An intriguing title perhaps but Graham Hill, Managing Director of R L Lovatt Ltd, set off in late March to walk for 11 days across the roof of the World, through the Himalayas on a fund-raising walk for the charity Bolton Hospice – quite a change from his normal day job at this firm of roofing contractors!
How Green is My Development?
Twenty years ago, people were just beginning to realise the importance of improving the environment in both new and existing developments. Public bodies including Scottish Natural Heritage, Scottish Enterprise Network and Strathclyde Regional Council recognised the need for a vehicle to facilitate solutions for the future repair and management of urban fringe landscapes, including new development open spaces and so, in 1992, they jointly formed The Strathclyde Greenbelt Company Limited.

The Leader in Sealant Technology
Outstanding product quality, dedicated technical support and ongoing investment in new plant and equipment has seen Hodgson Sealants become one of the most sought after and respected manufacturers of quality sealants for a wide range of applications in construction and industry, both nationally and globally.
Setting the Seal on Construction
A family-owned business based in Hampshire has built a solid reputation over the last 23 years for providing a full range of high quality sealants and adhesives to the building trade they have now widened out into new ranges of products that are at the forefront of technology. A.B Sealants was started from home in 1988 By Nick Richmond, using every bit of spare space from his garage to his loft! In 1994, the business – offering sealants and adhesives to the double-glazing sector – had grown to such extent that, he moved into his first industrial unit. Then, just twelve years, later he had to expand again with the result that, today, the company occupies two complete units on the Walworth industrial Estate in Andover.
Renewable Energy Solutions
There can be no argument that people need to reduce their energy bills; it is a problem exacerbated by the fact that Middle East oil supplies are close to reaching their roll over point, where the cost of extracting the oil out of the earth is higher than the oil itself. And of course, the global ecosystem is close to a state of collapse.
A Less Clinical Approach to Healthcare Design
Ten years of experience in providing exciting and innovative solutions, as well as delivering the fast, efficient and competitive service that the modern client demands, has given JAMM Architects a singular ability to merge design creativity with fiscal practicality.
Making Business a Pleasure
Indeed, it is the company’s attitude that fuels its ongoing success: a ‘can-do’ attitude that has helped it to attract a growing army of companies and organisations which, in many instances, have become far more than just customers, they’ve become friends, as managing director Dave Artley explains: “We’re very flexible and very friendly. If we’re asked to do something the answer is invariably ‘yes’, even if it is usually outside of our scope. One regular client, for example, needed several large generators for a job at Watford General Hospital. We only really supply much smaller generators, but through our contacts we managed to source the required equipment almost immediately. It’s the sort of thing you do for friends.”
Open the Door to Built-In Quality’
First opening its doors for business in 1972 as JB Garage Doors, the JB Group has since expanded to incorporate two further distinct but complementary companies, JB Gates Systems and JB Industrial Doors, and is today recognised as the leader in its field, serving a wide range of discerning customers throughout the south-east of England.
Total Waterproofing Solutions’
The Soprema Group has been around for more than 100 years, and during that time it has developed and brought to market a number of groundbreaking products.
The group’s founder, Charles Geisen, for instance, invented the Mammoth Membrane, the forerunner of BS747 felts. In 1933, his son Pierre Geisen, invented metal-faced membranes.
