BUSINESS REPORT AWARD WIN FOR THE LOWDOWN The lowdown, a voluntary organisation in Northampton which supports young people in their journey towards positive emotional health and wellbeing, has been awarded the Rose of Northamptonshire Award. The award recognises the hard work and determination of groups or individuals who have worked tirelessly to keep our communities safe and businesses moving during the Covid-19 pandemic. The lowdown provides free and confidential counselling, wellbeing, sexual health and LGBTQ support services to young people aged between 11 and 25 living in Northampton and surrounding areas. Fundraising and marketing manager Ellie White said: “The lowdown is so proud of this award as we have adapted services and made significant changes to our building to enable our dedicated counsellors and support workers to continue supporting vulnerable young people during 2020 and into 2021. “We’d like to say well done to our fabulous team for their hard work.”
PARM TO BUILD UP COACHING SERVICES The founder of an award-winning construction firm is now offering coaching services to other companies in his industry. Parm Bhangal (pictured) launched Bhangals Construction Consultants in 2010 and quickly turned it into a thriving firm with bases in Northampton and London. The firm has won a string of regional and national business awards, helped 3,000 clients and worked on hundreds of millions of pounds worth of construction projects and estimates. By 2019 it had turned over its first £1m and Parm is now offering award-winning business coaching to help other construction industry professionals. Parm is specifically looking to help owners of construction businesses, contractors and property developers to grow. They will learn how to break through limiting beliefs that hold them back and identify opportunities to grow their business through one-to-one business coaching sessions, monthly masterminds, workshops, courses, WhatsApp and Facebook support groups. Parm said: “It’s not enough for construction firm bosses to simply know how to run their company. They also need to know how to get more work and take advantage of the contracts and opportunities that are out there. “I can support them by helping them set clear goals and develop efficient strategies to achieve them.” Visit: www.parmbhangal.co.uk
