NEW BRAND FOR FIRM AT THE CUTTING-EDGE

CG Labs now focus on


transforming the products and services of traditionally analogue companies into digital ones, using cutting-edge technology. Services include: events, industrial services, security, facility management and agriculture, among others. Ground-based and drone capture


methods, including photogrammetry, laser scan, thermal and hyper/multi-spectral


sensors are transformed to provide the customer a digital solution that is easier to access and manipulate, saving clients time and money. This will allow clients’ marketing, FM, training and commercial teams the ability to use cutting-edge technology to increase their department capabilities. Security products


include proven and effective solutions to detect, track and mitigate rogue drones, biometric imaging, perimeter solutions and much more.

Clare Suttie


A world-class certified translations agency has improved their staff’s quality of life and dramatically boosted productivity by moving to a four-day working week. Atlas Translations made the


transition to a shorter week last summer and are thrilled with the results. They were inspired by research


from the likes of Henley Business School, which showed moving to a four-day week improved staff’s mental health, lowered stress and boosted productivity. Director Clare Suttie said: “We


are one of those companies that set trends rather than jumping on bandwagons, so we decided to implement the four-day week last summer and see how it went. “Bearing in mind we also had


annual leave to cover, we very quickly established a system that allowed the four-day week to work


seamlessly. Our project managers quickly got up to speed with each other’s client-base. So much so, the annual leave seemed to go by unnoticed. “A bonus side effect of the four-


day week meant sickness was easily covered. Unforeseen absence can be stressful when one is dealing with another’s workload if the client is not particularly familiar to them. Now, most of our clients know the team rather than just one individual. We still have a project manager allocated to each client to oversee a project, but each project manager has a sub-project manager so it all works well. “The four-day week also works


incredibly well from a financial performance perspective. This last financial half year, Atlas has been at its most profitable in a decade.”

characterisation including hazardous waste assessment, as well as legislation and guidance impacting on the management, disposal and treatment of waste. The company supports


SMEs, multinational organisations and public bodies and its clients include The Royal Mint, McCain’s, Sellafield, Balfour Beatty and local authorities. It has also secured a two-year contract with an executive non-departmental public body sponsored by the Department for Environment and Rural Affairs.


‘AFFORDABLE, QUALITY, ACCREDITED IN- HOUSE TRAINING’


Tanya said: “Our ambition


was to offer affordable, quality, accredited in-house training and bespoke courses. Most of our training is accredited so it’ll be included in our clients’ continuing professional development. “Most small businesses think


once their waste company has taken away their waste there’s no need for them to worry about it, but that’s not the case. Businesses need to check whoever is taking away their waste has the correct documentation and they know where their waste is going. “Our main accredited


courses are compliance, hazardous waste, waste legislation and auditing because they’re the courses which help businesses to remain compliant, reduce waste and save companies time and money.”
