Have You Been Working in the Scaffolding Sector for Most of Your Career?

When leaving school at the age of 17 I started work as one of the scaffold labourers. The company that I worked for was located out of Chatham, Kent, made up of a 3-man gang. It was very dangerous and dirty work. Our team would arrive at 6 am at the yard each day for loading up the lorry. From here, we would move onto the work that was planned for the day. For many years, I worked in the position of a scaffolder, and only later was I able to advance my position when within TRAD, I was offered the opportunity to progress onto an Advanced Scaffold Inspector and from there a SHEQ Officer. Today, I am the Environment, Groups Safety, Quality, and Health Manager. (I am working as a part of our SHEQ team under the Group Safety Director).

What Has Changed about Scaffolding since the Year That You First Started?

When I first started work with smaller scaffolding businesses, the area of safety was somewhat poor, and not much training or education was provided. In fact, some of the scaffolders even preferred to …

Any person who has a thing for purchasing and collecting antiques will provide their own justification for spending their hard-earned cash on items that are hundreds of years old. While investing in something that will just sit in a glass case on display might seem ridiculous to some, experts at Serendipity understand that, for the collector, there is always a story behind why acquiring such an object is important to them.

If you are looking for a brilliant antique shop to visit look no further than Serendipity!

The Age of the Object
The age of an antique object is basically what makes it antique. One of the main reasons why people are attracted to very old items is that whatever they are purchasing is older than them. Antique objects provide a great way of connecting to the past, especially for those with an interest in certain time periods. For example, think about an early porcelain ewer. Back in the 15th century, China was the sole country that exported porcelain throughout the world. Porcelain ewers are some of the most sought-after items by collectors since they were made in the 1400s, potentially making them some of the first porcelain pieces …

As far as any of us can remember, plastic has always been around but did you know that plastics were mass-produced in 1950? Since the start of its mass production, plastic has increased on an exponential scale. At that point in time, plastic was produced at a rate of 1.7 million tons with each passing year.

By the year 2014, the numbers had drastically climbed and reached 311 million tons. However, the value used isn’t even significant enough to include the various fibres that are used. During our current economy, plastic is produced from polypropylene, polyethene terephthalate, polyacrylic, and polyamide.

Researchers indicated that by the year 2050, we could easily expect the number to reach almost 2000 million tons. However, if the trends decline, these number would drastically drop. Unlike other compounds, plastics are very light, cheap, durable and can be easily modified. As a result, it is even in higher demand than before.

Just around every corner, you’ll see something made from plastic. Within the European sector, the building and construction sector uses 20.1% of plastic, the packaging sector requires 39.5% and the automotive consists of 8.6%. In addition, agriculture utilizes 3.4%, and the electronic and electrical industry requires …

Remember a time when we all spent most of our days at school, work, or somewhere outside of the house? Those were the good old days. Now, we spend most of our days at home thanks to the global lockdowns taking place because of the virus.

Digital design plays a role in many areas of our lives, however, the vast majority of people are unaware of this fact. When you hear about digital design, you’d probably think that it is only related to websites or only for those who work in a Mobile App Development Agency. However, digital design is much bigger than that and it is present in every product that you see. This is because all products go through some degree of digital design development before being put forward to the public. This can be during the idea creation stage or in refinement of the final product.

Where Is Digital Design?

Digital design can be found in numerous aspects of your daily life. You see digital design when you look at video games, animated movies, company logos, vehicles, design plans for real estate and much more.
