DBCP dominates at awards ceremony
Derbyshire Building Control Partnership (DBCP) swept the board at the annual LABC East Midlands Building Excellence Awards 2019 recently. The building control company,
which has offices in Chesterfield and Derby, took home four wins and two highly commended awards, on a night hosted by England cricket legend Matthew Hoggard, in Leicester. The awards haul also meant that
a DBCP project was represented in half the categories. The awards recognise the
excellent buildings, outstanding companies, design teams, partnerships and individuals that go that extra mile in the East Midlands construction industry. Individuals and projects can only be entered for the prestigious awards if building control work has been carried out by a local authority building control team. And it’s not over yet for Charles
Worthington, or the teams behind Wirksworth Heritage Centre, Kedleston Road and The Linked Barn, having all been shortlisted for the LABC Grand Finals in London in November. Neil Johnson, Managing Director
of DBCP, said: “It was a wonderful night to share with so many of DBCP’s colleagues, partners and clients. Seeing our projects represented in so many categories is a fantastic endorsement of our high standards. “The recognition of so many
clients and partners is testament to the strong partnerships and relationships we have worked so hard to develop with them.”
A cracking partnership for jewellers
In its 40th anniversary year, C W Sellors is joining forces with one of the world’s most iconic artist jewellers in the creation of new jewellery pieces. C W Sellors has partnered with
the London atelier workshop of Fabergé to launch a limited collection of Derbyshire Blue John egg designs. With C W Sellors’ aim of
showcasing the best of British gemstones designs to the world, combined with Fabergé’s quest to find and use the finest materials in its creations, the launch of this collection marks the first time Fabergé has used British gemstones to craft its iconic pieces. Consisting of a choice of two
Blue John pendants, both designs have been worked on by skilled Fabergé craftsmen. With the finest selected Derbyshire Blue John being used in each, the surprise pendant also features collection- quality diamonds. The exclusive collection also
features two objet eggs with an arrangement of flowers as their surprise and set on Blue John plinths – carved in C W Sellors’ Ashbourne workshop. To mark the arrival of the new
Faberge Blue John collection, those who had made a pre-order of either design were recently invited to Chatsworth House by C W Sellors to receive their chosen piece. Having been involved in many

projects over his four decades in the industry Chris Sellors, Managing Director of C W Sellors, knows this one is a little bit different. He said: “Whether potential
customers view the collection with a passion for Fabergé, or just a love of jewellery design, I hope it continues to rightly raise the bar worldwide for Blue John and British gemstones.” Following a personal tour of
Chatsworth House, a champagne reception awaited the guests in the private library of the House,
followed by an insight into the Fabergé and Blue John pieces of Chatsworth House. To end the evening, the customers were then presented with their chosen limited-edition Fabergé Blue John piece. C W Sellors’ Jewellery Designer,
Rebecca Sellors, added: “As a thank you to the customers who had reserved the first of these limited-edition pieces, we wanted to offer a handover experience to remember, which hopefully we succeeded in doing with the help of Chatsworth House.”
LoatesHR builds upon a successful quarter
LoatesHR has moved to new offices at Darley Abbey Mills as it recruits two new staff to cope with increased demand for its services. The company, which specialises
in human resources support and employment law, has more than doubled sales in the first quarter of 2019. Consequently, it has moved from its office in Friar Gate to new premises, designed by directors Sarah Loates and Kevin Marks, in Middle Mill next to the River Derwent. Sarah, who began the company
in 2011 in the bedroom of her home, said: “These great new offices show how far we have come. We are expanding because of an increase in HR consultancy orders and because our HR training has taken off so well. “We needed a dedicated training room but also wanted to have the

be great for our team and help attract even more clients.” LoatesHR’s quarter one sales in
2019 hit £70,000, more than double the £30,000 for the same period last year.
