Prevention will always be better than cure! Alongside the repairing of the current potholes we must not forget our assets that are currently in a “good condition” they are continually ageing and deteriorating. If we want to be in a better place in the future, we must treat the problems of the future before they become potholes again. RHINOPHALT Asphalt Preservation Low Carbon ✅ Value for money ✅ Night time application ✅ Short road possession & low TM cost✅ Minimal plant on site, improving safety of road user and contractors ✅ No excavation required ✅ Minimal pre work prior to application ✅ Kick potholes into the long grass✅

MCRMA and SPV Training Solutions join forces to increase training opportunities The MCRMA has announced it is collaborating with the specialist division of member-company SPV Special Projects to expand the opportunities for training and skills development relating to the installation of metal roofing and cladding. The Walsall-based roofing and cladding contractor already provides the facilities for the MCRMA to deliver its own three-day introductory course, but it is now launching several of its own training programmes through its SPV Training Solutions division that people working across the industry can benefit from with the added benefit of a CITB discount for eligible businesses. 🗣Clare Fenton, Chair of the MCRMA said: “The new building safety regime that applies to our industry means that everyone working in the industry must be competent to undertake the tasks required in their role, and that they are qualified to make the decisions they make. “The development of the competency frameworks will help our sector formalise the processes for doing this, but in the meantime it is really important that we do everything we can to increase training provision. This is why we are keen to collaborate with SPV and highlight how their training courses are available now to help installers develop their skills and gain qualifications from an accredited training provider.” Kate W., Commercial Director of SPV Special Projects, said: “As a market-leading roofing contractor, we are acutely aware of the current skills shortages and the difficulties in attracting new entrants to our industry. That’s why SPV created a Training Hub five years ago to address this issue and it has proved to be an extremely valuable facility, which we believe can help the industry as a whole. “Hence why SPV Training Solutions have been working closely with the cladding sector through the MCRMA, consultants and manufacturers to support the roofing and cladding industry with infrastructure for training. They have supported us to develop a series of installer training courses, starting in September 2024, which are designed to help installers get the fundamentals right and work safely and efficiently.” 👀 Find out more including the courses available here: https://lnkd.in/eSW3CJKj #roofing #cladding #metalroofing #facades #construction #skills #training #skillsdevelopment #bestpractice #advice #guidance #buildingsafety

Well worth a listen ...THE brochure debate goes on. After listening to this episode of the kbbreview by Andrew Davies I think it does depend on the customer requirements and needs for each individual showroom. I can honestly say BROCHURES are an integral part of our everyday interaction with customers. Every brochure is branded with the CPS BATHROOM SHOWROOM label which I think keeps that connection with our customers once they leave the showroom. Quite often we would have customers return with notes and specific pages marked in the brochures which would lead you to believe that they have taken the time to study them, alot will also use them as reference when it comes to quotations. Each week as part of our showroom housekeeping we a brochure sweep to make sure we are fully stocked. So if you have read all of the above you will know that at CPS BATHROOM SHOWROOM we do believe the BROCHURE is an extremely important everyday showroom tool. What's your thoughts ?? A very interesting listen !! https://lnkd.in/dTn7ENj4

Here are our top tips on how to use your PBA High Performance Planner to its full potential to ensure you live your best life! In a world of digital tools this diary takes us back to the power and magic of putting pen to paper. You cannot replace this remarkable magic. This diary/ life planner is the tool you need to ensure you don’t waste a precious second of your life. Every minute that goes by, your life is getting shorter and your remaining time becomes scarcer and more valuable. All the money in the world cant buy you more time! Time is your most valuable resource. Your life is made up of seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months and years. WIGIG! When its gone, its gone! You cant get it back! Not one single second! If you want to live a great life, you need to be very deliberate about how you spend your time. This world is filled with average and mediocrity. Only a very small % live a fulfilling and meaningful life. Which category are you in? The average human mindlessly scrolls through over 300 feet of social media posts every day. This same average human also spends an average of 4 to 5 hours in front of a TV screen every day. A huge % of this world (maybe as high as 90%) whittle their precious life away either staring at their phone, checking their phone or glued to one screen or another. Every time you lose your self control to check your phone or some other valueless activity, you have squandered another valuable moment. Every time you do this you are shortening your life. This is terribly tragic and an indescribable waste. The goal every day should be to invest more of your time on value adding activity than the day before. Is this true of you? Don’t make excuses, make changes. Anyone can make excuses, but it takes courage to make changes. If you do the hard things each day (eg using your life planner), life will get easier. If you just take the easy path each day (eg fail to use your planner), life gets harder. So, choose your “hard” wisely. The PBA diary/ life transformer is the ultimate tool to help you plan and record your time and therefore, your life. (continued in comments below)
