purchased the company’s Vienna bathrobes having them embroidered with their brand logo. Faye Pratt from the Aqua Vitae spa said “Lisa, our account manager has been fantastic, the service was extremely helpful and efficient and not only did we receive great service, but we had a great after service too, the embroidery has come out fantastic and looks wonderful on the bathrobes.” Stephen Broadhurst, Managing Director of Mitre Linen,
said: “It’s never been easier for spas to create the perfect treatment room to allow their guests to completely relax and unwind and embroidering the spa’s towelling products can really help personalise the whole experience for the guest.” The company has also recently worked with the Gomersal Park Hotel in West Yorkshire ahead of the launch of their Dream Spa. Deputy General Manager Stacey Webster said: “We’re incredibly proud of our new spa and trusted Mitre to help us to create the right look. We are using Mitre’s well-presented soft furnishings on our display couches and are delighted with the quality of their new chocolate vat-dyed Enigma towels which add a touch of luxury to our treatment rooms.” Other clients, such as the luxury 5 star health spa and hotel Stobo Castle in Scotland also rely on Mitre to supply them with high quality towelling products. Spa Manager Amanda Blacklaw said: “Mitre has supplied Stobo Castle for over ten years and the quality is always great. We’re Scotland’s only destination spa and we pride ourselves on our very high standards.

Hotel stays clear of limescale with KalGUARD®
Hotelier & Hospitality Design
Despite being located in one of the hardest water areas in the country, a popular hotel in Bath has completely avoided problematic limescale accumulation in its hot water system thanks to a KalGUARD® water conditioning solution from Sentinel Commercial. The scientifically-proven, electrolytic limescale prevention device was commissioned in October 2013 at the hotel, which at the time was newly constructed. Ever since, regular monitoring reports from the boiler manufacturer and Sentinel Commercial have confirmed that KalGUARD® has kept the system almost entirely free of limescale – a result that not only ensures maximum system efficiency, performance and longevity, but also minimises stubborn and unsightly limescale deposits on the hotel’s thousands of appliances, bathroom and kitchen fittings.
32
The hotel is part of one of the UK and Ireland’s biggest and fastest growing hotel companies, comprising over 650 premises. Committed to offering quality accommodation at affordable prices, each hotel is built to the highest standards using reliable technologies that are proven to deliver long-term cost and energy efficiency. As the Bath hotel is located in an area served by incoming mains water with a total hardness of approximately 330ppm (as calcium carbonate), due consideration had to be given to preventing limescale formation in the hotel’s new hot water system, as Chris Shelton, Sales Director of Sentinel Commercial, explained: “Failure to adequately treat a hot water system means that limescale will form readily on heat transfer surfaces, pipework, and appliances, causing poor energy efficiency, reduced water pressure, noise, component failure,
and even inadequate hot water supplies. Not to mention that it builds up on sanitaryware and appliances, making them difficult to clean. Such problems are not only costly, but totally unacceptable for any company whose business relies on reputation, as all hotels do in today’s online information age.” The forward-thinking building service provider responsible for the design and installation of the new hotel’s HVAC system elected to install Sentinel Commercial’s KalGUARD® at the 108 bedroom facility. KalGUARD® ‘conditions’ water permanently by dosing it with very low levels of stable zinc via an electrolytic process that uses a zinc anode and a copper cathode. This forces naturally occurring calcium carbonate crystals to form as soft, non-deposit-forming aragonite rather than into hard, depositforming calcite (limescale). A tested and trusted product, KalGUARD® has been independently proven by Cranfield University to reduce limescale drastically. Furthermore, the electrolytic technology it uses is recommended by the Part L Building Services Compliance Guide for the control of limescale. A 54mm KalGUARD® system was installed at the Bath facility, where water usage is approximately 20m3 per day, with a peak theoretical demand of over 140 l/min. Here, the hotel’s water supply enters a CWS tank and is boosted to all hot and cold water services, including three high efficiency water heaters, supplied by a major boiler manufacturer, as well as a 2,000 litre preheat vessel that is fed from a Micro-CHP unit. On the advice of the Sentinel Commercial team, KalGUARD® was fitted to the building’s rising main to ensure that the water heaters, as well as other hot and cold outlets, remain free of limescale. Since KalGUARD® was commissioned in October 2013, the system has been inspected and monitored on a quarterly basis by a Sentinel Commercial engineer as part of a regular service support package. All standard reports have shown steady state conditions, with KalGUARD® performing extremely well despite the acute hard water in the vicinity. To allow continuous monitoring of waterside conditions
and assess changes in the system, Sentinel Commercial used data loggers on this project. These readings have demonstrated a steady state between flow and return temperatures. The boiler manufacturer, also keen to support efficient hot water generation objectives and limescale prevention, has independently monitored conditions in the heat exchangers using sitespecific diagnostic programmes. Once again, all reports undertaken by the boiler manufacturer’s Water Heater Product Manager have proven KalGUARD® to be effective at controlling limescale. As would be expected, the boiler manufacturer and hotel are impressed with KalGUARD®’s performance, and confident in its technology. “Unlike devices that use magnetic, impulse field and electronic technologies, all of which are supported by claims that are difficult to validate, KalGUARD® uses Part L approved electrolytic technology, and has proved successful at preventing limescale in hundreds of commercial facilities across the country. KalGUARD® will not only maximise the longevity and efficiency of the hotel’s energy saving heating system, but will also help to ensure a dependable supply of hot water, better water pressure, increased longevity of appliances, and easier, faster cleaning of bathrooms and kitchenware. Ultimately, all of these are necessary to keep guests happy, achieve the high standards of Premier Inn hotels, and increase long-term energy and operational savings,” concluded Chris Shelton.

Fire Safety with Hotels What’s the ‘Risk’?
The History of Fire
Within the UK, Fire Safety legislation is built on strong foundations, much of which was introduced following very serious fires, many of which involved high loss of life. Historically the Fire and Rescue Service would initially advise on the fire safety arrangements required within a building and, where necessary, issue formal notices specifying the work required before they would grant a ‘Fire Certificate’ for that building. The introduction of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (RRO) saw a move to place the ownership & responsibility for fire within buildings firmly with the occupier and or employer, and responsible person/s who have any form of control within the premise. The Responsible Person must ensure that an up to date Fire Risk Assessment is provided where persons are employed to work, on payment or otherwise (including volunteers), or where members of the public have access. If more than 5 people are employed then the Fire Risk Assessment must be written. The guidance under the RRO for Hotels is entitled Fire Safety Risk Assessment - Sleeping Accommodation which runs to 147 pages.
Hotelier & Hospitality Design
Major Risk from Fire
34
By far the highest risk from fire is associated with those buildings where there is a sleeping risk. This increases in those buildings where the occupants are unfamiliar with the building. Factor in other issues such as alcohol, language barriers, poor management and levels of staff training, and the risks become even greater.
The Impact of Fire
If your business was unfortunate and suffered the impact of a fire - what would be the damage? Clearly this is determined by the amount of pre-planning undertaken prior to the event. ‘Failing to Plan’ is ‘Planning
to Fail’. Without appropriate level of fire safety systems and provisions, management controls, maintenance, emergency planning and staff training being in place it is probable that any small incident would escalate and develop into a major fire from which it is unlikely that any business could survive.
systems and assessors have been thoroughly and independently evaluated and will continue to be delivered to an agreed specification. However, anyone can set up a third party certification scheme, so to be credible it should be accredited by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS).
The damage associated with fire goes beyond the potential loss of life and buildings, but also includes loss of business, with 80% of those suffering a major fire never recovering. Then there is the enforcement action following Police and Fire Service investigations and this can encompass a range of ‘responsible persons’ including members of the board, regional & local managers, fire safety system installers, fire risk assessors, etc.
FARMSS are accredited by the BAFE SP205 scheme which has been accredited by UKAS since 2012.
Fire Risk Assessment
Managing Risk Considerations
Does your company have a robust Fire Risk Assessment that has been determined by a ‘competent’ person? Is the Fire Risk Assessment a live document known by all staff and regularly reviewed to ensure that it remains fit for purpose?
Under the RRO there is a duty on the ‘responsible person’ to carry out a Fire Risk Assessment. This can be undertaken by a ‘competent person’ who has the appropriate training, experience and knowledge. The responsibility for the selection of the competent person ultimately rests with the ‘responsible person’.
Are the action plans identified within the Fire Risk Assessment being appropriately managed / discharged?
The Fire Risk Assessment is the singularly most important element of fire safety within buildings as this determines the current levels of fire safety protection within the building and considers the impact upon ‘life’ safety should a fire occur.
Are robust ‘Emergency Plans’ in place that give full consideration to the need to evacuate all those within the building including those persons who may require assistance?
Ensuring Competency
To help business owners make informed decisions about who they should employ to assist them in managing fire safety, third party accreditation systems have been developed. Third party certification bodies assess companies or individuals to make sure work is carried out to a set standard designed to give confidence to specifiers, users, occupiers, owners and enforcement bodies that management
If you were visited by the enforcing authority would your Fire Risk Assessment and progress of discharging the action plans be found wanting?
Are fire drills undertaken to test the emergency plan at least every 12-months, with the result recorded? Do your staff have a good understanding of the findings of the Fire Risk Assessment and their role within an emergency, and have they received levels of training appropriate to their roles? Have sufficient numbers of Fire Marshals been trained and has this been tested within a realistic drill scenario to ensure your emergency plan is fit for purpose?
Business Matters Has a Fire Marshal refresher training programme been established? - it is recommended that this should be completed every 12-months and should include the use of fire extinguishers within real fire training. Have the roles & responsibilities of each Fire Marshal been recorded in writing and have they signed to confirm their understanding of the duties placed upon them? Have Fire Safety system testing and maintenance programmes been established and are they fit for purpose and up to date. E.g. Fire Alarm system, Emergency Lighting, Fire Safety signs and notices, firefighting equipment & installations, etc.? Are management controls in place that ensure the means of escape in the building are regularly checked to confirm that they are available in the event of an emergency? Are escape routes free from combustibles, fire doors shut and not wedged open, store rooms locked shut and, waste management controls enforced?

Style Uniforms rolls out its On-line Order Portal
S
pecialist bespoke corporate clothing manufacturer for the hospitality sector, Style Uniforms, has launched a new On-line Ordering Portal, offering existing and potential customers the prospect of making substantial savings whilst maintaining consistency over their brands. Sheffield based Style Uniforms has been providing design and manufacturing services to clients in the hospitality industry since 1993, it has customers all over the UK, and has some of the biggest brand names in the sector as clients. To help make the customer experience easier, Style Uniforms developed an on-line re-ordering system that is specifically tailored to each client. It is designed to allow customers with multiple outlets to maintain control over expenditure and brand image consistency, as Director Chris Baldran explains. “We found that some customers experienced difficulties when orders from various outlets in the chain became inconsistent. This led to re-orders, lost time and the brand being presented inconsistently. We designed the portal so that any manager in a brand chain can log on and order any number of an item in whatever colour, style or size they need; but they are only ever presented with choices that have been approved by head office. This reduces errors, saves time and money and means that no matter where the hotel, conference centre or restaurant is located, the staff always order only the approved clothing with the correct brand designs on them. The Portal proved so successful in our pilot that we are now making it available to all existing clients and it will be a key service benefit we offer to new customers,” says Chris Baldran.
Hotelier & Hospitality Design
The portal allows for the construction of a dedicated on-line booking page that is based on and contains each customer’s previously ordered or agreed items that can be worn by members of staff. The system provides for much faster simultaneous order placing by numerous employees without the need for one person having to act as a central contact point for re-orders.
38
“A huge amount of work goes into getting a brand image right, and nothing represents the brand more than employees, so they have to look the part. We spend a considerable time with our clients in the designing of uniforms and corporate clothing so that all members of staff are perfect looking ambassadors for their brands. What our Portal now adds is peace of mind in the re-ordering process as all orders are cross-referenced with purchase orders and if an item of clothing is discontinued, it becomes instantly unavailable to order, which again maintains consistency of brand image in front of customers,” says Chris Baldran. Style Uniforms is based at International House, Nunnery Drive on the Parkway Industrial Estate, Sheffield.

This heater has a thin shape with minimal light emission. It can be placed on the ceiling or used as a wall-mounted heater, creating a stylish and unobtrusive installation.

With a length of less than one meter and a depth of just 177mm, this heater is considerably smaller than other options currently on the market. The use of infrared technology means that this product releases powerful heat and is incredibly efficient, with a heat output of 2300W.
For outdoor spaces there is the Tungsten range, an economical option available in electric, gas and portable models. The Bromic Tungsten Portable is particularly popular due to its fuel efficiency, whilst also having wheels that make it easy to transport and a tilting head that allows directional heat. These heaters are hard wearing and won’t buckle under the pressure of bad weather, with the Tungsten Smart Heat Gas remaining effective in winds of up to 14 km/h. The Tungsten range comes in variable sizes and heat outputs. Paul Holt from Smart Fire UK said: “We’re proud to be the only British distributor of Bromic heaters. Their unique designs are popular amongst our customers and with each new release come innovative improvements. “These heaters are ideal for anyone hoping to make the most of outdoor areas, which are otherwise unusable during the colder months. “Bromic’s vision of revolutionary products, born from a vision of sustainable and efficient heating mixed with an emphasis on style makes their heating solutions stand out from the crowd, creating revolutionary products. “No longer do people have to choose between style and efficiency as our heaters provide the perfect blend of both.”

An interior design service especially for independent hotels and small chains Do you ever wonder why some hotels and restaurants are always full whilst others struggle for bookings? Mainly this comes down to two factors – service and ambience. Both should ensure customer satisfaction and therefore hopefully repeat bookings and referrals. You will want to ensure that your hotel and/or restaurants falls within the former, that your staff are trained, courteous and efficient. Equally the decor, furniture and furnishings need to provide comfort and ‘the look’ that you wish to achieve whether that be for city, countryside, coastal and whether your guests are professional or leisure or a mixture of both, classic or contemporary. As an independent hotel or small chain you will want to ensure: •
Rooms are smart and easy to market and that occupancy rates increase
•
Guests have a pleasurable and comfortable stay, will return and recommend you
•
You receive positive reviews on feedback sites, as even one negative review on comparison sites can have a harmful effect on your business
•
Your costs and time are reduced in a refurbishment or new-build project
• Your hotel is differentiated from your competitors. You can now find help with this whether you require a full interior design and fit-out service or whether you just
want to add a ‘touch of sparkle’ to a few rooms, with no minimum order or deposits to pay and all at an affordable price. How much time would it save you to have furniture, curtains and artwork co-ordinated, with mood boards and computer-aided design (CAD ) images prepared for you, so you can see how the room will look, and all without spending a fortune? We believe that little things can make a big difference but at minimal cost. We offer a very flexible service ranging from full interior design with furniture curtains etc down to a little bit of extra help and guidance on options if you prefer to make your own selections. Our fabrics are sourced from a wide range of suppliers, all fire-retardant and are available in a number of styles and finishes offering options of tracking, poles (chrome, brass or wooden finishes), tiebacks or holdbacks, blinds and voiles. Furniture ranges are contract quality and are available in a range of styles and wood finishes whether you are looking for contemporary or more classic ranges. Decorative lighting and artwork complete the look to create rooms that are welcoming and comfortable. If you would like further information, a quotation or a free 2-hour consultation to allow us to understand your needs, please contact Karen Moody on 020 8399 3091 or email karen@access21ltd.co.uk
