A message from our President Welcome to the Southampton and Fareham Chamber of Commerce & Industry Directory and the wealth of information it contains.

This is my first term as President and I am very proud to have been elected by the membership. As you will see from the contents the Chamber is a thriving and growing organisation that is constantly reviewing and improving its services to members.

Becoming a Chamber member gives access to an array of services covering every aspect of running your business, from HR support and added employee benefits through to certification of international documentation and business information.

The Planning and Transport and Tax Finance and Legal Committees of the Chamber enable us to give considered and expert opinion on issues that directly affect your business. This expertise added to the enormous fund of business experience and skill that resides in our Board of Directors allow us to effectively lobby local and national government on real practical issues on behalf of our members as a wholly independent voice for businesses in Southampton and Fareham.

Perhaps one of the most powerful features of Chamber membership are the opportunities it affords to promote your business to others. Our diverse calendar of networking events are extremely successful and are often cited as the initial reason for joining. There are also a variety of sponsorship opportunities that will get you noticed whatever your budget.

The directory is just one of the many tools that we provide to support our members in growing their businesses and I am sure that whether you are a member or not you will find it immensely useful.

JAN WARD President of Southampton & Fareham Chamber of Commerce & Industry

A message from our Director General The past year has seen the Chamber of Commerce enhance its range of commercial services and as a result this has enabled members to make substantial cost savings for their business.

Our ‘Networking’ events continue to go from strength to strength with new venues and speakers. We have increased the number of specialised events/seminars run jointly with Chamber members.

We have incorporated new courses into our Training course programme.

We continue to develop our overseas links, particularly within Eastern Europe. Chamber International, the Chamber’s subsidiary company has an on-going programme of Breakfast meetings and Awareness workshops, which are specifically tailored to assist those currently trading/wishing to trade internationally.

We actively support and participate in the ‘Business South Exhibition’. The exhibition is important to businesses/organisations in the local area and the region.

Our main role continues to be the ‘Independent Voice of Business’. We are influential and thanks to the excellent work of our Standing Committees we can and do influence policy makers and their decisions. We have developed and continue to strengthen our working relationships with the local authorities. We are a strong Chamber of Commerce supported by companies, institutions and organisations in Southampton, Eastleigh, Fareham and New Forest area.

Our main objective for this year is to increase our membership and the more diverse our membership the more influential we can be.

Please help us to market this message to others.

Finally, I would like to thank all Board Directors, Committee Members, Patrons and Sponsors who actively support/provide assistance to our Chamber of Commerce.

ABP PORT OF SOUTHAMPTON Port

The Port of Southampton is one of the UK’s busiest and most important ports, handling in excess of 43 million tonnes of cargo annually, (or eight percent of the UK’s entire seaborne trade). Providing direct employment for over 12,000 people, the Port is a principal driver of the regional economy contributing over £2 billion annually.

Southampton’s natural physical attributes make it one of the most accessible ports in the UK. Situated centrally on the south coast, the port lies only 28 miles from the main international shipping lanes serving a wide range of shipping routes. The Port benefits from a 12.6-metre minimum-depth approach channel and a unique double tide enabling the world’s largest vessels to call at the Port at almost any state of the tide.

The Port is one of the UK’s industry leaders in the handling of containers, cars and cruise. However, in addition to these, the Port continues to grow other key commodities such as bulk cargoes.

ABP is committed to sustainable investment in its equipment and facilities. This, combined with knowledge and expertise, ensures the Port maintains its position as a principle deep-sea intercontinental gateway.

INTELLIGENT MARKETING Branding, Creative Design, Web Development & Marketing

Intelligent Marketing, Southampton’s leading design communications agency is celebrating ten years in business this year.

Having grown from humble beginnings, Intelligent Marketing now boasts a team of twelve staff, many of which have been with the agency from day one. Managing Director Rob Benwell commented, ‘We are delighted to have reached this milestone. It is very rare that a company still employs many of the staff that set the business up. We really do believe that an employer has to challenge their staff to make them motivated. Everyone involved in Intelligent Marketing has a clear vision and it is this vision that has allowed us to evolve over the years’.

Specialising in creative design for print and the internet, Intelligent Marketing has built up an enviable client list. ‘We work across many different sectors from professional services to leisure & tourism’. Some of our clients choose us purely for our creative work such as advertising, brochures and web sites, whereas others value our marketing support and like us to become part of their business on a consultative basis, said Rob. We have worked extremely hard to make Intelligent Marketing an ‘All Service’ agency. Essentially, this means that our clients benefit from several services all under one roof from creative, print fulfilment, internet related projects and furthermore marketing and sales support.

Now more than ever it is vital that a company’s marketing communications delivers a clear message. We meet with so many businesses that use one agency for their design, another for their print and another for their web work. Typically, this results in a fragmented marketing message, takes additional resource to manage and costs more in the longer term.

At Intelligent Marketing we are able to pull on a wealth of resource to ensure your marketing communications runs smoothly and delivers a clear return on investment.

To find out more, please visit www.intelligent-marketing.co.uk or call Rob Benwell on 08443 722 922 for a free 1 hour exploratory meeting.

SOUTHAMPTON BOAT SHOW LTD Exhibitions Boating through the year with NBS The PSP Southampton and London International Boat Shows are both annual events, held in September and January respectively. Organised by National Boat Shows (NBS), a fully owned subsidiary of the British Marine Federation (BMF), the Shows act as a world class sales platform, whilst highlighting excellence within the UK boating industry.

The 2009 PSP Southampton Boat Show took place from 11-20 September in Mayflower Park, Southampton. The event is one of Southampton’s biggest and takes over the City for a 10 day period whilst people of all walks of life discover what the marine industry has to offer them. A number of local businesses and enterprises get involved in the Show with 200 exhibitors from the Hampshire area taking a presence.

The 2009 Show witnessed a vast number of World, European and UK product launches and played host to over 500 exhibitors. Visitors were able to get involved with the Record Breakers theme, and learnt how to semaphore in unison with a number of boating celebrities.

The ever-popular Show marina provided entertainment with several feature boats intriguing visitors of all ages. Tall ship The Lord Nelson proved to be a Show favourite as those climbing aboard learnt how this revolutionary ship enables able-bodied and less fortunate crew members to sail side by side.

The 2010 PSP Southampton Boat Show will welcome back the industry’s finest from 10-19 September 2010.

NBS is now looking forward to the 2010 London International Boat Show, to be held at ExCeL London from 8-17 January. The immense halls of ExCeL will hold boats of all shapes and sizes, from dinghies to powerboats and kayaks to sailing vessels whilst the outside docks will boast some of the largest boats currently in manufacture.

Bringing more than a splash of water to the Capital, the London International Boat Show is set to attract 122,000 people* through its doors over the 10 day Show period. The fantastic Show Stage is a spectacle in itself, drawing in the crowds to view an abundance of spectacular and dramatic entertainment; the perfect environment in which to entertain clients with our impressive corporate hospitality offerings.

For more information on the PSP Southampton and London International Boat Shows, please visit www.britishmarine.co.uk/our_shows.aspx *Average across three years.

RADCLIFFE & CO Independent Financial Advisors, Corporate & Personal Benefits 50 Years Radcliffes is celebrating its 50th Anniversary this year. Formed in 1959 by Wyn Radcliffe, the Company has provided impartial advice to its clients during that period. The original Company consisted of Wyn and a secretary and he arranged cover for individuals and small businesses, both in respect of Life, Pensions and General Insurance. He was joined in the late 1970s by two General Insurance Brokers who specialised in Commercial Insurance to small/medium local companies.

In 1986 Ted Goodwin, the current MD of Radcliffes, joined and set up the Life and Pensions Company which is the heart of the business today. After a couple of years Ted was joined by Jack Thomas who remained Chairman of the Company until his untimely death in 2006. During their time together Ted and Jack laid the foundations for what many regard as the premier Independent Financial Adviser on the south coast.

The Company has continued to grow and attract quality advisers. For example, most of the staff from a smaller IFA in Bournemouth have recently joined Radcliffes and with their addition staff numbers have increased to just over 40, 20 of which are advisers.

Uniquely we have never lost a major client (other than one that was taken over by a large multi-national) and this is due mainly to the fact that all existing consultants have been with us for five years or more and staff retention is exceedingly high. Clients are treated as individuals and form strong relationships, not only with their consultant, but also with the management team and the administration staff.

Recently we have formed a Strategic Alliance with Brooks Macdonald, a national Discretionary Fund Manager with a local branch in Winchester. They provide Investment Services to many of our clients ensuring that money is actively managed and that returns match clients’ expectations.

This arrangement forms the cornerstone of our advice process and has been hugely beneficial to our clients, particularly in the current market.

The Company and staff are very much part of the community and we have been able to provide sponsorship to a variety of local sporting clubs, including cricket, youth football, rugby and netball. Charity work is also an important part of our commitment and via our staff we have raised funds for local and national charities with additional contributions being made by the Company.

Shares in the Company are now owned by the Management team and consultants and all are committed to the concept of professional quality advice being provided by appropriately qualified consultants.

We will continue to grow, but more importantly it is our intention to remain fiercely independent and to continue to provide first class advice for all clients.

SPLICE INTEGRATED MARKETING Marketing Consultants It’s All About You Our customers are business owner and managers like you, people who have the responsibility of keeping their business moving forward, thriving even in challenging economic times and increasing competition. They are often passionate about the quality of their product and service and are just looking to get in front of the right clients.

It is possible you are doing what seems like all the right things but just can’t figure out why there are not enough quality enquiries coming in. Maybe a marketing analysis to quickly point out where improvement can be made with immediate effect is needed. All this depends on the end results you are looking to achieve.

Splice Marketing is an experienced lead generation company, with expertise in e-marketing. This means our job is to get you quality leads using a variety of online marketing strategies. For some it means redesigning their website so it converts at a higher rate, for others it could mean using any combination of pay per click, search engine optimisation, strategic landing pages, e-shots/email marketing and copywriting to name a few.

Selecting the right e-marketing specialist and implementing a well thought out e-marketing strategy can make all the difference between success and failure. If you are looking for a specialist in e-marketing and not a one size fits all company, give us a call but only if you want results.

It’s not about us, it is about your company and achieving success.

ABSOLUTE OFFICE SOLUTIONS Stationery & Office Furniture Priced to compete with a service that can’t be beat!

The interpretation of value is different for everyone. For some it’s price, or the need to receive something for nothing, while others prefer a warm welcome and a friendly smile.

The notion of keeping everyone happy is a daunting task because of the need, by definition, to include all of the value components into a single service.

Few companies attempt such a challenge, and of those that do most fail, but here at Absolute added value service has been the backbone of our business for over 20 years.

We are very aware that the products we supply can be bought from other stationers but what separates Absolute from our competitors is the extra effort we put into each and every sale.

Absolute is one of the leading independent Office Supplies companies in the U.K. supplying both our own award winning Initiative range of office products as well as branded products from all of the major global manufacturers.

What we Supply We sell a wide range of office supplies – from writing equipment, paper, filing to high tech items such as flash drives, multifunction printers and a wide range of own brand and original ink and toner cartridges.

We also specialise in office furniture and offer a complete project

management service from start to finish, providing detailed support and solutions to fit in with your requirements. From CAD drawings to delivery and installation, our in-house team will ensure every aspect of the project runs smoothly.

Printed stationery is currently the fastest growing sector of our business and our complete print management service really does take the hassle away from you. From business cards and letterheads, to full colour flyers, brochures and banners, we ensure meticulous detail is adhered to, deadlines are met and quality is unquestionable.

At Absolute we strive to provide a unique one stop shop of products and services to our customers. However, we are great believers that people do business with people and this is the defining philosophy we use to conduct our business.

Welcome to Southampton - An international maritime city

Southampton is one of the major cities in the south of England. It has one of the largest and most dynamic ports in the UK and is the biggest cruise ship port in northern Europe.

Unsurprisingly, residents are proud of their maritime history as well as the many other attractions the city has to offer. The historic city walls and vaults sit alongside the region’s leading retail destination, a thriving night time economy and a vibrant business community.

Over the next 10 years, the city aims to firmly establish itself as the region’s economic, social and cultural hub and there are exciting plans to further develop what Southampton offers visitors, residents and local businesses.

The city has already established itself as a centre for research and innovation, led by key organisations such as the University of Southampton, Southampton Solent University, the University of Southampton Science Park, the National Oceanography Centre and the Millbrook Technology Campus.

The changing face of a city A new look for the city is emerging to create a city centre comparable with the best in Europe and offering a vibrant, exciting, well designed and maintained sense of place for all who live, visit

and work in the city. It will benefit from iconic and landmark buildings, enhanced entry points into the city, a waterfront of distinction and international identity, a new cultural quarter, city plaza and contemporary leisure facilities.

With its proximity to the famous waters of the Solent, Southampton is a city proud of its close links with the sea and the city is in the process of becoming more connected with its waterfront through a series of new public spaces and pedestrian thoroughfares.

A key asset for the city is the Southampton Boat Show, the largest on water boat show in Europe.

Southampton City Council has approved plans to make sure the boat show can continue to use its current home for the next 11 years.

The city’s future plans for the Royal Pier/Mayflower Park waterfront include a permanent home for the show, which contributes over £10 million every year to the local economy.

A dynamic business environment Southampton continues to attract top class businesses – with industries including financial and professional services, hoteliers, leisure and retail businesses choosing to locate in the city.

It is the south’s cultural and commercial capital and regional centre for shopping, employment, entertainment, healthcare, higher education and ethnic worship and has an economy worth over £4billion.

As one of the fastest growing cities in the UK, businesses are also provided with the space to develop, expand and grow – providing jobs, start up opportunities and skills development for the people of the city and surrounding region. Underpinning this growth is the development of sustainable, high quality architecture and public spaces.

Learning and innovation at its heart Southampton is an international centre for research and innovation, with its universities and colleges giving employers access to a large pool of skilled labour.

The city benefits from its location in the South East – one of the top ten regions in the world in terms of government and business expenditure on research and development.

As an international centre for research and innovation, its universities and science parks contribute extensively to the continued development of knowledge based industries in the city.

A stimulating urban lifestyle Southampton offers the best of urban living – with great parks and open spaces right in the heart of the city, convenient local amenities, high quality housing and its waterside location. Its proximity to the famous waters of the Solent, home of sailing in the UK, provides an opportunity for a wide range of water-based leisure activities.

It fosters and celebrates the creative and media industries, contemporary visual and performing arts and the contribution of its diverse population with a year round calendar of events, festivals and celebrations.

The current transformation of the area around Guildhall Square in the city centre to provide performing and visual arts spaces will firmly establish the city’s cultural credentials, as well as providing a high quality and memorable experience.

Southampton City Council The council aims to provide high quality services that provide value for money for residents and visitors. Staff work exceptionally hard to ensure that visitors’ experience of the city is memorable and that new businesses receive our expert advice and support.

Connected to the world Southampton’s excellent road, sea, rail and air connections make international travel and distribution of goods and services easy.

Rail services, from Southampton Central Station, offer easy access to London (direct in 1hr 20 mins), Scotland and Wales, and the airport serves over 40 European destinations.

Its good proximity to Heathrow and Gatwick allow easy access to long-haul flight destinations.

Southampton Airport is ‘a breeze’ - it’s the easy, fast and friendly airport of choice for Southern England. Southampton Airport Parkway station with direct connections three times per hour with London Waterloo, offers one of the closest connections to the terminal – just 99 steps – in the UK. Southampton is one of the UK’s busiest and most important commercial ports and is widely recognised as the capital of the country’s cruise industry.

Member testimonials Chamber Legal Advice Line Andrew Webster, Managing Director of Mercator Media said “Chamber membership represents great value for Mercator, especially when we are looking closely at costs. We save more than our annual membership just by using the Chamber Legal Advice Line alone. With the challenging times we all face over the period, it is vitally important to get the right legal HR advice. We have found that their advisers are always very knowledgeable and are happy to spend time in explaining things clearly, plus there are no restrictions on the number of calls a member can make, all free of charge.”

Chamber Telecommunications Wainwright Bros & Co Ltd approached the Chamber with a view to achieving a substantial reduction of their overhead costs. They also wanted to consolidate the number of telecoms suppliers in order to rationalise their supply chain and ease their business management. Uniworld Communications (the provider of the Chamber Telecommunications scheme) carried out a full audit of the fixed line telephony and also their mobile fleet.

Andrew Kent, Director of Wainwright Bros & Co Ltd said “As we are constantly seeking ways to increase profitability we asked the Chamber what they could do to improve our profits. We are hard to please, but when we looked into the Chamber telephone scheme, we were pleasantly surprised to find it could save us more than £3,500 a year on line rental on calls alone and another £6,400 on our mobile estate over two years, a total yearly saving of £6,700 – this in circumstances where we thought we already had a special deal from our existing suppliers. Given that our Chamber subscription is £275.00 a year, the membership has been one of our better investments.”

“The Daily Echo has been associated with Southampton & Fareham Chamber of Commerce since its foundation. The newspaper as a member highly values its partnership with the Chamber. One of the major benefits is close networking with local business, as well as playing a leading role within the Region’s business community. We would seriously recommend membership to any business to consider joining the voice of local business.”

Fareham shopping street - the upgrade continues

Artist’s impression - view eastwards from Quay Street junction

The successful completion in 2008 of the improvement scheme at the western end of West Street has been received with public acclaim and Fareham Borough Council has been encouraged to push on with improvements to the eastern end of West Street. Here, the need has been highlighted for a scheme to upgrade the area between Quay Street and High Street and the designs have now been promoted for public comment. The Council’s Executive has allocated £250,000 and Hampshire County Council’s Regeneration of Older Urban Areas Initiative is to contribute a further £100,000.

The artist’s impression illustrates the proposed improvements. A leaflet has been issued to seek the views of local businesses, residents and the public. The consultation period ended on 31 July.

The project is likely to be implemented during 2010.

The proposed improvement area is located in a busy part of the town centre and includes part of the High Street Conservation Area. The proposed improvements include: (1) new natural sandstone paving for footways in the High Street Conservation Area and other areas subject to budget (2) new street furniture including seats, litter bins and cycle racks (3) new swan neck street lights in a traditional style to compliment the existing Victorian lights (4) tree planting, subject to finding locations free of underground services (5) reduce the bus lay-by area to increase the area for pedestrians, and (6) widen footways in Quay Street.

Networking really does work No business can afford to stand still, particularly in these uncertain times. One of the effective ways of establishing a new client base is to widen your circle of like-minded business people through networking.

There are lots of methods of marketing but most will agree, effective networking is one of the best.

Come ready to give – make and keep offers!

Remember the phrase ‘it’s not what you know, but who you know’, this is where your local Regional Chamber of Commerce can help.

Our annual programme consists of more than 30 diverse, high quality, attractively priced networking and corporate events and seminars at interesting venues, each providing the perfect opportunity for our members and guests to network, exchange ideas and do business.

How effective is your networking strategy?

Like every activity in life a bit of preparation and planning is vital.

Here’s ten warm up mental exercises which can help!

8. I’m a likeable person: believe in myself and in my area I have much knowledge and expertise 9. There will always be the odd rude person... just get away from them as soon as possible 10. Don’t take rejection personally. These contacts aren’t worth giving a second thought to. Focus on 99.9% of pleasant and welcoming people

Successful Business Networking Effective business networking is the linking together of individuals who, through trust and relationship building, become walking, talking advertisements for one another.

Keep in mind that networking is about being genuine and authentic, building trust and relationships and seeing how you can help others.

Ask yourself what your goals are in participating in networking meetings so that you will pick up groups that will help you get what you are looking for.

Ask open-ended questions in networking conversations. This means questions that ask who, what, where, when and how as opposed to those that can be answered with a simple yes or no. This form of questioning opens up the discussion and shows listeners that you are interested in them.

Become known, attend regular events, in time you will become a recognised face and people will turn to you.

Have a clear understanding of what you do and why, for whom and what makes your doing it special or different from others doing the same thing.

Be able to articulate what you are looking for and how others may help you. Too often people in conversations ask “How may I help you?” and no immediate answer comes to mind.

Follow through quickly and efficiently on referrals you are given. When people give you referrals, your actions are a reflection on them. Nurturing referrals will grow.

Call those you meet who may benefit from what you do and vice versa. Express that you enjoyed meeting them and ask if you could get together and share ideas.

Have fun! Relax and enjoy the event A message from Stewart Dunn, Managing Director of the Southern Daily Echo “The Daily Echo has been associated with Southampton & Fareham Chamber of Commerce since its foundation. The newspaper as a member highly values its partnership with the chamber, as one of the major benefits is that of close networking with local businesses, as well as playing a leading role within the Region’s business community. We would seriously recommend membership to any business to consider joining the voice of local business.”

1. I am about to give up 3 precious hours out of the office, so I am going to get the most out of it 2. I will enjoy this event and have some real fun 3.

I will see people on their own, open 2’s and 3’s. They will be welcoming. Beware of the closed 2’s,3’s and 4+ groups unless there are people in there you already know

4. Plan to talk to 3 new people and gain 3 new pieces of information 5. Work hard at introducing yourself to the people you are targeting 6. Get yourself in the right state.... and not “A right State”.

7.

Remember, everyone present at an event wants to network. They may want to meet you just as much as you want to meet them. The chances of rejection are tiny

Chamber Viewpoint Hampshire Chambers Hampshire Chambers is a strategic alliance of the three largest Chambers of Commerce in Hampshire working together to represent the views of Hampshire businesses and to drive the economic agenda for the area. The three Chambers of Commerce working in partnership are:n North Hants Chamber of Commerce n Portsmouth & South East Hampshire

Chamber of Commerce n Southampton and Fareham Chamber of Commerce The South Hampshire Sub-region centres on the two cities of Portsmouth and Southampton and is designated as one of eight New Growth Points in the Government’s South East Plan published in 2009. This designation resulted from the work of the Partnership for Urban South Hampshire (PUSH), a partnership of local authorities with the aim of promoting economic growth and inward investment to the PUSH area.

Southampton & Fareham Chamber of Commerce The Southampton and Fareham Chamber of Commerce was established as a private sector, business membership organisation in 1851, primarily to promote the emergence of Southampton as a major UK port and commercial centre. Our long history has shown the ability of this Chamber of Commerce to continue to be relevant to the changing local business scene by responding to the views and needs of local businesses.

These days, our high profile and credibility as the major business representative organisation in South Hampshire is supported by our reputation as a forward thinking organisation, an honest business broker and a value-for- money provider of business support services. n We have always retained our

independence as a Chamber of Commerce and are respected as the independent voice of local business. n We engage with and represent businesses across the South Hampshire region irrespective of size and industrial sector. n We support businesses by providing an exclusive and comprehensive range of business benefits and cost cutting commercial services to companies, some of which are available to non-members. n We will continue to remain in touch with

the views and needs of business leaders in South Hampshire to achieve prosperity for our members and to drive economic development in the South Hampshire economy.

The Representation Role As the major Chamber of Commerce in the South Hampshire, we are asked for formal comment and are able to influence local, regional and national decision makers through our business driven lobbying and responses to consultations on planning or government policy. In fulfilling our role as the independent voice of local business, we represent and support all businesses in the region by inviting their comments on topics that affect their performance. These topics are debated at monthly meetings of the Chamber Board and the 50 or so Chamber Committee members, professionals and Council representatives from throughout the South Hampshire area. Having established the “Chamber Viewpoint,” this is put forward on behalf of local businesses and published in our monthly business magazine “Chamber News” that goes to approximately 4,000 businesses throughout Hampshire.

We also survey our members on a quarterly basis so that local economic trends can be reported and used to build into a regional economic perspective for the South East England Development Agency (SEEDA) and a national perspective for the British Chambers of Commerce with its unique voice of business representation to Government.

Local Strategic Partnerships The Southampton & Fareham Chamber of Commerce is represented on the Policy Board, Economy & Enterprise Board, City Brand Group and Visitor Economy Group of the Southampton Partnership and on the Eastleigh Strategic Partnership and the Network Fareham LSP Economic Development group.

Chamber’s Input to Economic Development Action Plans Local authority Economic Development Managers from Southampton, Eastleigh and Fareham are co-opted to the SFCCI Planning & Transport Committee. Early comment was requested from the Chamber on the Fareham and the Southampton Economic

Development Action Plans and the Chamber attended the first Eastleigh Economic Development Task Force meeting in 2009.

Lobbying Local Authorities As with the previous Local Plan system, Southampton and Fareham Chamber of Commerce has commented on the Local Development Framework (LDF) documents of councils in South Hampshire (Southampton, Fareham, Eastleigh, New Forest, Test Valley) and is mentioned in their Statements of Community Involvement. LDF consultations responded to in recent years include:n Participation in Fareham SDA Visioning

Workshops in 2009 n Comments on Fareham LDF Core Strategy Preferred Options 2008 n Comments on Southampton LDF Core Strategy at each consultation stage. n Informal early comments on LDF Eastleigh Core Strategy Stage 1 (issues) 2009 n Comments on Secretary of State’s Proposed Changes to the South East Plan n Chamber’s Response to Eastleigh BC LDF Eastleigh Town Centre Action Plan (Issues) n Chamber’s comments on Employment Land Study for Southampton & Eastleigh

Westfield provides economy of health Additional For Kids and Fitness and Well-being cover is also available, each option costing just an extra 15p per employee, per week.

During an economic downturn, businesses need to ensure that they maintain a motivated and productive workforce - and healthcare has an increasing role to play in achieving this.

Taking into account the fears that people are facing, it is clear that the repercussions of the recession can have an effect from the boardroom to the shop floor of any organisation.

In these difficult financial times, health cash plans can help employers to reduce sickness absence, boost staff morale and improve recruitment and retention.

Southampton and Fareham Chamber of Commerce works in partnership with awardwinning health cash plan provider Westfield Health to offer the Foresight Plan to its members.

Foresight Plan – the benefits: The Foresight Plan can help to reduce absenteeism and related costs, improve staff recruitment and retention, boost staff morale, motivation and productivity, encourage proactive employee healthcare and reduce the risk of stress and musculoskeletal-related litigation.

Foresight is available on a corporate-paid only basis and there are three levels of cover - £1, £2 or £3.75 per employee, per week. Employees receive 100 per cent reimbursement on all cash benefits, up to set limits. There are no qualifying periods, no medical is required to join and all preexisting medical conditions are covered (employee only).

In return for employer-paid premiums, employees who are permanent UK residents can claim tax-free lump sums towards the cost of everyday healthcare including dental, optical, therapy treatments (physiotherapy, acupuncture, osteopathy and chiropractic treatment) and diagnostic consultations.

The plan also includes a scanning benefit, which provides fast access to MRI, CT and PET scanning facilities. These state-ofthe-art machines can provide diagnosis to detect conditions early at a treatable stage, including serious illnesses such as heart disease, brain disorders and cancer.

For Kids allows employers to purchase cover for their employees’ dependent children, providing them with a range of benefits including dental, optical, therapy treatments and diagnostic consultations. If an employee has more than one child, the benefit allowance is shared between them.

The Fitness and Well-being option provides employees with access to an innovative GP telephone consultation service, concessionary membership rates at a network of UK health and fitness clubs and a comprehensive online A-Z health site.

In addition, Surgery Choices is also available as an add-on benefit to the Foresight Plan for just an extra £1.24 per employee, per week.

It covers employees for up to 60 different surgical procedures normally classed by the NHS as non-urgent. These include operations for conditions that commonly cause long absences from work, such as cataracts, gall stones, varicose veins, slipped discs and hernias.

Challenging stressful times Employees can call a confidential 24-hour freephone counselling and advice line and can benefit from up to six face-to-face counselling sessions, which could prove to be beneficial for employees who may be struggling to cope during these difficult times.

Staff are on hand to help employees deal with problems such as stress, debt, relationship difficulties and bereavement.

Westfield also offers a 24 hour GP telephone consultation benefit which enables policyholders and their resident family members to speak to a fully qualified UK GP at a time convenient to them, from anywhere in the world.

now wholeheartedly recommend it to our member businesses.

“The plan enables us to provide staff with great healthcare benefits and allows us to show our employees how much we care about their health and well-being.

“As an employer, we have certainly benefited from Foresight. We have a relatively small team, so it is important that our employees stay fit and healthy. The plan allows staff to take a pro-active role in their own healthcare, which is obviously of benefit to them as well as to our business.

“We have also been delighted with the For Kids and Fitness and Well-being cover, which both enhance our staff benefits further.

“We recommend the Foresight Plan to our member businesses because it works – it’s as simple as that. If you are looking for a plan to provide your employees with comprehensive healthcare cover at relatively little cost to your business, then Foresight is the right one to choose.

“Westfield provides great customer service at every level and they are a really professional company to deal with.

“We have been pleased with every aspect of the plan and have received great feedback not only from our own employees but from member businesses who have introduced the plan following our recommendation.

Some members of staff were unaware of just how comprehensive the cover is and were pleasantly surprised that they were entitled to be reimbursed for their dental and optical check-ups.”

For further information contact Margaret Toms, Head of Membership Services on 023 80 206154 or email m.toms@sotonchamber.co.uk

As the GPs take into account personal medical history, they are, in many cases, able to provide a diagnosis of symptoms and recommend an appropriate course of action.

What the Chamber says about the Foresight Plan: Lorraine Gourley, office manager at the Chamber, said: “We initially introduced the Foresight Plan in November 2004 and have been so pleased with the benefits that we

Opportunities in challenging times As new markets emerge and grow around the world, you may find yourself making a monumental decision about your company: whether or not to export.

With many domestic markets slowing down or stagnating, increasing numbers of UK companies are deciding to export in order to increase income or spread the risk by diversifying into overseas markets. Research from Glasgow University has shown that companies that export increase their productivity on average by 34%, but it’s a big step and there are many important questions to consider: How do I know if I’m ready to start exporting? In the current economic climate, is this really the best time to look overseas? Which markets should I choose? How can I research my market?

The task can be daunting, but it doesn’t have to be a leap into the unknown. With help from UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) , thousands of companies are now reaping the rewards of a globalising economy.

UKTI is a government organisation dedicated to helping companies achieve their full business potential and succeed in international markets. It combines the expertise of local UKTI International Trade Advisers (ITAs) with UK-wide resources like the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office’s (FCO) global network of Trade Development Officers (TDO).

Chris Burchell from UKTI South East said: “The current economic climate provides a huge incentive for UK firms to identify new markets and evaluate potential for export development, enterprises can reap the benefits of exchange rates and position themselves to take full advantage when growth returns. Many businesses are now deciding to seize the day and enter new markets, spreading risk and reducing dependence on domestic business whilst creating an additional revenue stream.

“Understanding the business culture of an overseas market is of vital importance. Countries all over the world have different cultural standards, expectations, procedures and traditions and in many ways the business culture is often more important than the linguistic issues that a business will face.

There is far more to the art of communicating when you are exporting than just speaking the language - you can always hire a translator, but you must appreciate important points of business etiquette in your dealings overseas.”

For example, it is especially important when dealing with countries like China to be culturally sensitive.

Chinese company information leaflets commonly use simplified characters but users of traditional characters, such as in Taiwan, may be offended by

their use on a leaflet intended for them. A business needs to carefully consider every aspect of its marketing, from the website – which might be full of acronyms that would mean nothing to an overseas customer – to business cards.

One of the key ways UKTI South East can help to assist businesses in developing an effective communications strategy is an Export Communications Review. From a company’s website and publications right down to the way it conducts meetings, an Export Communications Review assesses all aspects of a company’s methods of communication. Getting the basics right and understanding how to do business abroad will help improve relationships with overseas customers and agents/distributors and help businesses manage enquiries from export markets competently, efficiently and professionally. The bottom line is to increase export turnover.

But however much information a company can gather, very few feel that they are really ready for a new market without making that all-important overseas trip. A visit to the country and market where you wish to export is an eye-opening experience and an opportunity to build on the understanding and knowledge already gained from research findings. To live and breathe your market, meet potential suppliers or agents and get a real insider’s knowledge of and ‘feel’ for a country is very important.

There are numerous ways to gain this experience, from networking with key market contacts at the UK Embassies, High Commissions and Consulates to attending international trade shows or by taking part in a UKTI Trade Mission to visit overseas markets.

Whilst business owners need to conduct ‘on the ground’ research they also need to prepare their staff for dealing with overseas markets. Often it is employees that are ‘at the coalface’, in direct contact with suppliers and customers and dealing with any issues that arise; they are a company’s overseas ambassadors, so they must be equipped to deal with the range of challenges and new ways of working that exporting will bring. Understanding sensitive cultural issues and behaviour, learning to handle export regulations and new documentation, and perhaps even communicating in a new language are just a few of the many new challenges they will face.

Knowing that many SMEs are viewing the economic slowdown as an opportunity to research and explore new markets, UKTI South East has launched an essential knowledge base for new and experienced exporters, a new online forum called ‘Export Talk’ (www.uktisoutheast.com/forum). This international trade forum provides both experienced exporters and companies new to international trade with a

unique opportunity to share best practice, discuss international business issues and pass on their top tips for trading abroad.

Logistics & Customs. Guidance on Sales & Marketing, Starting Up and Taxes is also available.

The site is aimed primarily at companies based in the South East, however, companies based anywhere in the UK can also view selected content and benefit from the ongoing discussion threads and advice.

Sector Overviews give an excellent insight and members can find out about priority overseas markets; countries with opportunities for UK companies in each sector; access useful facts and figures about the size of the market per sector and key, ‘must attend’ events.

This innovative site gives free expert knowledge on doing business overseas and allows companies in the South East to connect to expert international trade knowledge 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with direct access to 36 impartial, experienced UKTI ITAs.

CONFERENCE & EXHIBITIONS

The personal touch With the world getting ever smaller thanks to communications technology, it can sometimes feel an impersonal place.

However, anyone in business will tell you that faceto-face contact remains the best way of bringing in new contracts and retaining existing ones.

For many businesspeople, the place to do that is conferences, exhibitions and trade shows, which remain as popular as ever in many sectors.

The reason for that is that, despite advances in computers and electronics, humans still have a fundamental need to look each other in the eye when communicating. Flexible and efficient as it is, the Internet simply cannot satisfy that basic requirement.

Such events are also excellent because they offer companies the chance to present their wares in a way which encourages visitors to spend a little time browsing through the material on offer.

That initial interest can, in turn, allow for conversations to start, relationships to develop and deals to be struck, either on the spot or in followup meetings after the all-important exchange of cards.

For some business people, it may be the only time they meet over a year but even a few minutes in each other’s company can be enough to ensure that the connections are refreshed and strengthened.

Business has always been, and always will be, about the personal touch.

Because such events remain popular, there are plenty of opportunities for those companies who can put together teams which make them happen, who can find the best stand erectors, lighting riggers, sound experts, caterers and marketing specialists.

Towns and cities can benefit from staging such event as well because of the reputation which they garner from having a good conference centre.

For companies seeking to relocate, the presence of a venue where they can host big and impressive events can be a key factor when making the decision.

There are plenty of other knock-on benefits from hosting such events: exhibitors and visitors need to use local services, stay in local accommodation, eat in local restaurants and use local taxi companies.

That investment can mean jobs.

Sometimes it makes good sense to make an exhibition of yourself!

History of Winchester Guildhall

winchester GUILDHALL

Early History

Kings Court

Winchester Guildhall is on the site of an estate granted by Alfred the Great to his wife Ealswith probably as a coronation gift in ad 871.

After his death she retired there and founded a nunnery known as Nunnaminster. Known in the later medieval ages as St. Mary’s Abbey, it was one of the foremost nunneries in England. In 1539 Henry VIII dissolved the abbey and the site passed to the crown. The land came into the city’s hands to help defray its costs for hosting the wedding Mary Tudor and Philip of Spain in Winchester Cathedral in 1554.

Before 1892 this was the site of the city’s police station and fire brigade. Kings Court was designed by the local architect JB Colson to house the city library and Winchester School of Art. Started in 1892 and completed in 1893. Its façade in the Gothic revival style was to compliment, but be distinct from, that of the Guildhall. The building was gutted by fire in 1969 and in 1978 the upper floor, still unroofed, was used as a museum store . The building was repaired in 1980s and occupied by a series of commercial enterprises until the city council reoccupied the building in 2007.

Sharon Palmer, Guildhall Business Development Officer explains “The key thing about our historic building is that given its size and versatility we can provide a solution for everybody. We have wellequipped rooms to suit all occasions, each with its own distinctive character and personality. When it comes to staging conferences and events there really is nothing else like the Guildhall in the area.”

With its range of different size function rooms and onsite catering, it is easy to see why the Guildhall appeals to so many conference and meeting organisers.

The catering services offered at the venue are second to none.

With a comprehensive range of food options for business meetings and conferences, and fine dining menus for business dinners and social events, the Guildhall really can accommodate all corporate requirements.

The Guildhall Winchester’s earliest guildhall was located next to the Butter Cross in a small chamber above the passageway leading from the High Street to the cathedral. In 1712 it occupied the upper chamber of the Old Market House on the High Street, while the ground floor served as a covered market. The expansion of civic responsibilities following the Municipal Corporation Act of 1835 markedly changed the role of guildhalls and Winchester needed a newer and larger building.

The Hastings architectural firm Jeffrey and Skiller submitted a design in the Gothic revival style. On 22nd December 1871 Viscount Eversley laid the foundation stone and in May 1873 Lord Selborne opened the new Guildhall. The total cost of construction was £16,000.

The three day delegate rates at Winchester Guildhall, appropriately named St Cross, St Giles and St Catherine’s, to reflect the close ties the venue has with the City, are ideal for customers looking for an all inclusive deal. Sharon continued, “Our delegate rates were introduced last year to reflect the demand from our customers and the conference market for value for money for their event bookings with us. By offering three different rates we are acknowledging differing and changing customer requirements. Our pricing policy also incorporates a range of incentives including reduced rates for consecutive days hire, multiple booking discounts and a discounted rate for charities and not-forprofit organisations.

You can reach a member of the team by calling 01962 840 820 or by email to guildhall@winchester.gov.uk Further details about the venue may be found at www.winchesterguildhall.co.uk

The Guildhall was part of a larger complex, housing the law courts, police station and fire brigade. The greater part was given over to civic roles including council meetings, mayor making ceremonies, the mayor’s leaving banquet, and the mayor’s charity events.

Events for larger audiences occurred on the Broadway where the Guildhall grand façade formed a backdrop to the podium on the staircase. These included the victory celebrations following World War I and royal visit of George VI and Queen Elizabeth on the 17th May 1946.

For a building of Gothic revival design, the Guildhall façade is relatively uncluttered. Its decoration includes four statues of kings and bishops with Winchester connections. Placed in the arches above the principle windows are sculpted panels showing events reflecting the ancient dignity of the mayor and major events in the city’s history.

In pride of place is the central panel below the clock tower that shows Florence de Lunne, Winchester’s mythical 1st mayor, receiving the city’s charter from King Henry II.

MARKETING & COMMUNICATION

Where creativity is king

As with so many other business sectors, marketing and communication has found itself having to cope with the dramatic development of technology over recent years.

Going back twenty years, the main way for public relations agencies to convey information about their clients was through the post, sending out hardcopy press releases and printed photographs.

What brought about the major change was the advent of email. Suddenly, it did not take a press release two days to reach a media outlet, it took two seconds, and all done at the press of a button.

The effect has been dramatic: suddenly a PR agency sending out a release can see it hitting the web within minutes, particularly as many media outlets now consider themselves as much Internet providers as conveying news through their more traditional formats.

That in itself has created new outlets and PR agencies are aware of the growth in independent websites or those run by organisations which focus on their particular field of speciality.

However, that does not mean that more traditional outlets are being ignored. Far from it. The newspapers, radio and television remain important, it is just that for many PR specialists, hits on the web is where their successes are increasingly being recorded.

However, there is more to promoting a business than the good old press release and marketing companies know that, which is why they are becoming increasingly inventive.

Their ideas go way beyond PR, seeing great opportunities offered by the Internet as well as the proliferation of independent television and radio stations, many of which offer great opportunities to get the message out there.

Good marketing experts realise that the companies who fare best in this hothouse of creativity are those who think - to use a modern, but very appropriate, clichĂŠ - outside the box.

That has resulted, for instance, in companies sponsoring television and radio programmes in return for a mention in the advertising breaks.

Other companies experiment with the likes of podcasts and flash banner advertising on websites or taking advantage of the exciting revolution in hand-held technology and the opportunities it offers for downloads.

For other companies, producing their own publications is the key and those who succeed are the ones who value creativity above everything else, who dedicate time and effort to getting the look and the text right so that they make for attractive and informative reads.

For all marketing experts, it is about making the client stand out. Whether it be attractive adverts in magazines and newspapers or inventive use of downloads and websites, creativity holds the key to success.

Brand means business BRAND is something most marketers take particularly seriously. And those who don’t, should.

Why? It’s a no-brainer. If you create a solid brand, you forge a durable link between you and your customers. Not only will they understand what to think about your product or service but, crucially, they will know how they feel about it.

How your audience feels about you is the beating heart of a good brand. It’s easy explaining all the rational bits – competitive pricing, comparative features and benefits, or the simplicity of your online purchasing system.

But engaging your market emotionally is where the real, long-term gains are to be had.

Put simply, your brand is who you are, what you do, and how you do it. It’s a two-way street… you meet your customers head-

by Paul Cook, Strategic Director, Leepeckgroup

on and greet them with the credibility and likeability they desire and expect from you. In return, they buy your products and recommend you to their friends.

Are you well connected?

When you ‘connect’ with a customer, you’re tapping into a complex set of values and principles they believe in and live by. And in so doing, you satisfy a need in them. This could be a practical need, or a less tangible one. Or both. If the way you communicate with your audience tells them what they want to hear, in the way they’d like to hear it, then you’re one (significant) step closer to converting.

After that, you must work hard to maintain momentum. Look carefully at your brand and the components from which it is forged. Are they robust, meaningful and importantly, consistently applied to all communications?

Leepeckgroup’s managing director Sue Thomas and strategic director Paul Cook

If not, then you run the risk of diluting your brand, losing customers and making heavy work of attracting new ones.

But if you get it right, and keep it so, it will reflect well on your bottom line. And that should make you feel good, right?

LEGAL

Keeping on the right side of the law The law, it is said, is a minefield, which is why seeking expert legal advice is crucial in so many situations.

Those people who have tried to save money by dispensing with the services of a solicitor have often found themselves deep in trouble because they ignored that basic mantra.

The reason lawyers are so important lies in the complexity of law, a complexity that is constantly changing.

Very few laws are simple and in an age where a compensation culture is increasingly prevalent, getting the right advice at the right time is important.

Take business law: everything from health and safety rules to retail legislation can present challenges and a single mistake can lead to a potentially costly breach. The result could be a fine, a court appearance or a large compensation pay-out.

There is also a myriad of law surrounding competition: when is an advert unfair, is a product over-hyped, are the statements made about it correct, is an unfair advantage being taken over a competitor?

Each and every one of these may require expert legal guidance and it is always worth seeking out those companies that specialise in the field in question.

A general lawyer, for instance, may not know enough about patents law to give adequate advice but is likely to know someone who does.

But the basic, overriding message is never to mess with the law. Never assume that you know better than the experts, never gamble on the ‘barrack room lawyer’ who reckons they are right.

Ignoring the advice can be as costly as it comes.

C O N S U LTA N T S

The aim of this consultancy is to help business people understand Business Law. How? - by talking to those business owners and by researching their concerns to produce publications which will increase their awareness.

There is also a ‘daily default fine’ which, if the offence continues, is payable by the Company and “every officer who is in default”. The amount payable if it is ignored is not insignificant.

Let me put some numbers on it. You are about to go on holiday; you are not only panicking because you have not packed, but you receive a Notice from the Registrar of Companies telling you that you have failed to file forms or send out Notices within the time limit. You toss it aside deciding to look at it when you get back from holiday in three weeks time.

When you get back, having sorted out some major or even minor problems, you pick up the Notice.

Then discover that there is a Level 3 fine of £1,000 for the Company, yourself and your three officers, who might have been able to do something in your absence. That’s £5,000. But that’s not all.

Because you have not complied with the date on the Notice, for, say, 20 days, there is this ‘daily default fine’. It takes a week or so to get together the figures or documents required; let’s call it 10 days. That is already 30 days chargeable days, then add on the 1/10th (for Level 3) of £1,000 (£100). So there is a fine of £5,000 plus Daily default fine of £15,000 and continuing.

Would you prefer to avoid this pitfall?

Remember also that a prison sentence may result in the individual being disqualified as a Director or other officer in a Company!

The first publication is a handbook on company law.

This handbook takes out from the 3 Company Law Acts (1985, 1989 and 2006) the penalties that are imposed under those Acts. The two earlier Acts have not been repealed in full, so are included.

The penalties can be a prison sentence of 2 to 10 years, or a fine. It is not just ‘a’ fine as is shown below:

This handbook covers these Acts only, but does not contain all the changes that have been made since the 2006 Act by Statutory Instrument or other Orders. It would become too large. For that same reason, the sections are not set out in full, but draws attention to the relevant problem.

An explanation of legal words or phrases in plain English is also given as appropriate.

The price of the book is £35.

For further details or to order: Bryon-Fogg@ntlworld.com Tel: 01489 576173

The fines are based on 5 levels, according to the seriousness of the offence: Level 1 is £200 Level 2 is £500 Level 3 is £1,000 Level 4 is £2,500 Level 5 is £5,000

Mediation Services Mediation is a fast, cost-effective and confidential alternative to litigation with a success rate of around 80%.

Our qualified mediators bring the parties together in order to assist them to reach a workable solution

acceptable to both. Mediators cannot impose a solution on the parties so they will remain in control at every stage. The aim of mediation is to reach a practical and creative solution which may be outside the range of remedies available to the court.

It is not necessary to bring lawyers to mediation sessions but those attending mediation can of course retain their legal team and the benefit of their legal advice throughout the process. In commercial cases mediation can often be completed in one day.

Mediation is actively encouraged by the Courts as a means of resolving disputes to avoid lengthy and costly litigation. In some cases the Courts will insist that the parties at least consider mediation before proceeding through the court process.

The mediation process is entirely without prejudice, so if for some reason it does not result in settlement the parties will not have compromised their positions in any subsequent court proceedings.

At Eighteen Carlton Crescent we offer mediation in commercial, personal and family disputes of any size or nature. We will provide a neutral mediator to assist you in the resolution of your dispute.

All our mediators are practising barristers specialising in the areas of family and civil law who will use a process suitable for your particular case.

Before starting mediation you will have an opportunity to discuss with one of our mediators any worries or concerns that you may have and help you decide whether mediation is right for you.

If you would like further information regarding any of our services, please do not hesitate to contact our Practice Manager, Amanda White on 023 8020 6200, or by email: amandawhite@18carltoncrescent.co.uk

TRAINING

Keeping ahead of the game One of the first expenditures to suffer cutbacks during tough economic times is training.

However, making such reductions is a false economy which can only store up problems for the future.

So why should companies that are watching the pennies continue to invest in training?

Well, there a few good reasons. One is that the law demands it in many cases.

Take health and safety, an area where legislation is changing so rapidly that training needs to be up to date to ensure that companies do not put their people at risk. Or end up in court.

Those involved in training argue that it gives companies a cutting edge because it helps ensure that employees are innovative. If they do not open their minds to different ways of thinking, they are unlikely to take advantage of opportunities when they present themselves.

Trainers acknowledge that, in a recession, it is tempting to scrap training budgets and neglect the development of a company’s most important asset, their people.

However, they say that investing in talented staff can make all the difference when it comes to winning contracts and launching new ventures. It could even be the difference between survival and failure.

However, there is another good reason to continue training, which is nothing to do with meeting legislation and everything to do with keeping ahead of the competition.

How can mastering your Emotional Capital gain you competitive advantage?

For ten years the research has told us that to be successful in our personal and professional lives we need emotional intelligence(EQ).

In particular, recent research has established clear links between specific emotional skills and outstanding leadership success. We know that having great leaders at every level of the business is the key to attracting and, most importantly, retaining talent. Emotional Capital is the most important source of competitive advantage in business today.

Emotional capital

Masters of mood

Ten dynamic emotions that drive leadership success

This research challenges the conventional wisdom that good leaders use their authority to dominate followers and tell them what to do by enforcing compliance. The idea that effective leaders can use their charismatic personalities to manipulate others into conformity, no longer works. A new picture of leadership skills has emerged that better accounts for leadership performance. Great leaders have the skills to manage their emotions well and influence the emotions of other people toward positive outcomes. In other words, leaders must become masters of mood and lead organisations that excite energise and enthuse their customers.

Yes, but what specifically are these skills, can you really measure them, and more importantly how can people in business build them quickly and costeffectively?

To respond to this challenge we reviewed more than ten years of scientific research exploring the link.

a new psychology of emotional intelligence To test our model further, we recently surveyed a group of 27 elite business and community leaders from Leadership Victoria using the Emotional Capital Inventory™ – the first psychometrically reliable tool specifically designed to measure emotional intelligence and leadership ability.

Leadership Victoria represent a broad range of corporate, government and non-profit organisations in Australia and are identified as exemplary leaders in their field by a selection panel of fellows. Each member has a track record of experience and achievement in their field and a minimum of ten years experience.

So, what are the ten emotional skills that set these exceptional men and women apart from the rest?

These elite leaders scored higher than the average on every scale of emotional intelligence – the highest scores were on: self-reliance the emotional power to accept responsibility, back personal judgments and be self-reliant in planning and making important decisions; self-confidence the ability to maintain self-respect and personal confidence; relationship skills the knack for characterised by positive expectations. In terms of leading a business, these three competencies enable a leader to model self-assured behaviour; communicate a clear view of the organisation’s vision and direction; inspire the confidence of others, and gain their support and commitment to building successful relationships – not only with employees and customers, but with everyone the business touches.

A second cluster of high scores that distinguish these leaders included: optimism not just ‘the glass is half full’ kind, but optimism as a strategy – as a way of dealing with difficulties and sensing opportunities. Emotionally intelligent leaders look on the brighter side of life and sense opportunities even in the face of adversity. They are resilient, can see the big picture and where they are going, and are able to focus on the possibilities of what can be achieved.

Secondly, they scored well on Self-Awareness – emotionally intelligent leaders are aware of their emotional experience and have the capacity to recognise how their feelings and emotions impact

www.soton-chamber.co.uk

on their personal opinions, attitudes and judgments. In other words, they remain open to discovering new things about themselves and are not afraid to modify their behaviour. Thirdly, this cluster included self-Actualisation – high scores on this skill suggest that these leaders know how to manage their reserves of emotional energy and have achieved an effective level of work/ life balance. They appear to thrive in setting challenging personal and professional goals and their enthusiasm is likely to be contagious.

and maintaining a consistent leadership presence and for becoming a ‘trusted advisor’ to people.

leaders like this can have on the people around them. Building these skills in leaders is the key to attracting, developing and retaining talent in any business and the major source of competitive advantage.

Emotional capital The final group of skills that differentiated these leaders from the rest included:

the most important addition to the balance sheet

assertiveness – this suggests that they are able to express their feelings, thoughts and beliefs openly in a straightforward way, while respecting the fact that others may hold a different opinion or expectation. They are comfortable challenging the views of others and give clear messages.

These leadership skills add real commercial value to the balance sheet, and this value can be measured in any successful business as emotional capital. Leaders high in emotional capital create value and influence through their capacity to identify with the emotional experience and aspirations of their people, and build shared identities with them. Accordingly, they are able to establish trust, understand people’s need to belong to a group, create and communicate compelling visions, develop blueprints for action, and lead through their ability to motivate people to act together in concert.

In short, emotional capitalists represent leaders with the advanced capacity of being able to guide people to action from within by engaging the prime movers of behaviour – emotions.

The second skill in this cluster included flexibility – the ability to adapt thinking, feelings and actions in response to changing situations and be tolerant of others, and receptive to new ideas. In other words, they are champions of change. Not surprisingly, they also scored well on empathy. This is the skill that enables a person to grasp the emotional dimension of a business situation and create resonant connections with others.

This is also the skill that makes talent dance in an organisation. Finally, they scored well on self-control - emotionally intelligent leaders have the ability to manage their emotions well and restrain their actions until they have time to think rationally. They are able to stay calm in stressful situations and maintain productivity without losing control. This skill is critical to building

If emotional capital is the creative energy that your people bring to work and the enthusiasm that customers have for your company and products, then emotional capitalists are leaders who manage their own emotional energy well and know how to inspire others to create products, solve problems and deliver superior service.

It’s simply amazing to see the impact that

MEDIA

The age of truly mass media It may sound amazing as an idea but a decade ago, the word website was one which was foreign to most people and most home computers were the size of microwaves and took ages to process even the most simple of information. Assuming they did not crash in the process.

But the past decade has seen a dramatic change and the media is moving so rapidly that it is difficult to keep up with all the innovations being introduced.

The result is that new media has become an exciting opportunity for those prepared to take advantage of the new horizons coming into view.

It offers new ways of reaching clients and selling products and services.

More and more businesses are taking advantage of the new media not just in the way they communicate with their clients.

Podcasts, websites, downloads, email, social networking sites, all of these innovations are changing the way people work and making information more accessible than it has ever been before.

Take websites as an example. More and more companies have realised that a bog standard website is no longer enough, that a good website

needs to have a sense of movement about it, be constantly updated and to be designed to make life easier for those visiting it.

The truly switched-on companies have also realised that new technologies give them terrific ways of getting in touch with large numbers of customers through electronic databases which allow them to send out mass emails which update people on projects and products.

Many of those mail-outs are inventive in their nature because companies also realise that they need to provide value for money even if the email is free, which has resulted in newsletters and company magazines finding new life in the 21st Century.

Downloads offer similar opportunities: people live at such a pace and are so often on the move that they want to take their technology with them which has seen the rapid development of hand-held devices which do everything from making phone calls and receiving emails to using GPS to locate destinations and give access to online information services.

Everywhere you look there are rapid advances: more television channels than ever before, more radio stations than at any stage in history, a massive Internet and a profileration of new devices that drive change forward.

Mass media, it would seem, has come of age.

SCIENCE TECHNOLOGY

Innovation moving at a breathtaking pace The importance of science and technology cannot be underestimated.

It shapes the way we live and the way we think and has the potential to dramatically change the world around us even more in the years to come.

Never before have there been so many businesses working in the scientific field, developing ideas which can be transformed into hard commercial realities.

At the core of science and technology has always been innovation and the ability of people to challenge accepted truths.

One of the areas in which that is very pronounced is in the development of new medical treatments and pharmaceutical drugs.

Companies plough many millions of pounds into research which comes up with the kind of breakthroughs that can lead to products and drugs which can change people‘s lives for ever.

Companies, many of them multinational corporations, others small-scale businesses with a bright idea or two, are working in fields as diverse as the search for the cure for cancer or better ways of dealing with the conditions that accompany ageing, one of the big health agendas of the moment.

Many such breakthroughs start with academics and recent years have seen strenuous efforts to bring together academia in universities and business people who can see the potential in their ideas.

Another area in which the science and technological focus is strong is in communications. Just twenty years ago, the Internet was a vague new concept, Ipods something from far in the future and Blackberries something you picked off a bush.

But today, that situation has been transformed thanks to companies which have either come up with products of their own or adapted existing technologies for new uses.

The fascinating thing is each time a new product arrives on the market - and people marvel at its ingenuity - it is not long before someone produces a new generation of it.

Of course, scientific innovation is as old as Man himself - Galileo, Isaac Newton, Pasteur, the names run off the tongues - but the real revolution has been the computer, an invention which has brought about a rapid advance in science.

Because it can carry out complex calculations or conduct complicated modelling exercises in a fraction of the time that it would take the human mind, it has made possible staggering advances in scientific thinking. Suddenly, a concept that would take months, if not years, to test can be examined in a matter of hours.

The successful companies are the ones which harness those latest technologies to make themselves more efficient and more inventive.

And companies which embrace technology also realise that computers can be used to allow their creative people greater scope to sit back and ask the crucial question that drives all science - what if?’

The result has been the creation of increasing numbers of new companies which operate on a global scale and create jobs and investment in the process.

81G

AAP3

81G made the decision to move it’s headquarter to the Science Park some 18 months ago following a management buyout from its then parent company. Before moving to the park, 81G were based in an office at a local marina. With some clients already based on the park and staff who regularly commuted to London and further afield it became an obvious choice to locate ourselves at heart of the park.

The decision was reinforced by wanting somewhere safe, scalable, and convenient for staff and clients, a base that would service the current needs of 81G and assist with its expansion plans. 81G has grown from strength to strength over this period and now provides IT support to a number of the tenants within the park.

aap3 (previously known as Preferred International) was founded in 1998 by a team of technology service specialists. The founders devised a specific managed IT service solution and were quickly working with large corporate clients such as Cisco and IBM. From the start the company grew at exceptional speed and in 2003 was ranked as Britain’s 29th fastest growing company in the Sunday Times Virgin Fast Track 100 listing. The company’s base of operations was founded in ‘The Incubator’ offices on Southampton University Science Park (previously Chilworth Science Park).

The Science Park provides a seamless package to tenants seeking an all encompassing facility. 81G understands and embraces the needs of those tenants ensuring that all aspects of their IT is integrated and supported ensuring that they are left to focus on their core activities.

The current economic climate has seen many businesses downsize or close down completely. 81G has managed through the wide spread of its clients and the good service it provides to continue with its growth plan and have added a new location in Warwick earlier in the year.

81G has a plethora of engineers and locations strategically spread across the UK to ensure all service levels can be met for both local and national companies. It is through this spread of locations that 81G is able to offer Science Park tenants, local and national companies a first class IT support service.

It is our mission to become our clients IT department, whether it’s assisting with new ventures as their business takes off or fully managing their IT function for larger established companies.

81G’s tailor the approach and service depending on the clients requirements and needs always aiming to reduce costs and improve efficiencies where possible. www.81G.org

In parallel to Jackson’s appointment, the company was re-branded to aap3 to encompass all the business areas in which the company now delivered. aap3 is an acronym for ‘All About People’ and the 3 represents the three areas in which the company excels – People, Process and Productivity. The company’s mission, as stated in the logo, is ‘enabling business’. aap3 is now one of the largest providers of IT services to several market leading multi-national organizations globally. In 2009, aap3 have registered offices in the UK, across Europe and US, with a footprint spanning the globe and operating in over 15 countries. aap3’s client base has also grown to include a broad range of companies from a variety of industries and sectors, delivering both business to business and to the end user. aap3 currently delivers globally in 3 specific areas; IT Engineering, Business Solutions and Recruitment. The solution areas cover a multitude of diverse offerings from advanced IT Engineering, Business Intelligence, Managed Services and Software Development to Web Design, Marketing, Video Production, Vendor Management and Recruitment. Each solution area is headed by an industry leading expert whose knowledge of the market has allowed aap3 to drive through the economic gloom and continue to grow despite inhospitable conditions.

To accommodate aap3’s continued growth, the company headquarters moved into the newly developed ‘Benham Campus’ offices on the Southampton University Science Park in October 2009. The office provides extensive room for future growth and also an address to compliment the company’s reputation for in the industry.

Commenting on the future of aap3, Rod Jackson, President and CEO said, “aap3 has great plans for the future and we will not rest until we are the premier strategic business enabler to the Global Enterprise & SME market. Watch this space.” www.aap3.com

Southampton Science Park The University of Southampton Science Park is situated on an appealing rural site, with close proximity to major transport routes and Southampton University. It is an established wholly owned subsidiary of the University and operates on an arm’s length commercial basis. Primarily formed to support early stage technology businesses, the Science Park now accommodates over 60 companies of various sizes including world leaders such as Cisco Systems and Merck Chemicals. All the companies on the park are engaged in research, development, ‘high tech’ manufacturing or services which directly support businesses on the park.

Southampton Science Park stands out as a site offering a high quality working environment.

Onsite companies can provide tenants with a wealth of expertise, including IT and telephony support, financial and recruitment services. This is a reciprocal relationship for service providers on the Science Park who, in turn, benefit from being in close proximity to potential clients. Sam Hinton, Director of Sales for 81g (an onsite IT Services Provider) states “As a result of our success in building a good solid client base on the science park we are beautifully positioned for growth and convenience”.

What support is there for start up businesses?

What companies are on site?

The Chilworth Business Incubator offers small companies the opportunity to benefit from flexible leasing arrangements (including “easy-in/ easyout” accommodation) and access to shared facilities (for example meeting rooms and photocopiers). In addition, support is available through the Solent Innovation Growth Network and a variety of companies located on the park offering services ranging from financial support to web development.

The Science Park welcomes businesses of various sizes with space ranging from 200sq ft to 16,000 sq ft. Accommodation can be fitted out to tenants’ specifications and there are some opportunities for companies to acquire Science Park land on long-lease terms, allowing them to construct their own custom-designed buildings. If a company outgrows its accommodation the Science Park will give priority to existing tenants wishing to expand their accommodation footprint. They will work with you to find appropriate space on the Park and will allow you to surrender your existing lease without a penalty. For example, aap3 have been on the Science park since the company was founded eleven years ago They have progressed from the Incubator Unit to their own state of the art building on the newly completed Benham Campus.

What links are there with The University of Southampton?

The Science Park and the University enjoy close links, giving tenant companies access to some of the UK’s leading scientific expertise. About 25% of the companies on the Park originated from the University, either as spin-outs or as the brain-child of individual academic staff. This includes Science Park-based companies Perpetuum, Ilika and Nanotecture which have been named in The Guardian’s clean tech top 100 of ‘Europe’s Hottest Clean Technology Companies’. It is also the place of work for 130 Southampton graduates, representing a diverse range of disciplines from Music to Chemistry.

Small fast-growing technology companies thrive alongside household names like Merck and BskyB. The Science Park has a reputation for excellence and is home to variety of prestigious companies.

For example Fibercore, which was the world’s leading developer and manufacturer of speciality optical fibres, was the first and only company to hold Queen’s Awards for Enterprise simultaneously in all three categories: International Trade, Innovation and Sustainable Development.

The Science Park is dedicated to meeting the changing needs of their tenants. They have extended their leasing opportunities to include allocated desks in shared offices as well as a ‘Virtual Tenancy’ system. This enables start-up companies to have a professional address without the expense of renting a dedicated office or making any long term commitments. “The ‘allocated desks’ system was ideal as it gave us the flexibility that we sought” said Myles Jeffery, Managing Director of Thinkscape Ltd, “Only one month’s notice was required while rates, desks and high speed internet are all included in the monthly fee. It was simply a case of moving in and starting business the same day”.

There is also a wealth of networking opportunities on site. The Solent Innovation Growth Team (IGT) has a strong presence on the Science Park and encourages businesses and entrepreneurs to benefit from professional services firms, business mentors and partner organisations. The Science Park plans to facilitate a range of informal sessions, on topical issues, as well as the opportunity for tenants and external clients to effectively engage with each other.

What services are on site?

Some of the services on the park include: Real Broadband, ample parking, archive storage space, CCTV, showers and changing facilities. The Science Park evokes a sense of community with onsite amenities including a coffee shop, newly refurbished meeting rooms, a Conference Suite and the luxury hotel and leisure club at Chilworth Manor.

Facilities Department and Company Office is also based on the Park to assist tenants.

The Science Park proudly sponsors of The Test Valley Business Awards which emphasises the exceptional quality of businesses in the local area.

Chief Executive, Peter Birkett, explained why he chose to sponsor the ‘Innovation and Technology’ award, “I hope it will recognise the successful businesses that are emerging in this region as at the Science Park we are keen to encourage fresh ideas and pioneering technology”

What makes Southampton Science Park’s location so unique?

The Science Park is situated alongside a 40 acre ecological site managed by Chilworth Conservation Ltd. The protected area is a unique habitat for many rare species and provides the Science Park with an idyllic green space that is used for a variety of purposes. It provides a welcome break from the office at lunchtime and also offers volunteering opportunities.

Merck Chemicals in Southampton Merck Introduction Merck is a global pharmaceutical and chemical enterprise with around 33,000 employees in 60 countries and total revenues of around 7.6 billion (2008). The Pharmaceuticals business sector comprises innovative prescription drugs as well as over-the-counter products. The Chemicals business sector offers specialty products for the electronics, printing, coatings, cosmetics, pharmaceutical and biotech industries. The operational business is managed under the umbrella of Merck KGaA headquartered in Darmstadt (Germany). Around 30% of the company’s total capital is publicly traded, while the Merck family owns an interest of about 70% via the general partner E. Merck KG. Merck is the world’s oldest pharmaceutical and chemical company – its roots date back to 1668.

Merck’s Advanced Technology R&D in Chilworth, Southampton In Chilworth, on the Southampton University Science Park, Merck operates a technical centre dedicated to the development of unique, high quality products for technically demanding applications. Such products include materials for organic electronics, optical films for LCD’s and flexible displays.

Organic Electronics Merck are currently striving to enable the commercialization of organic electronic applications through the supply of ready to use semiconducting inks and the ancillary materials required to fabricate organic field effect transistor (OFET) devices and photovoltaic cells. OFET applications ranging from simple electronic gadgets to flexible backplanes for displays and item-level radio frequency identification tags have all been proposed and are now poised to appear in commercial products. For example, conformable electrophoretic, or e-paper, displays driven by OFET switching backplanes is a potentially exciting market entry product.

Lightweight, portable solar cells utilizing our light absorbing semiconducting polymers are also envisaged. The materials specifications for both applications are achievable with currently available Merck semiconducting materials.

Optical Films Optical Films can be made from Merck’s Reactive Mesogen (RM) technology. The main application for RM films is in viewing angle and brightness enhancement for LCD’s, especially for flat panel TV, monitor and laptop applications. Other products using RM films are transflective mobile phone displays, ultra-slim DVD pick-up lens systems, Camcorders and even 3D displays.

Merck RM products are ready-to-use, optimised formulations that are custom designed for each application and Customer. This requires a good understanding of all processes involved in the device manufacturing and the environmental requirements in the final application. We provide a high level of direct Customer support from Chilworth for Customers based in Japan, Korea and Taiwan. The M&S activities are coordinated from Darmstadt, as is the manufacturing of the RM mixtures.

Flexible Display Materials Flexible displays or “e-paper” displays are an emerging display technology. Demand is growing for slim, lightweight, portable displays offering features like non-rectangular form factor, ease of reading in bright sunlight and low power consumption.

Manufacturers of flexible displays need materials that enable production processing on plastic films or even paper and at ambient temperatures.

For flexible display applications, Merck is developing coloured electrophoretic microparticles.

In electrophoretic displays, images are formed by moving charged particles suspended in a liquid using an electric field. Black-and-white electrophoretic displays are already commercialized for e-book readers and mobile phones, but Merck electrophoretic microparticle formulations will enable flexible colour displays –a key element to enable broader adoption of the technology.

Extension to the R&D Facilities in Southampton The existing R&D programs in Chilworth are maturing and generating new business opportunities for Merck. New pipeline projects are planned in the fields of Flexible Display Materials and Organic Photovoltaics, which requires expansion of the facilities at Chilworth. Merck is currently investing £2.4M in extending the R&D facilities.

Laboratory construction is under-way and will be completed in December 2009 to generate capacity for 20 additional scientific staff. www.merckchem.co.uk

IT TECHNOLOGY

Harnessing the technological revolution

There was a time when many businesses viewed new technologies with foreboding, intimidated by the dramatically new ways of working which technological breakthroughs in computers were bringing about.

Those days are long gone and now the most successful businesses are the ones which harness the latest in technologies to make themselves more efficient and provide the best service to their customers.

They are the companies that realise that the latest computer technologies allow them to reap benefits in many areas, one of which is to ensure that tasks that once took many hours can now be done quickly. That can include everything from administrative tasks to scientific analysis.

That is invaluable for any company - especially a small one - because it means that skilled members of staff are not preoccupied on tasks which do not require their creativity. They can instead concentrate on developing new products and exploring opportunities.

Companies which embrace technology also realise that computers can be used to develop their people’s skills, extending their knowledge so that they can improve the way they work.

All of which makes for more efficient working and

also ensures that employees can feel a greater sense of job satisfaction, feeling that they really can make a difference and that there are opportunities to tap onto their creativity.

Another important reason to invest in IT and new technologies is to influence people’s attitudes towards the company: a company which does not have email or a website may be a valid business but there is a public perception that something is lacking.

More and more companies have taken that message on board and also realised that a bog standard website is no longer enough, that a good website needs to have a sense of movement about it, be constantly updated and can make life easier for those visiting it.

The truly switched-on companies have also realised that new technologies give them terrific ways of getting in touch with large numbers of customers through databases which allow them to send out mass emails which update people on projects and products.

Technology can also help companies seek out new customers through websites which make getting in touch easy.

And the rapid advance of hand-held technologies is opening up even more opportunities.

It is a far cry from the days when new computer technologies were regarded with foreboding.

CHARITY

When giving makes sense The charitable sector in the UK is huge with many millions of pounds being donated to good causes every year.

Causes are as varied as human activity, ranging from animal charities to medical research organisations, young people’s charities to those involved in developing community projects.

Medicine illustrates the size of the sector because it has been established that charitable donations to medical research now account for a third of public expenditure in the area.

Nationally, it is estimated that 40% of UK donors give to medical research, more than any other cause.

From cancer to arthritis, multiple sclerosis to heart conditions, people want to give money which they hope will bring cures closer. At the heart of their thinking is often loved ones who have fallen ill. That is why events like marathons and fun runs are so successful in raising funds.

And all that money does make a difference as organisation after organisation announces major breakthroughs, partially funded by charitable

donations. Without the charities, some of that work might not be done.

Another large sector is the animal charities, either to carry out work at home or to fund rescue operations for endangered animals abroad.

The charities attract millions of pounds each year, which allows them to employ staff and run sanctuaries.

Also attracting significant funding are organisations which tackle poverty abroad, whether it to be providing fresh and safe drinking water or funding schools in areas where children have no access to education. People in the UK are famed the world over for their generosity to other countries.

However, charity begins at home is an old saying and many charitable donations go to very local organisations.

Maybe it is a fund to send children from deprived areas on a bus trip, to build a community centre or to build a hospice. All these causes inspire people to give.

What is remarkable is that, despite the credit crunch and the recession, many people are still finding the wherewithal to dig into their pockets and keep donating. Such a fact stands testament to the human spirit.

LOGISTICS

Keeping on the move

With the world becoming an eversmaller global market, the need for companies specialised in logistics has never been greater.

That has become even more the case as increasing numbers of companies experiment with trading abroad, encouraged by the Government and business support agencies to explore the abundant opportunities.

The result has been that businesses across Yorkshire are taking on the challenges and trading in places as diverse as the burgeoning Chinese and Indian markets to those in the United States and Continental Europe.

To meet those orders, those companies require logistics experts who can deliver their goods rapidly, on time and efficiently.

These companies, whether they be road hauliers, shipping companies or airlines, are taking advantage of the increase in foreign trade.

They are finding themselves serving a wide range of customer, from the large supermarkets that need food delivering and conglomerates that need bulk chemicsl transported to the smaller businesses that need orders shipping out.

Between them, they offer a world of opportunity.

“Advocate, Inform, Engage” “Hampshire Economic Partnership delivers value by bringing together business, local government and regional agencies through influencing policy and supporting the economic prosperity of Hampshire and its cities.”

These include: n Building and Construction n Creative Industries n Innovation and Enterprise n Research and Intelligence n Marine Policy Group n Investment Land and Property n Transport and Logistics

The strategic direction of any business is important, even more so in this economic climate and with a new Chief Executive in place, HEP chose to review theirs including a full refresh of their branding and website design & content.

HEP has three core elements and all its work with stakeholders, partners, task groups and other organisations falls under these areas .

Advocate To collaborate with local authorities, SEEDA and other key stakeholders, in order to develop and maintain a strategic economic framework for Hampshire that identifies both key action plan priorities and lead-organisation responsibility for effective implementation of those plans. To promote locally, nationally and internationally the need for continuing new investment in jobs and wealth creation.

Inform To build from a strong research base, a common approach that co-ordinates and agrees the timely gathering, analysis and dissemination of the information needed to support effective policy development in support of the economy.

n Rural Economy

HEP has also identified two key themes which, through discussion and interaction, consistently emerge across the whole spectrum of economic sectors as being common concerns and opportunities for businesses and organisations.

They are seen as vital to the future economic recovery of Hampshire and have far reaching effects in addition to economic benefits. These themes are skills and sustainability.

HEP is working closely with public sector partners on various initiatives including public/private sector forums on future skills provision, accessing funds for job creation from UK and Europe, analysis work for sustainable cluster creation, event and conference organisation and much more.

HEP Task Groups have also identified these themes as definite foci – underpinning key projects and work for the coming months – and HEP has appointed a skills manager to work specifically on the workforce development agenda with partners and stakeholders.

Developing a workforce skilled and prepared for a post recession economy as well as supporting and underpinning sustainable processes, technologies and businesses is central to HEP’s commitment to helping support economic growth & prosperity.

Engage To facilitate effective ways of working together between the public and private sector that promote successful economic development, inform and influence local and regional economic development policy and improve business performance. To encourage and facilitate sustained engagement from all HEP partners in support of jointly agreed projects and services.

These three core elements are pushed forward by the work of HEP’s 8 direct trade sector task groups which reflect the needs of business within the area and provide an effective communication mechanism with regional and local government.

Sustainability

HEP Events

Sustainability and sustainable industries/ technologies play an important role across the Task Group spectrum for HEP. This sector is also seen as one of the emerging growth areas, important both economically and socially, to the future of the Hampshire economy.

HEP task groups are actively involved with a variety of events throughout the year. These have included:

Through collaboration and partnership working, the Task Groups are supporting this area through specific projects e.g. The Building & Construction Task Group not only organise visits to key sites of specific interest but work with other key partners such as the Sustainable Construction Network and the Sustainable Business Partnership to raise awareness of issues and promote sustainable construction practices.

Our Creative Industries Task Group is working in association with our Investment Land & Property Group to help the Open Space initiative – working with landlords to make available empty retail premises for creative artists. Our Transport & Logistics Task Group is a key player in the Transport Alliance where a central objective is to create a sustainable transport strategy for Hampshire.

Schools Marine Challenge: Around 100 school pupils and their teachers gathered in sunny Chertsey for the annual South East Schools Marine Challenge. The event was a triumph against the odds for organisers at the British Marine Federation, as the recession looked set to scupper the event in the shallows, when funding was drastically cut. As the marine industry currently provides around 25,000 direct jobs in Hampshire, HEP decided to continue its sponsorship of this event. HEP recognises that it is an investment in the future of the marine industry as well as being a fantastic opportunity for young pupils to showcase their skills.

Skills HEP is fully committed to supporting businesses across all sectors through the various skills and employment programmes available. These include Train to Gain, Apprenticeships and Management and Leadership grants.

In addition to this the HEP Task Groups provide a good source of evidence as to where gaps exist in skills provision and this is further enhanced by the creation of employer led Employment and Skills Boards across Hampshire.

These private /public sector boards will set out the framework for investing in skills and employment provision going forward, and HEP will be central to recruiting businesses and ensuring the ESBs meet their targets.

Investing in skills can be a key strategy in surviving the recession and building for the future but only if the Government ‘offer’ meets the need of businesses. This will be the message that HEP continues to promote to Government and public sector agencies.

Hampshire Farming Conference: The important role of agriculture in the economic future of the country has taken centre stage at this year’s Hampshire Farming Conference, organised by Hampshire County Council. The annual event supported by Hampshire Economic Partnership, saw experts from the world of farming share their perspective on the issues currently affecting the industry. Farming is the largest manufacturing sector of the UK economy employing four million people.

Delivering Sustainable Housing for Hampshire: The HEP Building and Construction Task Group in association with the Sustainable Construction Network held a conference to discuss the issues around sustainable housing. A selection of speakers addressed the group on a range of issues including a proposal for a Code 6 residential scheme in Southampton, the Code Energy

Matrix and the available technology and solutions to developing sustainable practices.

In addition, the conference brought together business and Local Authorities to jointly tackle the challenge of sustainability for housing. The two main outcomes of this event were: To move forward with the debate on Sustainability in the Built Environment, focusing on housing and to promote a shared understanding between the local public and private sectors of the challenges we face in this debate.

A Question of Business: Businesses across North Hampshire were invited to a special question and answer event, A Question of Business. The event was run by the North Hampshire and M3 Corridor Economic Board, whose partners are Hampshire Economic Partnership, Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council, Hart District Council, Rushmoor Borough Council, Test Valley Borough Council, Surrey Heath Borough Council and SEEDA. The event gave people the opportunity to pose questions to a panel of representatives from all of the local authorities, Hampshire Economic Partnership and business representatives from North Hampshire.

Skills Festival: Businesses and organisations in the region gave young people in Southampton and South West Hampshire the opportunity to think about their future and sample the vast array of careers and courses available to them. This year over 100 exhibitors attended the event, where they offered young people a chance to explore interactive, hands-on displays, which aim to give a taste of careers in a wide range of industries and commercial sectors.
