Get familiar with electric process heaters

Just because larger electric heaters have not traditionally been used to heat all processes in the petrochemical industry does not mean that the technology is untested. In fact, field-proven power switching devices have been in use for low voltage electric process heaters and electric medium voltage motors in numerous industries for years, and the ability to control voltage is well established.

PLCs and similar power management systems bring heaters online in ways that prevent problems for other devices connected to the same power source. The heater and controller are part of one closed-loop system, which streamlines integration and yields more control over the entire system.

Industry leaders like Watlow are solving the world’s most challenging and essential thermal problems. Its work includes breaking down the barriers to energy transition to provide

clean, efficient and reliable ways to electrify processes traditionally heated with fossil fuels. This includes Watlow’s POWERSAFE™ solution — a medium voltage heating solution that combines both an electric heat exchanger and a control system. The system has been proven to operate safely and reliably at 4,160V and higher. It also offers a flexible combination of a silicon-controlled rectifier and contactor circuits up to 25 megawatts within a single control package, delivering high-efficiency power to reduce the size and weight of the solution, while providing a clean, safe asset for engineers tasked with decarbonising thermal systems. www.watlow.com

Wonky fruit prime ingredient for seltzer

Brothers Tom & James Henderson, from Grinton in the Yorkshire Dales, came up with the ingenious Yan Tan idea during Lockdown. Yan Tan is local sheep counting Swaledale dialect for numbers one and two, paying homage to the brothers’ Yorkshire roots.

Yan Tan is now an awardwinning premium alcoholic seltzer, available in two delicious flavours: Damson and Rhubarb and Elderflower & Hawthorn. In 2022 The Damson & Rhubarb flavour won the prestigious The Hard Seltzer Masters: The Spirits

Business (Master) Award. The damson adds a classic soft palate to the sharper, distinctive rhubarb taste, whereas the Elderflower blends beautifully with the tart Hawthorn berry.

The distinctive seltzers are 100% natural, gluten free, sugar-free and at only 71kcal, are low on calorie but high on taste. Customers can order multi-packs from the website, with the added bonus of free delivery. The glass bottles can be recycled, as a sustainable extra!

The brothers describe their award-

winning drinks as ‘moreishly, fine apple spirit’ and are perfect straight from the fridge or poured over ice, for a refreshing, sparkling drink.

Yan Tan is made from ‘wonky fruit’ – rejected from supermarkets for their less than perfect appearance but is ideal for this award-winning, premium seltzer. This innovative way of using wonky fruit, protects against needless food waste.

Improve your mental wellbeing with flower essences

In this issue of Products & Services Review

we are delighted to feature Saskia’s Flower Essences as our Natural & Holistic Health Products Company of the Month.

Since COVID-19, it’s been scientifically proven that dedicating a few minutes of each day to check in with your own mental and physical state can be truly beneficial to your overall wellbeing. Prioritising self-care can often be forgotten or neglected so Saskia has come up with a brilliant range of products to help restore energy, stamina, improve state of mind and encourage relaxation in a way that works for you. “Our Living Life Lightly blend that we launched last year in response to issues people were having post pandemic recently won Best Product for Better Mood in this year’s Beauty Shortlist

Wellbeing Awards,” stated Saskia, Owner.

Saskia has been making flower essences in the UK for 20 years. The current complete range consists of single essences and essence blends that are usually taken as drops under the tongue but can also be sprayed or dropped on yourself or in a room/onto a pillow or item of clothing. All Saskia’s Flower Essences are infused with the energy of wild flowers, trees, and garden flowers, but unlike essential oils, they do not smell.

“We make, bottle, and sell flower essences that are

similar to the Bach Flower Remedies. We have a range of 48 single essences and 9 Essence blends as well as a small range of mists that we distil ourselves. My friend Christine (Felce) and I officially started the company in 2006 but we made our first essence 20 years ago this April just gone. For the last five years or so I have taken on the directorship and day to day running of the company,” added Saskia.

Based in Wincanton, East Somerset, Saskia’s Flower Essences sell direct to customers and wholesale as well as seeing clients for one-to-one flower essence consultations in person or online. “Primarily we aim to get essences to people who wouldn’t normally use them – and as everyone needs flower essences

Nostalgia, plush toys and kidult toys, lead Toy Fair 2023

The 69th annual Toy Fair returned to Olympia London from 24-26 January 2023, welcoming back more than 250 exhibiting companies and thousands of visitors from around the world. It was a sold-out show which welcomed just under 60 new exhibitors and had increased its footprint since 2022 by maximising the full space in the National Gallery to accommodate extra stands.

From the newest start-ups to leading toy brands, exhibiting companies of all sizes were out in force over a busy three days. It was the first opportunity of the year for many to network and showcase their exciting launches in front of buyers,

retailers, licensors, media and the wider industry. With thousands of new products launched around the show there were also many famous faces on hand to build excitement. Asmodee UK invited Stephen Mulhern to launch his brand-new Catchphrase board game, as well as Matt Edmondson to compete

Creative Kids

For more than 25 years, Creative Kids Group has set a benchmark of standard goals: build confidence, harness creativity, and unleash imaginations.

Toy Fair 2023 had many highlights but one range that received the highest accolades was our PlayDoh Air Clay. This particular product was by far the visitors favourite as you can create anything your imagination allows in a super soft clay that then hardens within 24 hours, leaving you with permanent beautiful craft or toy.

It’s perfect for all ages with kids loving the key chains, pencil toppers or play food they can create and play with and adults enjoying the versatility as a core craft material.

The individual colours can be perfectly blended to make every colour imaginable and when dry can also be painted.

Play-Doh Air Clay is available in themed playsets or

against visitors at his very own board game. Vivid Goliath and Wind Designs Ltd both launched the hit TV show The Traitors themed games, and cast members Wilfred and Hannah were on hand to support the launches.

The Toy Fair returns to London’s Olympia next year from 23-25 January 2024. This is our pick of the best exhibitors from this year’s event, listed here in alphabetical order: AB Gee, Creative Kids Group & Mojo. Further details can be found on this page.

as bags of single coloured clay. We also included pull back vehicles and Dino skeletons into the range for a true toyetic play. Add the clay to the car chassis or dinosaurs and create unique designs that you can then play with.

Or why not make delicious looking treats that can then be used in play kitchens. The fun never stops. Visit: www.creativekids.com and follow the fun on Instagram @creativekidsbrands, facebook CreativeKidsBrands or check out our YouTube channel @CreativeKidsBrands.

at some time in their lives – especially when they are in crisis, our target audience is very broad – although many of our customers at the moment are busy mums with challenging children, menopausal women and women who are already open to using natural products for their well-being,” added Saskia. Fortunately for Saskia and her team, there isn’t a huge number of competitors in the industry manufacturing this type of product, therefore, its uniqueness is something that currently cannot be rivalled. “We pride ourselves on hand bottling all of our essences which keeps their vibration high and therefore more effective. We also use very inclusive and simple language in our essence descriptions and have selfexplanatory names for our essence blends. These blends are our

best sellers and many of them have won industry awards over the years,” said Saskia.

Since opening a retail space in 2019, the company has continued to grow and expand as more people are starting to realise the effectiveness, safeness and positive outcomes that come from these types of products. In the autumn of 2023, Saskia’s Flower Essences will be launching a brand-new range of essence blends marketed towards men.

Saskia explained, “Currently only a small percentage of our essences are bought directly by men and we hope that this range will help to change that. The wellness sector is increasing massively at the moment and I truly believe that very soon flower essences will be getting the recognition they deserve. Saskia’s Flower Essences are poised to be at the forefront of this wave of interest in these, literally, life changing liquids. Not only are flower essences very effective but they are completely safe for all ages, have no contra-indications, and are safe to use alongside prescribed medication.”

Mojo: The fun is here

Mojo started business in September 2009 with only a single member of staff and a burning passion to create beautiful figurines.

Nicky is a passionate runner with over 100 marathons and ultra-marathons under her belt – including the gruelling, self-sufficient, multi-day Marathon Des Sables, Grand 2 Grand and Alps 2 Ocean races. Alf too has run several marathons and ultras, although he has swapped his running shoes for golf shoes recently. They have also enjoyed running holidays in Patagonia and Peru, climbed Kilimanjaro and enjoy an active lifestyle with their dog Billy.

Nicky qualified as a nurse and midwife and has worked in pharmaceutical sales for the last 20 years, Alf too worked in sales and management for a large corporation, both have really wanted to work for themselves and leave the large

corporate environment.

The idea of FLANCI first came about several years ago when Nicky struggled to find anything but primarily black running kit. It became a mission to hunt down some colour, the seeds of a business were sown and the plans started coming together at the end of 2017.

FLANCI is an anagram of Nic and Alf and is also in the urban dictionary – better than fancy and almost fabulous. This just seemed to fit with the brand perfectly and they love seeing people wearing their own FLANCI pants!

As a runner, Nicky understood what runners want from their activewear. So, in collaboration with runners and also a

professional sportswear designer, FLANCI legwear was developed as a comfortable, functional, affordable brand with fun and funky colourful patterns. Not only for runners, they are suitable for the gym, yoga or just for relaxing in. 15% off all products except charity collabs and sale items for PSR readers, use code NRS15. Valid until end July 2023.

Taking the stress out of dental indemnity insurance

In this issue of Healthcare Matters, we are pleased to feature Densura as our Medical Indemnity Provider of the Month. Back in 2013, when DDO fees were rising a viable alternative was called for. Tom Hester, a specialist in medical indemnity for 15 years & Kevin Culliney, an insurance broker for 30 years, came together with Dr Julian Perry and Dr Paul Lambden to create a solution that became Densura. Then in 2022, Jeremy Goodacre joined the team adding his 35 years of experience working in insurance.

Densura is not just a small one-man company, it is part of a much bigger corporation called Lockton which is the world’s largest privately owned insurance broker. Lockton will help you to overcome risks with innovative solutions that are tailor-made for your business. Lockton is known for understanding the healthcare sector from the inside out and it’s this expertise that have enabled Densura to offer all customers whether an independent dentist or a dental group the same treatment and services across the board.

This ethos is embedded into Densura’s working. Prioritising high levels of customer care play a vital role in Densura’s success and is why it has accomplished extraordinary customer retention rates across the business. “We are a sales organisation at heart that is all about customer retention and care. In our dental space we hold a retention rate of 95% when it comes to renewal which is pretty much unheard of,” stated Tom.

Densura’s insurance provides cover for individual dentists as well as dental practices, groups and large corporations. “The core value of our business is all around the handholding of when something goes wrong. Our policies include some great features such as online CPD, clinical development, and we are just about to release a digital consent form for our members. Consent is by far one of the most frustrating things for dentists involved in a claim when they haven’t done anything wrong but haven’t consented the patient properly. This new software takes away any anxiety and is quick and easy to use. We are really proud of this partnership and is something we are incredibly excited to offer dentists. Another important specialism of ours is claims, notifications and dealing

with them. We have invested huge portions of our profits back into the business to build a team of 11 dental legal advisors that are all dentists with a legal qualification. Insurance in any form is a begrudged process, no-one enjoys buying it, and for dentists it’s an additional charge on an insurance that the rest of us don’t have, so we offer something that is not just a yearly transaction but something that really benefits their practice and helps them be the best dentist they can,” Tom continued.

“The main reason people look round for indemnity is the costs. We are price competitive and have saved many dentists a lot of money, but for us our key benefit is our claims offering and having our dental legal advisors who are available for our clients is a completely unique approach. Lending clients direct access to our dental legal advisors gives us a market leading solution meaning we don’t just protect the practice but the practice owner too.

Perfect hearing

Labpads was founded almost three years ago. I was the Group buyer for Optical and Lab equipment at Specsavers before moving to Birmingham Optical as their Project manager. Sadly, COVID took its toll and I decided to set up a company supplying edger pads to the optical trade.

I worked with a top manufacturer, and we

brought pads to market. We believe that these are the very best edger pads in the trade, even better than top branded pads. However, our are significantly cheaper in addition the more you buy the cheaper the roll price.

One thing we decided form the beginning was that we would never charge for deliveries, regardless of order value. We always give free samples and are super friendly to deal with.

We began stocking just stocking edger pads

A small investment in care home furniture can lead to huge savings elsewhere. How?

Rise and recline chairs enable residents to sit with their feet elevated and their backs reclined. This is extremely comfortable, plus a great position for circulation, joint pain and relaxation.

To change position, just press a button; good news for pressure sore avoidance. The same applies when the resident is ready to leave the chair… tap a button to gently stand.

Usually, care home staff are responsible for helping residents sit, get comfortable and stand. And let’s be realistic, this is demanding physical work. So not only do rise and recline chairs improve quality of life for the resident, they are immensely beneficial for staff too.

As for adjustable beds, it’s the same story. Residents may need to sleep at an elevated angle, or with their feet raised, depending on health needs.

They may require help getting out of bed, and some adjustable beds do that too. Again, these are aspects of care that usually involve staff bending at awkward angles.

The impact of appropriate care home furniture can be measured in monetary terms; better health saves money. But more importantly, they can be assessed by the quality of life of residents and staff alike. The simplest changes can have far reaching consequences.

LapCabby: Helping save time and keep data safe

The challenge With the integration of GDPR throughout the UK, the need for safer, encrypted data within the hospital is imperative for The Royal Orthopaedic Hospital, Birmingham (ROH). Matthew Maycock, IT Project and Infrastructure Manager, sought a secure, wall-mounted charging cabinet. In a busy environment with multiple users and devices, compartments needed to be locked but allowed clinicians access to their devices

quickly and easily. Microsoft has recently partnered with the NHS to integrate fraud protection in all new Surface Pro units.

The solution

The LapCabby Lyte Wall unit, designed for Microsoft Surface Pro, was the most suitable product to meet these requirements. Through a consultative & collaborative approach, LapCabby worked closely with ROH to develop a solution with a specification that was tailored to them.

Concerns surrounding data protection and encryption are now a thing of the past for ROH. The Lyte Wall SP ensures that devices are secure, fully charged, ventilated and ready to go. There are now 10 Lyte Wall units safely mounted on walls throughout ROH. These can be found behind nurse’s stations, in ICU and within private wards.

The care sector deserves more

The care sector in the UK is facing a crisis due to various factors, including the high cost of living, potential closure of care homes due to soaring energy bills, the removal of government funding for infection control and testing, and the lack of support in the recent budget. Despite promises from the government to address the social care crisis, the situation has worsened. The scrapping of the Health & Social Care Levy in 2022 & the expiration of the infection control fund grant deadline in March 2023 have made the situation even more difficult for care homes.

Wolf Laundry, operates extensively in the

care sector, and we understand the tough choices that customers have to make regarding energy bills and sustainability targets. The financial margins in care homes are narrow, and even the cost of laundry can determine whether they can stay open or face closure. A survey by the Independent Care Group revealed that care homes are experiencing rising costs in energy and staffing, leading to cutbacks in heating, food quality, and cleaning products.

In response to the pressures faced by care homes, Wolf Laundry is working with clients to help them understand their

energy usage and explore cost-saving measures, such as using more efficient machines like our Schulthess Proline W range or switching to gas dyers instead of electric. Some of our gas products can cost almost 50% less to run than their electric counterparts. We have a full team of experts able to advise and create bespoke solutions to save money. We have also introduced a free online training library to improve hygiene practices in care homes. Find these at: www.wolflaundry.co.uk

Wolf believes that the private sector must step up and provide additional training

Genee’s G-Touch® Wireless Care Solution

and education on hygiene, infection control, cross-contamination, and compliance procedures. Collaboration within the industry is essential to fill the gap in support left by the government, especially in the post-pandemic era and during the ongoing cost of living crisis and we're proud to lead the way!

Revolutionise your care homes with Genee’s G-Touch® Wireless Care Solution. We are a UK-based manufacturer who specialises in affordable touch technology.

Joerns Healthcare’s new Oxford Up

Joerns Healthcare’s new Oxford Up is a uniquely designed active manual stand aid, supporting assisted standing, seated transfers, and patient rehabilitation. Previewed at the Moving and Handling People Conference and OT Show in the latter half of 2022, it commanded a lot of interest and positive reviews.

The Up will form part of the Oxford Professional series, complimenting the already established Switch, Journey and Ascend stand assist solutions. Suitable for clients who require some assistance when standing but are able to participate and contribute effort to the process, the Up can also be deployed as a useful rehabilitation aid.

Manufactured using a combination of steel and aluminium framework, the Oxford UP meets or exceeds all applicable design and regulatory standards and unlike other stand assist products, it quickly and conveniently dismantles into three separate components. This significantly eases storage requirements and facilitates onward transportation in the boot of a car. Reassembly takes a matter of seconds, and the Up is ready for use again.

Owing to its unique and robust design, the Up successfully achieves a safe working load rating of 200kg (31st). Furthermore, injury reduction, fall prevention and ergonomic principles were fundamental considerations during the development phase. A large multi-point push handle aids manoeuvrability for the care giver, and the foot push pad, a common feature on Oxford Professional series products, provides a means of generating forward momentum when moving a patient.

The UK’s largest trade & retail shooting event

The British Shooting Show, held at Birmingham’s NEC from 17-19 February 2023, showcased the latest advancements in shooting equipment and accessories, and provided an opportunity for industry professionals, retailers, enthusiasts and law enforcement to connect and network.

The British Shooting Show had thousands of new and used shotguns ready to buy.

The British Shooting Show was a rifle shooters’ paradise. From ‘out of the box’ factory rifles for target shooting, deer stalking and pest control, to the finest specialist custom builds, the choice was wide, varied and almost endless. Right across the show there were thousands of brand new and used rifles for sale along with all the current and brand new models

Bluelite’s award winning sustainability journey

Bluelite was delighted to be named winner of the Sustainable/ Ethical Manufacturer Award at the Insider Media ‘Made in the South East’ Awards. It’s a shared endeavour for all our people, both in work and at home. Here’s some of our progress so far.

Bluelite’s commitment to minimising our carbon footprint and reducing our environmental impact is central to our sustainability journey.

For example, our investment in 88 solar panels has reduced our reliance on fossil fuel generated electricity by 10%, with half of our power requirements now met through renewables.

We are adopting a more sustainable approach across our production process, including the use of low solvent inks, LED lighting throughout and electric vehicles for service support.

Our waste management practices include cardboard recycling for packing kits and the complete elimination of bubble wrap. We vacuum seal packages to minimise materials usages and tapes, have replaced single use plastic cups with China cups and also share materials offcuts with local schools to provide high visibility markings for bags and satchels. Office operations are now largely paperless, with all records stored digitally. Overall, we have reduced waste by 36%, with zero waste sent to landfill.

We also ensure that we incorporate management practices that motivate and involve employees in implementing sustainability measures. We’re also working closely with materials providers to explore ways of making livery application better for the environment in the future.

And to make sure we continue our journey, we are not only accredited to ISO14001, we also use independent assessors to

chart our progress on our sustainability journey and challenge us all to do better.

Our Scorecard:

u Carbon footprint – We generate 24,000kWh of solar power, reducing our carbon emissions by 14,000kg – which is like planting 650 trees.

u Lower carbon technologies – We invest in lower carbon and more sustainable technologies for day-to-day operations, for example using low solvent inks, LED lighting, and electric vehicles for service support

u Waste reduction – We regularly review processes to minimise waste, prevent waste going to landfill, and reuse resources wherever possible

u We have eliminated single use plastics linked to operational processes, including bubble wrap

u We use backing sheets from materials for wrapping

u We shred cardboard within the factory and reuse it for packaging, thereby eliminating fluted plastic

u We send applicable waste matter to a biomass energy plant

Packaging Innovations hits new heights

Leading multi-format event organiser Easyfairs is celebrating following a blockbuster showing from its Packaging Innovations & Empack, Featuring Contract Pack & Fulfilment showcase, which was met with a rapturous response from attendees & exhibitors alike.
