Condair achieves workplace wellbeing charter


ondair plc has been accredited by the Workplace Wellbeing Charter, the


national accreditation standard that recognises an organisation’s commitment to improving the lives of those who work there.

Condair plc, the UK’s leading humidification specialist, employs 75 people, located either at its headquarters in West Sussex, or remotely situated around the UK, across its nationwide sales and service teams. Tim Scott, head of sales at Condair plc, comments, “Employees who are happy and healthy are more engaged and productive in the workplace. We are very proud to have obtained this important accreditation, as it objectively demonstrates our commitment to continually


turndown ratios of up to 8:1, across a wide range of models.

Riello RX burners feature an exclusive design that includes a patented woven wire gauze ‘sock’ covering the combustion head cylinder. Gas and combustion air are mixed upstream of the combustion head and then pass through precisionlocated ports and the gauze ‘sock’ to ignite on the external surface of the combustion head. This arrangement enables a very compact flame with a diameter directly related to the burner firing rate, ensuring precise heat control and optimum efficiency at all loads. The high turndown makes RX burners ideal for


systems with variable heat loads where low NOx levels are also required. These range from condensing boilers through to process applications such as spray booths and industrial ovens. RX burners can be used in conjunction with


variable speed drive motors to reduce electricity consumption and lower noise levels even further than the typical 30% noise reduction compared to many other combustion applications. Control options include progressive twostage operation and fully modulating via 010V or 420 mA. Full electronic control with operational and diagnostic display is also available.

Get your cashflow in order in time for VAT reversal charge, warns independent SME finance provider


construction sector, Henry Howard Finance is encouraging businesses to prepare themselves financially. There are fears that many smaller construction companies could struggle financially because they have previously used the VAT collected to help cashflow while waiting to be paid for building jobs. Marie Dunkley, Head of Vendor

ith six months until the VAT reverse charge comes into force in the


Hard Asset at Henry Howard Finance, says: ‘Our fear is that the VAT reversal charge and longer payment terms at the end of the supply chain, is going to be the last nail in the coffin for many of these smaller businesses’ Marie suggests the following to


get ready early for the changes: 1. Invest in accounting software – this is also an asset for your business so you can access asset finance if needed.


2. Look at cash flow options,


refinancing some assets may help. Asset refinance, where you sell your assets to a leasing company for its current value and then lease it back over a set amount of time for a regular rental repayment could provide a much needed cash flow boost. 3. Look at staff training to handle this different way of working.


iello RX premix packaged burners are now available in outputs up to 3MW, offering NOx levels of less than 40mg/kWh, with high

REHAU ‘gets smart’ with new plumbing manifold


designed and developed to offer a flexible, easytoinstall water distribution device for plumbers, while at the same time providing a reliable, and spacesaving solution for the customer. With full WRAS approval, the


R


manifold is suitable for use in a range of domestic and light commercial applications. Its compact design and construction means it can be easily installed in a utility cupboard or other restricted areas within a building where space is at a premium. Using REHAU’s Smart Link jointing


system, secure joints from pipes into the manifold can be made quickly and effectively, ensuring a neat and secure installation, while individual connections can be made via isolation ball valves. The modular nature of the manifold means it is highly customisable, allowing for


further manifolds to be added on if required. With offsite construction


techniques increasingly being used on a wide range of construction projects, the Smart Plumbing Manifold works particularly well in these situations. Modular and flexible design means that capacity can be varied and sections added to facilitate more pipe connections. Blanking caps can close off any ports that are not required and the same port can be used for different appliances with the addition of a ‘splitter’. For more information please visit:
