ROCKFON Mono Acoustic - more than a ceiling - at CDW 2017 ROCKFON work at the forefront of technology, developing high quality acoustic ceiling and wall solutions. They are proud to exhibit their latest innovation, new generation ROCKFON Mono Acoustic on Stand PB17 at Clerkenwell Design Week, London in May 2017. ROCKFON Mono Acoustic quickly became a preferred solution for leading architects, when the system was first developed, as a contemporary, high performance, versatile alternative to traditional gypsum and plasterboard walls. Now ROCKFON have taken the solution a step further by adding marble powder to the render to create an even smoother, whiter and more refined surface that enhances any interior environment. There is now no compromise between aesthetics and acoustics. Unlike other flat surfaces, ROCKFON Mono Acoustic is able to control reverberation by offering highest Class A sound absorption, thanks to its stone wool core.

Ideal for any space, ROCKFON Mono Acoustic offers true versatility. It can be installed on sloping, flat or curved surfaces either in a suspension grid or mounted directly on existing ceilings or walls. The timeless, monolithic look of ROCKFON Mono Acoustic is suitable for renovation projects as it complements the character and original architecture of historical buildings. For new builds, ROCKFON Mono Acoustic can be installed in any size of room as seamless spans, ceiling islands and walls. The new white surface of ROCKFON Mono Acoustic is extremely bright and offers 99% light diffusion and 87% light reflection. The combination of high light reflection and diffusion leads to a uniform and regular spread of natural light in a room, reducing the need for artificial light and energy costs. Comfortable lighting is important for wellbeing and performance at work. ROCKFON Mono Acoustic can be specified in an unlimited number of custom colours, offering true creative freedom.

Website: www.rockfon.co.uk

Mono Acoustic allows for easy incorporation of light wells, lighting, air conditioning, ventilation systems and inspection hatches and offers Class A2 fire protection. The tiles are dimensionally stable at up to 100% relative humidity and can be installed in temperatures ranging from 0Â°C to 40Â°C, allowing installation before windows are fully sealed, without the risk of distortion.

Beauty And Strength – Sottini’s New Ellero Vessel Range Combines Ultra-Thin, High End Design Aesthetics With Extreme Durability Thin Ceramics is an exceptional new range of vessels from bathroom ceramics specialist Sottini. The highend, ultra-thin design of this choice product range was made possible through the creation of an extremely durable ceramic material, Diamatec. Drawing on their two hundred years of ceramic expertise, combined with an unsurpassed quality in craftsmanship, designers at Sottini investigated best practices across the industry. The result of their research and development was a new material, Diamatec, whose exceptional robustness allows designers to achieve the near impossible: Extremely thin, straight edges that are extremely robust and durable—a highly challenging and complex combination.

specially refined materials. Thorough research and development was conducted to reach the ideal combination of finely ground alumina— a versatile ceramic material known for its strength— pre-fired clays, and the perfect blend of sodium and potassium. The result: Unprecedented strength and durability, even in the most thin and precise designs. A new glazing system was developed to complement this innovation, ensuring its tight radius was maintained. Diamatec was born.

The Ellero range of vessels is supplied in three configurations: a vessel without overflow, which maximises internal volume; and for hotel applications both a vessel with overflow, and a deck and vessel with overflow.

Products in the Ellero range are especially well suited for demanding environments, such as hotels, where an effective combination of aesthetics and durability is of paramount importance. The design maximises available vessel space resulting in an enhanced user experience.

Previewed at ISH 2017, these stylish vessels will be available in white and five pastel colour tones, inspired by ‘the perfect storm’, a meteorological phenomenon in which warm and cold fronts merge to create beautiful colour tones in greys, blues and dusty pinks.

The overflow in these vessels has been thoughtfully integrated into the design. The result is a discreet, slotted design that does not compromise the clean lines and minimalism of the piece.

The Ellero vessel range will launch summer 2017.

Not the usual feedback on a toilet, but that is the response from people visiting JD Wetherspoon’s showcase pub restaurant The Velvet Coaster in Blackpool, which opened just a year ago. “It’s used daily, definitely worth putting in,” says manager Rebecca White about the Changing Places assisted accessible toilet. She adds, “Customers tell us they came because they knew we have the Changing Places- we’re the only pub restaurant in Blackpool to have one.” “Potentially up to 15million people and their carers, families

benefit from larger wheelchairaccessible toilets with a bench and hoist,” explains Clos-oMat’s away from home toilet project manager Kelvin Grimes. “Because the user either needs physical help, changing or extra space, conventional wheelchairaccessible toilets aren’t suitable; the options are stark- to cut their trip out short, sit in their waste, lie on a toilet floor to be changed, or not go out at all.” Clos-o-Mat is the leading player in the supply and installation of the away from home assisted accessible toilet facilities, including Changing Places toilets.

The perfect one. Especially developed for the hospitality industry, this new emco mirror is held by a sturdy, hinged arm to simplify shaving or doing one’s makeup. The mirror also features a touch sensor for choosing different light settings and a three- and sevenfold option for magnification.

Intricate planning of the interior scheme has manifested in a series of public spaces that flow seamlessly into one another, each with its own distinct identity and unique features. The luxury mid-century interior speaks volumes for the interior designers’ eye for detail, as well as their commitment to authentic materials and superb craftsmanship- resulting in an aesthetically elegant and texturally luxurious space throughout. Website: www. hakwood.com

The multiple flooring finishes in the Devonshire Club were achieved by using the Hakwood bespoke service, which allows architects and designers to combine their design vision with the natural beauty of wood and Hakwood’s manufacturing capabilities. White concludes; ‘’At Devonshire Club, almost every finish and surface is bespoke. If involves a lot of time and effort, but is what sets if apart.”

Aramark 1. Every successful company has a USP a key unique selling point that separates them from the rest of the field, what would you say the real USP for Aramark is and what makes them thrive above other competitors? Aramark Northern Europe is increasingly becoming a one-stop-shop for businesses. Unlike so many of our competitors, we can offer services in most areas of the business like food services, facilities management and property management – it really makes running a business, company or a building a lot less stressful if you can turn to the same company, like Aramark, to take care of everything.

3. Does the company keep the same traditional values as it did back in the 60’s or do they take more of a modern approach with the business? Ambition, delivering excellence, diversity and dignity are the guiding principles that dictate our behaviour in Aramark. While the business has progressed in so many different ways over the past few year, its core values have remained the same. 4. In regards to the food itself which obviously has to be one of the key elements to the success of the business, how do you go about sourcing the right produce and how do you keep on track with the constant change in trends and expectations?

2. Like it or not Technology has had a big part to play in the modern world and companies have had to adapt their businesses to keep up with the constant change. Do you feel that technology has helped the Aramark or have you found it difficult to adapt?

When we are looking at new products to add to our supply chain, we are looking for products that disrupt a market, whether it’s by being different, being better or being new. We are always on the lookout for products that mirror Aramark’s commitment to excellence and any product that delivers great taste and a high standard is a great place to start. Aramark recently hosted its 2nd The benefits of technology for any business far outweigh the negatives, if you use it the right way. consecutive Producer Showcase at Catex 2017 at No matter the size of your enterprise, technology Dublin’s RDS - a ‘Dragon’s Den’-style event where applicants were hand-picked to pitch to an expert has both tangible and intangible benefits that will help you become more efficient, make decisions panel comprised of chefs, dieticians, buyers and faster and be more engaged with your employees food connoisseurs.

innovators present an eclectic mix of food, services and technology. 5. Sales is one of the most important aspects of any business so what would you say are your key tips to driving sales and not only maintaining your current client base but also looking to develop and move the company forward. Surround yourself with amazing talent and give them the autonomy to excel. Learn from your mistakes and always be honest with yourself. The most important part of a pitch or communication with any customer or client is listening. Oftentimes people listen with the intent to respond with an answer that makes them sound impressive. If you listen, really listen, with the intent to understand what the client wants, you get more out of the relationship because you can deliver what they require. No matter what job you have or at what level, it’s important to treat people with respect and acknowledge good work with praise and positive feedback. www.aramark.ie

It has been very effective in solving our problem of obstructive fire doors, in turn this has helped us achieve a more positive experience for our guests and better feedback. We are also very pleased with the service we have received.’ As it’s installed at the top of the fire door, the Agrippa holder does not warp the door or cause damage to flooring.

the World Of Hospitality

Via Domenico Apart from an impressive portfolio of Italian manufacturers of furniture which include Gervasoni, Tacchini, Emmemobili and Luxy Via Domenico have a long track record of representing Nemo lighting in the UK and now enjoying its best ever turnover to date. Domenico says.. “ we have found a real gem in Karman and the collection now complements quite beautifully our lighting offering for which we have become known over the last 16 years on the residential and contract markets ...” www.via-domenico.com It is very rare that you come across a company and collection that is creative, young, forward thinking pushing the boundaries with materials, designs and concepts and above all fun to work with. When the export manageress for Karman Lighting asked Domenico Scognamiglio, principal at Via Domenico Agencies to act as their representative in the UK and Ireland he recalls ..”just looking at the cover and images of the first pages of the catalogue were enough to convince me that I was seeing

something that was for once really unusual and exciting and that I wanted us to be a part of.. Some of the products are perhaps a little far out but that’s the strength of Karman – they are brave enough to take risks and try fun and playful ideas in an industry that is too much becoming like fashion where the big names in lighting are just putting their name to their version of the latest fad or technology with “me too” products and designers that take themselves far too seriously....”

Former Gordon Ramsay chef opens new Oxford Blue gastropub illuminated by Bright Goods LED filament lamps Latest lighting technology recreates a historic atmosphere. Camberley, ?? March 2017 - LED Eco Lights today announced that its Bright Goods LED filament lamps have been installed throughout the newly refurbished and prestigious Oxford Blue gastropub, to create a traditional atmosphere with efficient lighting technology. The Oxford Blue, located on the edge of Windsor Great Park in Berkshire is housed in two former game keeper’s cottages dating back to the 1800s and was acquired in 2015 by Steven Ellis, former chef at threeMichelin-starred Restaurant Gordon Ramsey. After a lengthy refurbishment, the pub opened its doors on New Year’s Eve and boasts a 44-cover venue with a wine attic for private dining, a 14-seat lounge for drinks and a 16-cover outside dining area. Fettle Design was commissioned to create an interior that combined the historical elements of the building with modern efficient lighting technology. Fettle specified Bright Goods linear LED filament lamps:

Catherine, a 6W sepia tinted GLS, Jane, a 6W sepia tinted pear shape and Elizabeth, a 3W clear candle. They were installed throughout the premises in the restaurant, bar, wine attic, hallway, WC’s and outside dining area. Each lamp boasts an impressive 100Lm/W efficiency. Andy Goodwin, Director of Fettle Interior Design said “To create the intimate dining atmosphere we were looking for, the lighting had to be spot on. I was introduced to the Bright Goods range a couple of years ago and what is amazing about the bulbs themselves is that aesthetically they look beautiful and create the correct colour light whilst still being energy efficient.” Proprietor, Steven Ellis said, “We had a vision of creating an exceptional dining experience in the comfort of a traditional country style gastropub and wanted to make it as authentic as possible. We have created an atmosphere that looked like it had been there for hundreds of years rather than just created by us. Lighting is such an important factor when designing an interior and it was imperative that we got it right. The appearance of the Bright Website: www.brightgoods.co.uk

Goods LED lamps are exactly right for our concept and furthermore, offers energy efficiency and low maintenance.” Saima Shafi, Sales and Marketing Director of LED Eco Lights added, “Bright Goods LED filament lamps are designed to provide a timeless vintage feel and were the perfect choice for The Oxford Blue, complementing the historic atmosphere they have created. The range is fully dimmable and provides a lifespan of 30,000 hours and is available in two colour temperatures; warm (2.7K) and very warm (2.2K).” Andy Goodwin concluded, “The Bright Goods LED lamps have that element of traditional about them which was key to the overall concept we had for the restaurant. The long lifespan of the lamps also means that maintenance becomes easier to manage. They were perfect for this setting, emitting a warm white colour temperature that replicates the nostalgia of the early Edison incandescent models. Trying to play on the heritage of the building, we wanted the lighting in the restaurant space to be fully dimmable to keep the atmosphere as intimate and enticing as possible.”

Holiday Inn, Doncaster, sells amidst competitive bidding -- MCAP Global Finance (UK) LLP sells 102-bedroom Holiday in to the family behind Westgate Healthcare --

The hotel also boasts 14 meeting rooms; a gym; indoor

The Holiday Inn, located in Warmsworth, Doncaster, has been sold by Colliers International’s Hotels Agency team on behalf of MCAP Global Finance (UK) LLP.

10-minute drive and Robin Hood Airport is less than 10 miles from the location.

(MCAP Global Finance Ltd is a UK subsidiary of New York based investment adviser Marathon Asset Management, LP) for in excess of the guide price of £6.5million, to Push and Sanjiv Patel the owners of Westgate Healthcare, which is expanding into the hotel market.

Leisure guests are also well catered for with Doncaster’s famous racecourse, home to the popular St Ledger

Located across a 6.8-acre site, three miles from Doncaster city centre, the 102-bedroom property has extensive public areas and outdoor patio/ garden space. The property is set out over three main buildings including the Grade II* listed Warmsworth Hall, which was built in 1702 by John Battie of Warmsworth. The site of the current hall has evidence of settlement dating back to the Roman era. During World War I, the Hall firstly became occupied by English Army Officers and later German prisoners of war. It fell into disrepair and neglect until local optician, Mr. Hebditch, brought the property in 1945. With great expense, the building was restored to its former glory with the Hebditch family residing until 1960.

Stakes each year; the substantial Dome Leisure Centre; Doncaster Minster and Doncaster Museum and Art Gallery within 10 minutes’ drive; and Yorkshire Wildlife Park, Conisbrough Castle, Brodsworth Hall and Cusworth Hall Museum all within easy reach. The property is available with a new franchise agreement to enable the hotel to continue benefitting from the internationally renowned Holiday Inn brand. The hotel originally entered the ‘IHG’ system under the Holiday Inn brand in 2005. Julian Troup, Head of Hotels Agency at Colliers International said: “The Patel family of Westgate Healthcare join an increasing list of a successful healthcare operators who have chosen to diversify into the hotel market. Operational synergies and reduced regulatory matters see hotels offering an attractive alternative. They will work alongside the long established management team and workforce to further develop the successful trading business.”

“Considerable interest was expressed for the freehold sale of this hotel, which follows a pattern of increasing demand for U.K. provincial hotels, particularly for global branded stock. We are seeing an emerging trend of increased demand for quality provincial hotel opportunities from a diverse buyer set, including international investors, who have been attracted by weaker sterling and improving trading prospects; private buyers attracted to the benefits of a lifestyle opportunity to corporate investors attracted to favourable returns and real estate alternatives. Since the beginning of 2016, over 10 per cent of U.K. hotel sales completed by Colliers were to international buyers. Dr Sanjiv Patel Director of Westgate Healthcare commented: “We are very excited about taking on this hotel business. Whilst we will always remain committed to healthcare entering into the hospitality market is an fantastic opportunity for us. The Holiday Inn Doncaster is a hotel steeped in tradition and represents a part of the community. We look forward to working with IHG to develop the hotel and make it a top destination for guests and a great place for our staff to work”.

Star Micronics revolutionises POS Terminal Device Choice with DIRECT iPad Receipt Printing via standard iPad / iPhone / iPod USB lightening cable Today restaurateurs have the choice of the traditional POS terminal or new and innovative tablet POS which has taken great strides in recent years to provide the flexibility and mobility increasingly required within hospitality environments. However, it has been hindered by concern for communication and connectivity issues with cable-free communication being affected by obstacles such as brick walls and even fridges and microwaves.

Faced with these issues, multisite operators have been reticent to take advantage of the flexibility and

cost-savings associated with mobile tablet POS. Blanket decisions could not be taken across estates in terms of POS solutions with each venue having to be tailored according to the location, type of venue and volume of transactions. Managing an estate of multiple tablets and paired Bluetooth devices means that it can be operationally difficult to maintain the right connection between the right peripherals and devices.

•

Mobility to carry out the transaction / order

•

Ability for customers to use their own devices

•

Pre-order on retailers’ apps possible

From modern restaurants to 17th century country pubs, retail technology has to operate in often very diverse and challenging environments and, as a result, more traditional cabled POS terminals have been the preferred option resulting in more expensive installations.

However, the undeniable advantages of tablet POS are too attractive to ignore:

This situation is further compounded by the fact that tablet POS receipt printers need network connections and cabling for reliable printer connection and tablet charging when cable-free communication is not considered suitable.

•

Lower cost hardware

•

Lower cost software

•

Use of consumer devices meaning less training and a familiarity for employees

•

More compact footprint combined with lower costs will allow for a higher number of POS stations with shorter transaction times

•

More modern, stylish design of hardware for today’s restaurateurs

So how can restaurateurs successfully combine the advantages of tablet POS with the reliability of cabled POS terminals? Star Micronics has always led where others have followed when it comes to mobile tablet POS, partnering in 2009 with Square who famously started the move in the US towards greater flexible card payment technology with credit card payment simplification. Since then, Star has pioneered change within the POS printing industry partnering with undoubtedly the largest selection of tablet POS software houses and integrators today.

It goes without saying that in recent years, software houses and restaurateurs of all sizes have increasingly veered towards Apple iOS POS solutions due principally to aesthetic and perceived quality.

The key benefits of the printer are: •

The option for a (mobile) tablet to be used as a fixed countertop solution

With this in mind, Star has introduced the new TSP143IIIU with a unique key feature - the printer can communicate and charge simultaneously and directly with an iPad or iPhone.

•

Zero set-up costs - literally plug-in & print with only 1 mains cable required

•

The restaurateur’s choice of operating systems is

As well as working with a traditional POS terminal, the Star TSP143IIIU USB printer can connect directly to an iPad or iPhone using the Apple supplied lightning cable for reliable USB communication as opposed to previous iOS wireless only technologies. As a result, the usual Bluetooth or WiFi / wired LAN set-up issues around pairing, network infrastructure, connectivity etc are eliminated from a hardware perspective. No other stand-alone POS printer can achieve this today.

•

Simplicity itself, the iPad / iPhone can talk directly to the printer just as a USB printer talks to a traditional terminal, providing restaurant chains with the reliability required in high volume transactions or environments where wireless communication is difficult. This unique printer will now allow multisite operators to make blanket decisions across their estates by successfully combining the flexibility of tablet POS with the reliability of cabled POS terminals.

•

Restaurateurs can experience a reduction in hardware costs given that a USB printer is less costly than a LAN, WiFi or Bluetooth printer and tablets are lower cost than traditional POS terminals

Tablet charging issues are avoided with Star’s TSP143IIIU providing 2.4A

SDKs and documentation enabling easy integration. Star’s experience is that many software solutions already work with the TSP143IIIU whilst others can easily integrate with the new SDK, knowing that it covers all products in the renowned TSP100 range. The TSP100 series will remain the principal tablet POS printer series of choice due to its vast connectivity models including Bluetooth and WLAN, while the TSP143IIIU is the only USB printer on the market today that can communicate directly with Apple devices. Further supported Operating Systems as well as iOS include Windows, MAC, Android, Linux, etc The new TSP143IIIU will be available from the end of May 2017 - talk to your solution provider now to book the first demo units!
