Record surge in demand for aircraft BY EVA JONES wdbusiness@b-nm.co.uk There has been a surge in demand for new aircraft and engines in July, including for aerospace firms in the West, according to new data. Figures from aerospace trade organisation, ADS Group has highlighted the surge has resulted in the largest ever month-on-month increase in the order book. The boost, which brings the total backlog to 12,000 aircraft and 21,000 engines, is estimated to be worth between

Visit today and enjoy a free daily e-briefing £135 billion and £155 billion to the UK over the next nine years. The amount of orders will offer valuable stability to this wealth-producing sector and the many hundreds of thousands of people it employs. These new orders reflect long-term industry growth projections which forecast a demand for more than 29,000 commercial airliners between now and 2032. The increase is likely to take place as airlines aim to grow or improve their fleets to cater for rising passenger numbers. The industry is responding by increasing deliveries and deliveries in July were worth up to £1.7 billion to the UK. One of the firms based in the West is Airbus, based in Filton, Bristol. A spokesperson from

Airbus said: “The 2014 Farnborough Air Show was excellent as Airbus won US$75.3 billion worth of business for a total of 496 aircraft. This is particularly good news for the UK where the wings for our aircraft are designed and manufactured. Airbus sustains work for more than 100,000 people through an extended supply chain of more than 1,000 companies located across the UK, around 45 per cent of which are SMEs. The continuing strong order book helps to maintain the UK’s position as a European and global leader in aerospace.” Paul Everitt, chief executive of aerospace trade organisation, ADS Group said: “As an important event for the global aerospace industry, we expected to see a peak in orders during the Farnborough Airshow. However, the volume of firm orders placed in July was unprecedented adding almost 650 aircraft and 1,100 engines an already robust order book. Looking to the rest of the year, we expect the focus to shift to maximising production and delivery numbers. “Already this year, we have seen the number of aircraft being delivered increase significantly, putting us on track for a record-breaking year for aircraft deliveries, contributing more than £10 billion to the UK already this year.” In total the UK aerospace sector directly and indirectly employs a staggering 229,100 people. It has a turnover of £27.8 billion and has a 17 per cent global market share. The industry has also seen a 9.4 per cent annual growth. The UK aerospace industry has a global reputation for specialising in the development and manufacture of some of the most complicated and high tech parts of modern aircraft. This expertise is expected to generate around $600 billion for the UK economy between now and 2032 due to increased requirements for large civil airliners, business and regional aircraft and helicopters.

Mortgage error lands bank with hefty fine State-backed Royal Bank of Scotland was yesterday fined £14.5 million after the City regulator found “serious failings” in its advice to mortgage customers. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) said only two of the 164 sales it reviewed between June 2011 and March 2013 were considered to meet the standard required overall in a sales process. It found RBS and its retail arm NatWest failed to consider the full extent of a customer’s budget when making a recommendation, while staff did not advise customers what mortgage term was appropriate for them. The regulator said there was

no evidence that there was widespread detriment to customers, although RBS and NatWest will contact 30,000 consumers so they can raise any concerns they have about the advice they received. RBS said that in response to the regulator’s findings at the end of 2012, it overhauled its mortgage sales process and retrained all mortgage advisers. The Financial Services Authority, the FCA's predecessor, raised concerns in November 2011 about branch and telephone sales at RBS and NatWest but it was almost a year later before the firms started to take steps to put things right. The firms made assurances to the FSA in July 2012 that the necessary changes were under way to address the regulator’s concerns. Ross McEwan, who ran the RBS retail unit from August 2012 until his promotion to group chief executive in October last year, said the mortgage advice failings were “unacceptable and should never have happened”. Tracey McDermott, director of enforcement and financial crime at the FCA, said:“Where we raise concerns with firms we expect them to take effective action to resolve them without delay. This simply failed to happen in this case.”

Engineering company part of delegation BY JEFF WELLS wdbusiness@b-nm.co.uk Renishaw, the leading UK engineering technologies business, was taking part in a trade delegation to India this week. The trade mission was being led by Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg. Renishaw, which has its headquarters in Wottonunder-Edge, in Gloucestershire, is being represented by Rhydian Pountney, general manager – ROW sales division. The 40-strong trade delegation aimed to take advantage of the opportunities presented by the new Indian gover nment’s focus on economic growth. It included

94% The amount of the company’s turnover generated by exports major British businesses from the retail, aerospace and education sectors, who were signing deals and exploring new opportunities with their Indian counterparts. This was the first high-level trade mission to India since Prime Minister Narendra Modi was elected in May and the Deputy Prime Minister has been joined on the visit by Ed Davey, Energy and Climate Change Secretary. The delegation spent time in New Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore. Mr Pountney, who co-chairs

the Advanced Manufacturing Group of the India-UK Joint Economic and Trade Committee (JETCO), said, “It is a great honour to be invited to attend this mission and comes at a time that Renishaw is making further investments in India that will be announced by the Deputy Prime Minister during the week. Today we employ more than 250 staff in India which includes five sales offices supporting our expanding customer base, plus product assembly and software development at our large facility in Pune.” Renishaw was part of the delegation focused on the aerospace sector and speaking in New Delhi on Monday, Nick Clegg said, “As the leader in the global aerospace industry, the UK can also help India strengthen its lead in this valuable market. Our aerospace industry – which comprises big names like Rolls Royce, BAE systems, Airbus and Cobham and smaller companies such Group Rhodes, Renishaw and logistics company Patton Air – produces and supplies some of the most pioneering aircraft components in the world.” The delegation was organised by UK Trade and Investment (UKTI) the government department that helps UKbased companies succeed in the global economy. Renishaw, which last year celebrated its 40th anniversary, now employs just under 3,400 people globally, of which 1,900 are located at its five main sites in the county. Last July, the company reported a record turnover of £355.5 million for its financial year, of which 94 per cent was due to exports. A world leader in engineering and science-based technologies, Renishaw supplies products used for applications as diverse as jet engine and wind turbine manufacture, through to dentistry and brain surgery.

Supermarkets suffer but the market rises YESTERDAY IN THE CITY Sainsbury’s and Tesco saw investors head for the checkouts yesterday as figures showed the latest evidence of how they are being squeezed at the hands of discount rivals. The two grocers slipped on a day when the wider FTSE 100 Index edged only narrowly ahead by 7.9 points to 6830.7 as a rally during the previous session – inspired by US consumer confidence data showing a seven-year high – came to an end. Markets elsewhere were also little changed, with France’s Cac 40 flat, Germany’s Dax down slightly, and New York’s Dow Jones Industrial Average marginally ahead at the time of the close in London. On currency markets, sterling was a little firmer against the greenback to just below

Renishaw invests in Indian market by expanding 3D printing Rhydian Pountney , general manager – ROW sales division, at Renishaw, discusses the announcement of the company’s new investment in 3D printing

On the final day of the trade delegation that he led to India, the UK Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg, made a speech in which he announced a new investment in 3D printing being made by Renishaw. The decision we have made to create our first Indian additive manufacturing (metal

3D printing) technical centre at our existing facility in Pune, forms part of Renishaw’s continuing investment in the development, manufacture and application of exciting additive manufacturing technologies. The new Pune additive manufacturing (AM) technical centre also maintains our long term commitment to the Indian market where we have traded since the early 1980s. Additive manufacturing, often referred to as metal 3D printing, is widely recognised as a potentially transformational manufacturing technology that will

impact on everything from components in aircraft engines and satellites, to dental restorations and surgery for facial reconstruction. Today, Renishaw is the only UK supplier of these types of machines which are developed at our sites in Staffordshire and Gloucestershire, and manufactured at our facility near Cardiff. The thrust of our AM technical centres, which are also located in the UK, US, Canada, Germany and China, is to create a platform on which to work in close partnership with our customers to help them realise the benefits

of additive manufacturing in their products and manufacturing processes. We also see the new Indian additive manufacturing technical centre as a cornerstone in our ambition to be a major contributor to the adoption of AM in the established and fast growing high technology Indian manufacturing sector. We have been trading in India since 1983 and after establishing a representative office in Bangalore in 1993, converted this to a wholly owned trading subsidiary in 2000. Today we have regional offices in five cities, plus resident sales engineers.

Siblings’ gin success with Harvey Nicks BY JEFF WELLS wdbusiness@b-nm.co.uk Four excited siblings are to see their start-up gin sold at luxury department store chain Harvey Nichols. Hundreds of bottles of the quartet’s Cheltenham-based product Sibling Triple Distilled Gin will be stocked at stores across the UK and Ireland. Cicely Elliott-Berry, director at Sibling Distillery, said it was a dream come true for the team. “It is a huge compliment for Sibling to be noticed and picked out among the vast

For more business news and commentary visit our website at www.westerndailypress.co.uk number of gins that try to catch the attention of Harvey Nichols,” she said. “They are prestigious for the high quality products that they stock and for our gin to join that collection is something that we always hoped for, but didn't imagine it would be possible so soon.” Over the coming months, Sibling will be holding tastings across the stores including in Bristol this Saturday and Knightsbridge on September 20 and October 11. Harvey Nichols wine and spirits buyer Ivan Dixon said the drink offered something different. He said: “Sibling is an ex-

citing addition to the gin scene that boasts a refreshing point of difference and massive appeal. “Representing an excellent example of contemporary craft gin, Sibling combines a unique background story with beautiful packaging and an exceptional liquid.” Sisters Cicely, 18, and Clarice, 20, and brothers Digby, 15, and Felix, 22, are behind the gin. The spirit, produced at the team’s Sibling Distillery at Battledown Brewery, was launched in June this year. It includes notes of blueberry, vanilla, orange and lemon with juniper and coriander. The drink took several months to develop after extensive research and tasting sessions and includes local ingredients where possible. Water used in the process is from Noverton Farm in Prestbury, while the vanilla is from Madagascar. The gin is produced using a crystal distillery, thought to be the first of its kind in Europe and even the world. The glass and steel design, which parts can be added to allowing increased production, means the gin can be monitored at all stages. It was reported earlier this year the product was already being stocked in key bars in the town. This includes Lily Gins on Regent Street, No 131 and Crazy Eights on the Promenade, Soho Bar and John Gordons in Montpellier, The Retreat on Suffolk Parade and The Tavern on Royal Well Place. Sibling also received case orders from bars in London and even Malmo, in the south of Sweden. And the team sold so many bottles at this year’s Cheltenham Food and Drink Festival, in Montpellier Gardens, that they had to make several trips over the weekend to restock their stand.

Ambassador to Korea to help business grow The UK Ambassador to the Republic of Korea is heading to Bristol next week to help businesses explore commercial opportunities in one of the world’s most exciting markets.

Ambassador Scott Wightman said: “South Korea is one of the fastest growing and most exciting markets in the world, and there has never been a better time for south coast companies to do business there. The recent EU-South Korea Free Trade Agreement has resulted in the vast majority of tariffs being removed. UK exports have doubled since 2011 and opportunities exist across all sectors, from advanced technology through food and drink to legal services and marine.

Survey reveals city businesses need help to break into overseas markets Many businesses in the Bristol area are exporting successfully, but those which aren’t want more help if they are to break into overseas markets. That was the findings from the third and final Business Pulse special report from the first survey, published yesterday by accountancy and business advisory firm BDO LLP. Business leaders from the city and surrounding areas took part in the exclusive survey and gave their views on the topic of exporting and the journeys taken to tap into foreign markets. Exporting has been high-

lighted by business experts and the Government as a key driver to economic recovery and for building on Bristol’s position as a leading hub for commerce and business, not just in the UK, but across Europe and beyond. The recently released Great British Export Report from FedEx reports that SMEs based in the South West and London are the most likely to export overseas. However, it also highlights that there is still a lack of awareness; not only of the benefits to exporting but also of the resources available. The Business Pulse survey asked a

Graham Randall, partner and head of BDO in Bristol

number of key questions around the topic of international trade and looked at what can be done to improve the current situation. When asked whether they currently trade overseas, the interviewees were split roughly down the middle. Half are already engaged in the global import and export market and just under 10 per cent trade solely in Europe. When it came to specific markets, the results were split across a wide range of nations right across the globe. No major trading partner stood out but highlighted that South

West firms are prepared to travel across the globe for the correct opportunity. Despite ongoing instability in the eurozone, western Europe was identified as the most popular destination for international trading by firms in the region, which has been supported by the close transport links and the EU. Graham Randall, partner and head of BDO in Bristol, said: “The topic of exporting has produced some interesting results in our survey. “It is clear that the issues surrounding international trade are complex but some

key points have emerged. Most important is the fact that businesses have the drive to expand overseas, however the problem still lies in understanding how. There is a feeling that more help and support is needed and businesses are calling for the backing of the Government not only in practical terms but also when it comes to understanding cultural and regulatory differences and establishing new customers. The private sector also has an important part to play to help businesses prosper in new markets across the world.

Success for medical wrist band firm BY GAVIN THOMPSON wdbusiness@b-nm.co.uk A company that makes medical alert wristbands has won support from a leading charity that is now selling the devices through its online shop. Tap2Tag, based in Kingswood, in Bristol, makes wristbands, small cards and key fobs that contain information about the wearer’s medical condition. They use “near field” technology which means in an emergency they can be activated by a smart phone to learn important details paramedics would need to know, such as that the wearer has epilepsy or has serious allergies. The device can also send a

The wristband which carries medical records

‘People with epilepsy are worried about having a seizure in public’ Chris Ford message to previously chosen family members or carers to alert them to the emergency. Now charity Epilepsy Action has agreed to sell the potentially lifesaving devices. The charity campaigns to raise awareness about the condition and improve the lives of the estimated 600,000 people living with epilepsy. Simon Wigglesworth, deputy chief executive at Epilepsy Action, said: “We know from previous research that many people with epilepsy are worried about having a

seizure in public. Devices which give information about a person’s epilepsy and seizure type can be very useful in helping passers-by know what to do if they see someone having a seizure. “We are very pleased to be able to offer these devices to people with epilepsy through our online shop.” Tap2Tag’s managing director, Chris Ford, said: “Ever since we first launched the devices Epilepsy Action has been supportive and enthusiastic about their potential to help many of the hundreds of thousands of people who live with the condition. “The fact that the UK’s number one epilepsy charity, which does so much good work supporting and improving the lives of thousands, believes in our products enough to sell them in its own shop is a source of enormous pride for all associated with Tap2Tag.” In an emergency, for example when someone collapses, after calling the emergency services any passer-by with an NFC-enabled mobile phone can just tap the patient’s device and, within a couple of clicks, gain instant access to medical information the wearer has chosen to disclose. That could be medical conditions or even a note such as: “I have a heart condition. Spray is in my bag. Spray once in my mouth then wait for paramedics.” Mr Ford came up with the idea after his nephew was diagnosed with a potentially fatal allergy. He had the number of a charity helpline tattooed on his arm in case of emergency – but the number changed. That’s when Mr Ford decided there should be a better way. The company’s Medical Alert Silicone Bracelet – Orange costs £12. To find out more visit: www.tap2tag.me

Investment sets eco firm up for further growth One of the UK’s leading providers of sustainable energy systems is set for growth after receiving £3.6 million of investment from BGF, the independent company established to help Britain's growing businesses. The company operates nationwide with its head office on the Prince of Wales’ Highgrove Estate in Gloucestershire. Established in 2005, Ecovision installs heat pump, solar panels, biomass and gas boilers in thousands of homes, businesses and community buildings across the UK, from stately homes such as Castle Howard through to single bedroom city apartments. Over 5,000 systems have been installed by Ecovision since 2005. In its next financial year, Ecovision is forecast to generate revenues of over £20 million and in the next three years is expected to install over 30,000 new boilers. An

CEO Peter Randall is pleased with the company’s growth additional focus for the business is Hassle Free Boilers (HFB). Launched in 2013, HFB offers customers a state of the art, energy-efficient, Vaillant gas boiler which saves up to 40 per cent on gas bills but requires no upfront cost. Chief executive Peter Randall said: “We are delighted to be working with Business Growth Fund who are not only providing Ecovision with growth capital but also access to their networks and expertise. Businesses like Hassle Free Boilers need capital to grow rapidly which then means that customers can access much more cost effective energy by buying heating in a smarter way. We are constantly reminded that gas prices are increasing, Hassle Free Boilers makes a step change in reducing energy bills while gas prices continue to rise.”

Nato summit in Wales is good news for Bristol businesses The hospitality sector in Bristol is hoping to make the most of a major international event taking place just over the Bristol Channel. More than 150 leaders and dignitaries from across the world will be heading to Newport next week for a Nato summit. While many will be staying in Wales, the event is being staged at the Celtic Manor resort which previously hosted the Ryder Cup golf tournament, some people will cross the bridge and use Bristol as a base. Each delegation will have an

assortment of civil servants, members of the media and security in tow. John Dowling is the general manager at DoubleTree by Hilton in Bristol. He said: “The summit is a fantastic opportunity to showcase the city as a great place for business and tourism. “It’s vital that the city doesn’t miss the opportunity to showcase the city. “It is a chance to show off its facilities, business acumen and creativity to the delegates, civil servants and members of the media all of whom will be staying in hotels right across

the South West. The summit is opening up Bristol to countries and individuals that may not have had dealings with the

Unfortunately the washout result means the event won’t have done much to encourage people to come back.
