LEICESTER’S YOUNG ‘SUPER CARERS’ PAINT PICTURE OF THEIR LIVES
Graffiti artwork created by young carers
will be displayed at the Beaumont Shopping
Centre as part of Carers Week, which runs from 10th to 16th June. The piece, called ‘Supers Carers’, was commissioned by Beaumont Shopping Centre to raise awareness of the work these young carers do.
REBRAND
HL PPE, one of the UK’s leading supplier of products and solutions for merchandising and in‐store communications, has rebranded to HL Display UK following the completion of the integration of PPE Ltd with the HL Group.
PPE Ltd was acquired by HL Display UK in January 2010 to increase the breadth of its services and product range within the UK, drawing on the company’s expertise in designing and manufacturing bespoke merchandising solutions.
PPE has now been completely integrated into HL Display UK and to reflect the rebrand HL Display has launched a new website – www.hl‐
display.co.uk ‐ that reflects the group branding and makes it easier for customers to navigate and find what they are looking for.
Duncan Hill, Managing Director of HL Display, said: “The new website will reflect the full range of bespoke and standard solutions that we offer and simplify the way in which existing and potential customers find out more about our products and services. The launch of the site is the external representation of all the hard work that has been undertaken over the last three years to fully integrate PPE into the HL Group business model and give our customers seamless access to the benefits of both our standard and bespoke offering.”
Beaumont Shopping Centre and its owner British Land donate £10,000 each year to fund social and leisure groups for 60 youngsters run by Barnardo’s CareFree young carers service.
All the artists involved in the project, run by Soft Touch Arts, are aged between 12 and 18 and support a family member who has an illness or disability.
They chose the theme of ‘Super Carers’ as they have a great amount of pride in what they do and what they have acheived. They share their personal experiences of life through imagery and poetry in the artwork.
E-COMMERCE PLATFORM
With the help of BT Expedite, BT’s multichannel retail specialist business, Claire’s (one of the world's leading specialty retailers of jewellery, hair, cosmetics and accessories) have launched a state‐of‐the‐art e‐commerce platform, providing international delivery capabilities to more than 180 countries worldwide, with the ability to purchase in Pounds Sterling or Euros. The site, which launched in the UK in April, will be supported by BT’s e‐commerce platform, which provides an integrated, attractive transactional solution.
