ICC Champions tickets sell-out


Trinity College London is approved by UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) to provide Secure English Language Tests (SELTs) for British Citizenship, Settlement and visa applications


By Lisa Donald Head of Business Development Trinity College London


SELTs are taken by people who need to demonstrate their English language proficiency for the purpose of obtaining a visa to work, study or settle in the UK, or for citizenship.


The SELTs Trinity offer are: • GESE: Graded Examinations in Spoken English – a 6- minute (A1), 7-minute (A2) or 10-minute (B1) one-to- one conversation with a Trinity examiner for Citizenship, Settlement and Further Leave to Remain visa applications.


• ISE: Integrated Skills in English – a contemporary four-skills qualification widely recognised by UK universities for Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 4 visa applications.


As of 1 May 2017, people extending their Further Leave to Remain visa after two-and- a-half years in the UK will need to take a speaking and listening English language test (A2) at a SELT centre. Trinity’s GESE Grade 3 is at this level. Trinity has 10 SELT centres


across the UK in Belfast, Birmingham, Cardiff, Glasgow, Leeds, London Croydon, London Hammersmith, London Holborn, Manchester and Peterborough.


Please call us on 0333 358 3183 Monday to Friday, 8am-6pm, and Saturday from 9am-4pm or visit trinitycollege.com/SELT for further information and free online resources.


12 CHAMBERLINK June 2017


Three of Birmingham’s five fixtures in the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy have now sold out following a final release of tickets. Edgbaston Stadium will host five of the ICC Champions Trophy’s


biggest games and has now allocated all tickets for India v Pakistan on 4 June, England v Australia on 10 June and its semi-final on 15 June. A limited number of tickets remain available for Australia v New


Zealand on 2 June and Pakistan v South Africa on 7 June. For more information on when and how to buy tickets on the tour go to: www.icc-cricket.com/champions-trophy/tour/overview. In addition, the ICC is giving fans the chance to win tickets to these now money-can’t- buy matches through its ‘heroes to champions’ competition, with fans nominating local heroes. Gareth Roberts, commercial director at Warwickshire County


Cricket Club, said: “There has been a huge local interest in the ICC Champions Trophy 2017, with these three sold out fixtures having been oversubscribed at every ticket release. “The tournament is one of the highlights in the global sporting calendar and we’re thrilled to be hosting some of the biggest games in the tournament. We look forward to working with our tournament and city partners to welcome fans from around the world.” Steve Elworthy, the tournament director for the ICC Champions


Trophy 2017, said: “The demand has been extraordinary so far but there are still limited tickets available for some of matches across all venues. “Again we stress that fans can only buy tickets from authorised ticket


sites, which is why we are providing a resale service via www.icc- cricket.com/tickets. It will allow fans to sell any unwanted tickets at face value to fellow fans in a safe and secure way.”

Mail services firm is delivering the goods


Birmingham-based direct mail fulfilment and print management services provider, Baker Goodchild, is experiencing an increasing demand for its transactional mail services, as the company has specifically targeted the secure mail sector following its move to a new, purpose-built premises in Birmingham. Baker Goodchild made the decision to


focus on targeting the transactional mail sector, which covers the areas of business- critical mail, secure mailings, statements, renewals, and billings. This followed the announcement last year that it had attained ISO 27001,


the certification which ensures that they meet the highest standards for secure production. Having secured this accreditation, a dedicated secure printing room was built at the new premises. Additionally, and as part of further security measures, entry for employees is now via smart card only. Baker Goodchild managing director Lorraine Burnell (pictured) said:


“Having acquired our new premises, which has significantly more space and development area, we made the decision to invest in and target the transactional sector, as we can now offer a secure site, with a dedicated area to this sector. “The investment and improvements we have made to our equipment and


plant list will enhance our services offering, and allow us to meet and satisfy any increase in demands that will happen.” Located on a secure industrial estate in Aston, Birmingham, the new


premises are equipped with dedicated loading and delivery areas, staff and customer parking, as well as providing easy access to the major motorway networks.
