DORSET BUSINESS FOCUS / WELCOME
Hello and a very warm welcome to our June edition of Dorset Business Focus. I hope you are enjoying the longer days and this lovely Spring weather, probably my favourite time of year. I’d like to begin by offering our huge congratulations to AFC Bournemouth on their return to the Premier League, a fantastic achievement. We will all remember the celebrations when they made it into the league, Bournemouth was truly put on the global map. Under Chairman Jeff Mostyn, the club never lost hope when they went back to the Champions League and their return is just fantastic news. AFC Bournemouth has very deep roots in the business community, under the leadership of Commercial Director Rob Mitchell, and I am sure everyone will join me in offering their congratulations on their triumphant return. We are very proud of our Premier Business Partnership relationship with AFC Bournemouth. I’d also like to congratulate all the winners and finalists of the Dorset Apprenticeship Awards 2022, run by Dorset Chamber, Dorset and Somerset Training Provider Network and sponsors Superior Seals. The awards were presented to the winners and finalists by the Lord Lieutenant of Dorset with Cllr and Leader Spencer Flower from Dorset Council and Cllr Toby Johnson of BCP Council. Celebrating all
levels of apprenticeships, the stories were inspiring. We heard of the huge contribution apprentices make to the businesses they work in as well as the impact they have made on people’s personal lives. The awards also really highlighted the diversity and breadth of opportunity available through apprenticeships across all sectors at different levels. I’d like to say a huge thank you to all the people who entered the awards and the support from their employers and training providers. One of our drivers behind these awards is to continuously raise the profile of apprenticeships with not just possible candidates but also with employers, parents, and carers. We still see misconceptions and a lack of understanding about apprenticeships. As a parent, I am a huge fan of apprenticeships and the opportunity and start this has given my daughter in her career. If you’d like to find out more about apprenticeships, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. Ian Girling Chief Executive Dorset Chamber

They claimed the honours from a 12-strong shortlist of finalists when the awards were presented at Superior Seals in Ferndown. Tim Brown, Managing Director of Superior Seals, welcomed guests to the ceremony at the company’s impressive new Superior Seals Academy. Dorset Chamber chief executive Ian Girling said: “This was a tremendous celebration of the value of apprentices to our businesses. “Ellie, Cameron and Rebecca were all very worthy winners who have all demonstrated exceptional determination, talent and commitment to succeed. “They can be very proud of themselves for their achievements and for representing the excellence which so many apprentices show on

CAMERON Hearn has made a tangible difference to Frettens Solicitors through digital content and social media. His efforts towards the law firm’s marketing strategy have included the creation of more than 200 articles, leading to more than 20,000 new visitors to the company’s website and ten of thousands of pounds of revenue. His work has also resulted significant rises in engagement and followers on social media. Cameron’s role has also included the launch of a new strategy for pay per click (PPC) advertising plus a variety of different projects, including a first-time buyer’s guide for property purchasers. Even before he began his apprenticeship after finishing his A-levels, Cameron demonstrated his commitment – completing multiple online courses, research on Frettens and an in-depth competitor analysis before his interview. Cameron feels his apprenticeship has been enormously beneficial, both in the classroom learning about marketing and on a practical level in the job on a day-to-day basis. The apprenticeship has cemented Cameron’s dedication to a long career in marketing but it has also helped equip him with valuable soft skills to communicate and operate in a business environment while making him become more commercially aware and understanding about how marketing is incorporated into business strategy. Cameron’s nomination praised him for making ‘an invaluable contribution to the firm’s marketing efforts and commercial success’ over the past 12 months. It also highlighted his success in creating content to rate highly in Google’s search algorithms and for his contribution to the company’s website rebuild.
Ellie Taylor (J Sossins and Sons Ltd) WHEN she left school following her A-levels, Ellie Edmonds wasn’t sure what she wanted to do and whether university was right for her. Now she is blazing a trail as a female role model in the meat industry as well as for apprentices and for the Autism Spectrum Disorder community. HR Co-ordinator Ellie is taking an apprenticeship in Business Administration with ABP where her role is pivotal to legislative compliance on site. But she has also become involved in many other projects and initiatives both at her site and at group level. She runs the Youth Ambassadors of ABP across the company to help make the industry more appealing and accessible to young people aged 16-24. As an ambassador Ellie spoke at the first ABP Apprenticeship Conference in front of more than 100 delegates, including directors and ABP UL chief executive Bob Carnell. She is also the southern England regional leader for the company’s new female talent community called ‘ABP SHE’ and has been the face of ABP on social media and on the Meat Businesswomen website for National Apprenticeship Week. Her success in the workplace and in breaking down barriers has been achieved after receiving an autism spectrum (ASD) and anxiety diagnosis aged 15 at school – and she has since returned for a speech to pupils about her apprenticeship and achievements. Ellie’s nomination praised her for standing out from all the rest and ‘demonstrating a passion and drive and positive attitude that inspires everyone who comes into contact with her.”

Higher and Degree Apprentice of the Year: Winner: Rebecca Buck (Dorset Council) Finalists:
Tim Brown Managing Director of Superior Seals, Ian Girling Chief Executive of Dorset Chamber & Katie Bodman Training Manager of Superior Seals
Lloyd Bleese (Dorset Police) Thomas Peach (Honey Asset Finance Ltd) Abigail Squibb (Westbourne Medical Centre) INSPIRATIONAL Rebecca Buck is breaking down barriers as Dorset Council’s first solicitor apprentice – all at the age 41 while juggling a family with two young children. She embarked upon the five-year programme to gain a formal qualification to progress her career and add value to a job she loves. Legal assistant Rebecca has worked for the council for 16 years and specialises in rights of way, highways and countryside; including responsibility for preparing the council’s submissions to the Planning Inspectorate for opposed orders. Her day to day work also includes updating processes and policies. Rebecca was also part of the council team which dealt with the massive influx of visitors to the coast following the first lockdown and the associated issues around road closures, parking, beach cleaning and wildfires.

June 2022 | Dorset Business Focus
The apprenticeship route has given Rebecca the opportunity to continue to work while studying without facing university fees. She has a study day a week and then fits the rest into evenings after her children are in bed. Rebecca hopes to showcase the benefits of apprenticeships as a route to qualifying in an area where people generally follow the more traditional route into law through university. Rebecca’s nomination highlights her commitment, experience and achievements in succeeding in a very demanding apprenticeship while working at the council and looking after a young family. It adds: “Becky’s enthusiasm for her work and study and her outstanding achievements, particularly on the apprenticeship, are an inspiration to others and a significant benefit to the council.”

GU6 is One Year OLD The GU6 initiative recently turned one, and we are proud of what we have achieved in the past 12 months. The concept was the brainchild of former Dorset Chamber president Liz Willingham. As we emerged from the pandemic, she observed that there was a huge amount of Mental Health awareness and advice for employees, however there was nowhere for bosses themselves to seek support. As they face a unique set of problems, she felt that there should be support that was aimed specifically for this audience and this is when the GU6 idea was conceived. GU6 is an abbreviation of Got Your 6 which is a World War II flying formation where pilots protected the ‘backs’ of those in the vulnerable rear position, with the analogy that Dorset Chamber has the backs of the business community. The aim is to provide a confidential and approachable environment for business leaders to share the stresses and strains of running a business The focus is on resilience and being a supportive space for businesses leaders who are struggling, to come to share their problems. GU6 is about visibility. We have seventeen Champions who are successful business owners and chamber members, all of whom have received Mental Health First Aid Training. They attend a variety of events and are available to offer a listening ear, a relevant level of understanding, advice and guidance and ultimately signpost to a qualified professional provide for those who may need further assistance. This visibility is important to the success of the initiative. We have now run two successful in-person events which has attracted widespread awareness. Both events were very well attended and received with feedback suggesting we host more of them. The tone and approach is very different to traditional networking meetings; they
are more informal with opportunities to openly discuss mental health in a space of like-minded supportive individuals. We are now in the process of putting together our next event which will be taking place on 11th November 2022, so please keep an eye on the event’s page of the Chamber website for more details. We would also like to acknowledge our fantastic sponsor, Lester Aldridge, whose commitment to GU6 has made this possible. And to the invaluable training given to our Champions throughout the year by our partners, Ouch Training Team, and Dorset Mind. Liz is pleased to see how GU6 is gathering momentum. “The challenges of business leaders have become more and more acute, and we see GU6 being very much in the right place at the right time. Not just for Chamber members but for anyone in our business community, the support offered by trained peers who are happy to help anyone needing to offload in a safe and confidential way is proving to be so important. The success of the events and the feedback we receive is proving the need for the initiative and we are looking forward to our second year with numbers of Champions growing all the time. Do come forward if you feel you would like to join our team!” www.dorsetchamber.co.uk/gu6-dorset

The Life Changing Power of a Sleep Easy Cardboard Box At YMCA Bournemouth, we are obsessed with cardboard boxes. Our Sleep Easy boxes have special life changing powers. Each one goes on a special journey, becoming a home for a night and transforming lives locally for years afterwards. They bring people together and they create joy. Our boxes start their journey in a recycling bin. They are left over packing boxes from Castlepoint. We stockpile them; our volunteers regularly collect and take them to Ace Office Environment, who store thousands of them for free. Our amazing volunteers take them to each Sleep Easy event in a van hired for free from Economy Hire Ringwood. At our 15 school Sleep Easy’s, students are each given three boxes and Duct Tape donated by Travis Perkins, constructing shelters ranging from weird to wonderful, then spend the night ‘sleeping rough’. Together they raise thousands of pounds for YMCA Bournemouth. Each event is sponsored by a local DCCI business and students tuck into free donated Domino’s pizza. In the morning, Suez Recycling & Recovery collect and recycle the used boxes. Then at our Big Sleep Easy event in October each year, businesses come together to sleep rough for the night. Boxes are donated by Store and Secure for this event. Morale and teamwork abound, as solicitors, accountants, architects and myriad occupations, like so many school children before them, make cardboard shelters, don their woolly hats and three pairs of socks, enjoy soup donated by Forerunner and bed down to sleep ‘rough’ for the night. In the morning, participants are fortified by bacon and sausage butties donated by Tesco, cooked by the Salvation Army in their community van. Thanks to the thousands of special cardboard boxes, amazing sponsors, companies donating their services and, of course, hundreds of participants, YMCAB can support thousands of vulnerable people locally. We help young people to break free of their own invisible boxes. Despite being best known for our work supporting homeless people, since our first activities in Bournemouth were recorded in 1879, no other organisation locally has such a wide remit working more news online - www.dorsetchamber.co.uk/news
in key areas of community need, particularly in relation to children and young people. We offer 100 pre-school places specialising in SEN, children’s centres, contact centres, youth clubs, holiday clubs, chaplaincy support, a youth project for disabled children and young adults, free B.A.C.P accredited counselling and supported housing for young adults. As the cost of living crisis deepens, our help is needed more than ever. Those taking part in our sleep easy events are now not just sleeping rough so others don’t have to, they sleep rough to transform lives locally. YMCA Bournemouth needs your help to be able to continue our lifechanging work. Could your team sleep rough for a night at our Big Sleep Easy event on 15th October 2022? Could you support us in another way? We’d love to hear from you.
To sign up to the Big Sleep Easy or for more info, search for YMCA Bournemouth or call Sheena on 07824 333505. www.ymcabournemouth.org.uk
Presidents Column by Caron Khan
Big up the Cherries! AFC Bournemouth is celebrating success following promotion to the Premier League for the second time in their history. Not everyone follows football but we all like a good news story and we should all be immensely proud of the fantastic achievement of our Dorset based football club in securing promotion to the Premier League – it is truly an astonishing feat for a relatively small club. I remember going to my first match with my grandfather who at the time was President of Bournemouth Football Association and I am only sad that he is not here to experience this moment. AFC Bournemouth and Dorset Chamber have worked together for many years, and we are so proud to partner with the football club and our heartfelt congratulations go to everyone at the club on their promotion to the Premier League. They are just one of several examples of local organisations that are putting Bournemouth and Dorset, on a global map and we as a leading business organisation are very proud to support the Cherries. We are looking forward to continuing our relationship in the years to come and look forward to watching AFC Bournemouth in the Premier League next season. Well done to everyone at AFC Bournemouth and good luck in the Premier League next season, where we will once again be cheering you on! 11

DORSET BUSINESS FOCUS / HEALTH & WELLBEING
The Menopause One positive note from the recent news that HRT supplies are running low, is that it is all over the media. That is huge progress in raising the profile of the issues surrounding the menopause, illustrating that it is no longer a ‘taboo’ subject.
Of course, there are those saying that if this was a shortage of a drug that was there to make males lives tolerable there would be outrage, and let’s be honest, give it a few more months of supply shortages and anything could happen! The Health Secretary Sajid Javid is even promising to appoint a menopause Tzar, so even at the highest levels of government the issue is finally being taken seriously. Although there was a recent setback, with the one-off yearly prescription charge, being delayed until April 2023. The menopause is now on the agenda, and businesses are taking a more proactive approach and are starting to have that conversation with their employees. As of yet the menopause isn’t specifically mentioned as a “protected characteristic” in the Equality Act 2010, however the Government is considering changing that According to the ONS there are 4.5 million working women in the UK aged 50 – 64, and that number is growing. Offering to support employees going through the menopause is going to help with retaining experienced staff and reduce absences. However almost three-quarters of firms still don’t have a menopause policy according to a recent You Gov poll. The survey also found that 77% did not train line managers on the menopause, with just 16% of companies saying they offered training and the remaining responding that they didn’t know. As many offices return to a hybrid working model, some older workers are reconsidering whether it’s worth returning at all. If we want women to continue in the workplace and build secure financial futures for themselves in retirement, employers more news online - www.dorsetchamber.co.uk/news
need to provide appropriate support. This was a sentiment shared by Deborah Garlick, CEO of Henpicked: Menopause in the Workplace, who describes the results of the survey as ‘shocking.’ ‘I know where I’d sooner work and employers can’t afford to lose talent from their businesses.’ She added that ‘every employer needs to take action quickly or be left behind.’ Firms are not just at risk of losing employees, it should also be noted that there has been quite a significant rise in the number of employment tribunals where menopause
was mentioned, and law firms expect to see complaints increase further, particularly if additional protection is afforded in the future. The best way of reducing this risk is to ensure that companies have a robust menopause policy in place which provides employers with a framework for evidencing their response if they are challenged in a tribunal. One other thing that businesses can do is to sign up to the Menopause Workplace Pledge which is a commitment to making organisations a supportive and understanding place for employees going through the menopause.

A Queen’s Award Actisense celebrate 25 years for Enterprise for Tops Day Nurseries of innovation Actisense, the global NMEA specialists, have celebrated their 25th anniversary. The electronics company, founded in 1997 by Phil Whitehurst, was originally set up as a consultancy business to advise other electronics manufacturers, but soon created its own multi award-winning range of innovative products to help boaters overcome a range of NMEA-related challenges. Actisense has become a preferred brand for marine electronics installers around the world and is now sold by a network of over 80 distributors in 50 countries. Export has become a key tenet of the company’s success, with over 90% of annual revenues coming from international markets. Initially focused on the leisure marine sector, the company has diversified their product range to gain traction in both the commercial marine and agritech markets, with future growth potential in wider transportation vertical markets. Actisense is well represented at international boat shows and industry exhibitions including METSTRADE and SeaWork. Actisense CEO, Phil Whitehurst, said: “What a journey! From my spare bedroom 25 years ago, to our wonderful facility in Poole today, we have built something really special with a team of incredible people solving some of marine electronics’ most critical connectivity challenges. We’re proud of our team’s creativity and innovation including the development of our ISO-Drive technology – which is now found on tens of thousands of vessels around the globe. Reliability is what our customers tell us is most important to them, so that remains our core focus.

Tops Day Nurseries, a day nursery chain with 12 nurseries across Dorset, including nurseries in Wimborne, Gillingham, Corfe Mullen and Wareham has been honoured with a Queen’s Award for Enterprise for Sustainable Development. Tops is one of 226 organisations nationally to be recognised with a prestigious Queen’s Award for Enterprise. Announced today, Thursday 21 April, Tops has been recognised for its excellence in Sustainable Development. Employing 750 people, Tops Day Nurseries was set up in 1990 and operates 32 nurseries across the South Coast, educating and caring for children in their early years. The award was given to Tops because it has provided inspiration and is genuinely driving change in its sector. The Founder and Managing Director, Cheryl Hadland, provides thought leadership and challenges industry norms, for instance in tackling the huge range of disposable items and one-use plastics, such as nappies, gloves and glitter normally used in the sector. Cheryl Hadland said, “We are truly delighted and proud to achieve this award, despite suffering the crippling impact of covid, and even worse, the under-funding of early years provision in this country in recent years. Nursery colleagues and parents are paying the price of the underfunding from their own pockets, despite early years being one of the best investments anyone could make. Early years educators provide the foundations for today’s children to be able to run the country tomorrow, and we believe that an essential part of that is showing our empathy and respect for our environment and all people, animals, and plants within it, showing the best example we can for our children to follow. Words are not enough; all our decisions must embed sustainability and we must continue to learn ourselves. We welcome this award to celebrate what we have achieved so far, but also to encourage us to continue our sustainability journey and to encourage more nurseries, parents, businesses, and schools to join us, in trying to safeguard our children’s future health and happiness.” Now in its 56th year, the Queen’s Awards for Enterprise are the most prestigious business awards in the country, with winning businesses able to use the esteemed Queen’s Awards Emblem for the next five years. Tops Day Nurseries are a family of eco-sustainable day nurseries across the South & South West, with 12 in Dorset, including; Tops Bearwood, Tops Boscombe, Tops Bournemouth, Tops Charminster, Tops Christchurch, Tops Corfe Mullen, Tops Gillingham, Tops Parkstone, Tops Poole, Topsie Gillingham, Tops Wareham and Tops Wimborne. Tops have an outstanding reputation in delivering top quality early years education to children aged 3 months to school age, as well as before, after-school and holiday clubs for children up to 11. www.gov.uk/queens-awards-for-enterprise www.topsdaynurseries.co.uk

Ferndown Community Larder goes from strength to strength Ferndown Community Larder, run by Ferndown Community Support CIC, started in April 2022, continues to go from strength to strength. Thanks to the dedicated volunteer team and organising committee, we have made a significant difference to people already. From the very beginning, it was clear that there was the will and need to provide a Food Bank option too, and so we do! Therefore, we are tackling both food waste and food poverty in a more targeted and productive way. We have short, dated foods available for all, regardless of income. These typically include fresh vegetables and fruit, and bread and pastries (lots of them!). We also have a dedicated zone for those struggling financially only, which includes tinned foods, cereals, drinks, snacks and rice and pasta among other items. Alongside this, we have established both a pet bank and a hygiene bank for those financially struggling too. We are in the process of establishing a membership scheme to allow simple, effective and sensitive management of the ‘bank’ side of the Larder. A simple card which can be given upon referral from schools, doctors, churches, and other food banks, or directly upon proof of financial hardship, will enable users to use the food bank upon presentation of the card for a period of time. This will allow us to target more effectively and supportively those most in need of our help. 20

The ride is organised by volunteer members of the Dorset Bike Ride fundraising group.
Founded in 1989 by Peter Smith-Nicholls, the Macmillan Dorset Bike Ride was Peter’s way to continue his fundraising efforts for the charity following his epic cycle from John O’Groats to Lands End in 1988. Sunseeker is proud to sponsor the Macmillan Dorset Bike Ride and this year the company will have several staff members taking part in support of the fundraising event as well as volunteers on the ground. The ride, now in its 34th year, has raised over £1.5 million for Macmillan Cancer Support but it needs riders, volunteers and the generosity
We’re excited the UK Paid Media Award recognised our work with Diverse Care in

Bryan Jones, Marketing Manager at Sunseeker International, said: “We are delighted to be supporting the Macmillan Dorset Bike Ride as the official sponsor for the 17th consecutive year. This fantastic fundraising initiative really helps make a difference in the heart of our community and is something we are all very proud to be involved in.” Peter Smith-Nicholls, organiser of the Macmillan Dorset Bike Ride, added: “The last two years have been difficult for organised events like ours, so we are very pleased Sunseeker International has agreed to continue its support and help us get the Dorset Bike Ride back on the road, raising important funds for people living with cancer.” www.sunseeker.com

Renters’ Reform Bill and Section 21 Notices: an Unwelcomed Farewell for Private Landlords? A notice provided pursuant to section 21 of the Housing Act 1988 currently remains as the most useful tool available to private landlords seeking recovery of possession of their property let by way of an Assured Shorthold Tenancy (AST) from their tenant, provided that they are able to comply with a number of requirements. The benefit to a landlord seeking possession by relying on a section 21 notice is that they do not have to show any fault on the part of the tenant. Rather, provided that the landlord has complied with some specific requirements, they are only required to provide their tenant with 2 months’ notice. The government has previously made clear its desire to repeal section 21 and further reform the possession grounds available pursuant to section 8 of the Housing Act 1988 (which require a landlord to prove an element of fault on the part of the tenant) announcing its intention to do so in July 2019 and setting out its plans in a consultation paper. However, progress towards the reforms became delayed (like most other things) due to the Covid-19 pandemic during which the government sought to focus its mind on measures to protect renters from eviction by extending the notice periods that landlords were required to give to their tenants. In the latest Queen’s Speech, delivered by Prince Charles on 10 May 2022, it was outlined more news online - www.dorsetchamber.co.uk/news
that the current government will continue its pledge to address renters rights including the repeal of no-fault evictions and on 11 May 2022 the government set out its proposed vision of the Renters Reform Bill, which it describes as the biggest change to renters law in a generation. The government also says that the Bill will strengthen landlords’ grounds for repossession by making it easier to evict tenants who are willfully not paying rent, or who are repeatedly engaging in anti-social behaviour. The Renters Reform Bill has largely come about as a result of campaigns to bolster and provide greater protection for private tenants. Shelter estimate that between October and December 2021, approximately 14,123 landlords in England started court proceedings to evict tenants from their properties, a 43% increase on the previous quarter. However, scrapping no-fault evictions will mean that landlords will need to rely on some form of wrong doing on the part of their tenant before they can look to repossess their properties. The result being that if a tenant complies with the terms of their tenancy, and subject to any reforms made to the provisions of s.8 of the Housing Act 1988, it is likely that the tenant will be able to remain in the property indefinitely. While only time will tell how the sector will
Alex Bickerstaff, Solicitor at Lester Aldridge
react to the government’s proposed Renters Reform Bill, the very desire to protect tenants’ rights could in fact lead to a stunted growth of the private rental sector (given the likely decline of private investors’ willingness to purchase properties on a buy-to-let basis with the view to then letting those properties), pending any assurances from the government as to landlords’ rights to recover possession, which may in turn create an eventual lack of housing, including for the most vulnerable. If you have any questions regarding a landlord’s ability to recover possession and the impact of the government’s proposed Renters Reform Bill, contact our specialist property litigation solicitors by emailing online.enquiries@ LA-law.com or calling 0344 967 0793. www.lesteraldridge.com 29

Enhanced offer Norco the complete IT package For over 35 years Norco, based in Poole, have established themselves as leading developers in manufacturing. They deliver lightweight composite structures and innovative GRP mouldings. The onestop shop for patterns, moulds, parts and assemblies.
Upskilling employees is a proven way for businesses to fill skills gaps and boost productivity, while improving staff retention and creating a more motivated workforce. Amongst those students completing their courses this summer at Weymouth College will be a strong cohort of employees who have actively chosen – with the support of their employers – to upskill and retrain on Higher Education adult courses. There is a continuing and growing demand in Dorset for university/higher level courses – and micro-credential course units – that help working adults upskill or reskill and importantly support their continued professional development. A range of foundation degrees, degrees, HND and micro-credential courses are on offer at Weymouth College – in vocational areas including health and social care, public services, engineering, construction and the built environment, business, computing, creative media, art and design, health and fitness – all delivered in partnership with the University of Plymouth and Pearson. Weymouth College’s Higher Education courses are designed to deliver the practical, technical and transferable skills and academic knowledge which employers and their employees need in a cost-effective and flexible way – combining working and learning. Face to face tuition from experienced lecturers, lower course fees, small class sizes and the ability to stay local as the cost of living rises are among the deciding factors for employers and employees choosing Weymouth College. The College is holding an open day on Saturday June 11th from 10am to 1pm. Why not join us and encourage your staff to come along as well to find out what we have available for a September 2022 start? Our Employer Services team will also be on hand to talk about how we can help with your skills and training needs too.
As a highly successful company they needed to seek strategic IT advice from an experienced provider in data security, specifically in the defence sector. With no in-house IT team and an ageing IT infrastructure, it was imperative Norco found a partner that could act as a virtual IT Director offering robust solutions and ongoing support. After working alongside Norco, Enhanced soon understood their current concerns as well as their aspirations for the next 5 years. Mark Northy, CEO, Norco, is delighted with what the company has been able to achieve since working with Enhanced. “We now have in place a robust security and IT system. I am now able to grow and develop areas of the business that couldn’t be achieved previously. We are manufacturers and needed to work with IT experts. The relationship we have built with Enhanced has helped us make fundamental changes to the running of the business. I sincerely feel with Enhanced I have the complete IT package that would be hard to find anywhere else.” Understanding business, their methods and aspirations is essential to any successful partnership. Together Enhanced and Norco have improved efficiencies by centralising systems, added a competitive edge with the addition of Cyber Essentials Plus accreditation and increased confidence in a competitive and sensitive market. www.enhanced.co.uk

Coleman Marine enjoy the success of the 2022 Palma International Boat Show
Coleman Marine Insurance, a Gallagher Company, enjoyed their presence at the 2022 Palma International Boat Show. Described as ‘bigger and better than ever’, the show opened on April 28th and ran until 1st May and reported record visitor numbers. The show, which has grown to become one of the most important and popular in the Mediterranean, included 276 participating companies representing a 21 percent increase on 2021. Visitors enjoyed a diverse mix of sailing superyachts, motor yachts and a growing segment of hybrid and electric boats. The Palma Superyacht Village was particularly popular, for the sale and charter of boats over 24 metres in length. The Village also hosted a brand-new area dedicated to crews, where specialised activities and training were held, a commitment said the organisers to growth in the coming years. Coleman Yacht Executive Tony Pauffley said, “It’s so refreshing to be back at boat shows, embracing a return to normality post pandemic. There was certainly a lot of positivity amongst exhibitors, many reporting a surge in demand for products. “It has been particularly good to reconnect with our colleagues in the industry and meet existing and new clients.” Tony chatted with Christopher Head, MD Sunseeker London Group, who advised, “Sunseeker is showcasing a 90 Ocean, a 76 Yacht, a Predator 74 and a new 65 Sport Yacht. It feels like we’re back to old times pre covid, with lots of positivity on all sectors of the market and we’re enjoying sales.” Russell Currie, Dealer Principal for Princess yachts in Northern Mallorca said, “It is fabulous to see so many Princess Yachts on display at an international boat show and to be in an environment to retail face to face once again, it’s a wonderful feeling. We’re displaying 4 Princess’ – from the V55 to Y85. “Princess is currently busy developing new models which the world will be seeing very soon.” Nick Hatfield Sales Manager Sanlorenzo Yachts UK said, “We are regular exhibitors at Palma. It’s much busier than last year, there’s lots of boats and lots of visitors! Many more UK clients are flying out especially to visit the show and they’re making purchases. There’s a greater desire by many people to get on the water and shows like this will always be the ultimate environment to showcase our ranges. “We are displaying the San Lorenzo SX76 and SL90A. The BlueGame BG54 is on its world launch at the show.” Tony caught up with Mike Evans MD at Rapid Marine. The business designs and manufactures award winning deck fittings which allow tenders and jets to be secured to bathing platforms or fly bridges. Mike said, “It’s our first time in Palma, exhibiting with Origin-Marine, our Spanish distributor. It’s great to be here in the sunshine and showcasing our products to the marine community.” Paul Roberts, Dealer Sales Manager at Williams Jet Tenders advised, “It’s an important show for us, more so year by year. It’s an opportunity to meet our customers and the location is perfect for our product as there are so many boats on the island and customers appreciate the quality of our products.” www.colemanmarine.co.uk

protection with Tower Supplies
A heads up on safety! Safety helmets and hard hats have been protecting people in one form or another for thousands of years. From their humble beginnings as battle armour in 2500BC, to today where their use is much more widespread, they have stood the test of time. We’ve all seen the headlines about head injuries in sport: football players heading the ball, rugby players, boxing head injuries, all leading to potentially severe cases and long-term issues. But many people face the risk of head injury at work, as well as in play. Some face the risk more than others, like those who work within the construction industry, facilities management, and utilities sectors. Head protection accounts for only 3% of personal protective equipment (PPE) purchases, yet it accounts for more than 20% of injuries. Ensuring head protection is worn and cared for correctly is key to remaining safe at work. Workers issued with head protection need to understand about hard hat storage, use, inspection, and the lifespan of helmets – contact me for hints and tips. There’s an evolving range of head protection products for those considering the impact of brain injury. Traditional industrial safety helmets are well known, but there are modern “climbing” style helmets for those working at height, bump caps to protect against falling objects and products incorporating the latest technology, MIPS. Starting on 13th June, it’s Hard Hat Awareness Week, an annual event introduced to drive awareness of brain injury through activities designed to encourage best practices around safety equipment. Tower support this awareness campaign – as the British Safety Industry Federation say: Anyone can sell safety, but you shouldn’t buy safety from just anyone.

International Trade Updates
HMRC calls on businesses to get ready to move to new customs declarations processing system from 30th September 2022 On the 24th March, HMRC announced that it was starting the process of communicating with all trade businesses on the forthcoming changes. The Customs Declaration Service (CDS) will become the UK single customs platform after 31 March 2023, replacing the Customs Handling Import and Export Freight (CHIEF) system. Ahead of the complete closure, the import declaration function will be withdrawn on 30 September this year. The CHIEF system will close in two phases: Phase one: After 30 September 2022 the ability to make import declarations will end Phase two: After 31 March 2023 the ability to make export declarations will end
Frontier Declarations and Immediate Payments will be settled using: • Deferment account • Cash account • Personal or corporate debit card or corporate credit card • General guarantee account • Individual guarantee More detailed information can be found on the UK Government’s CDS Finance Fact Sheet.
Scan here for details…
HMRC is urging declarants to take advantage of help offered to start the migration to the Customs Declaration Service now – either by working with a software developer or Community System Provider, or by accessing the help themselves to get ready to move to the Customs Declaration Service which could take up to six months depending on the scale and complexity of the business. Dorset Chamber are making their customers aware of the forthcoming changes, as there is much for them to do – i.e. new guarantee for a single duty deferment account and authorising clearance agents to use it via the account holder’s government gateway account. Also, there is more data required to complete a customs declaration as per the below figures: CHIEF – up to 68 boxes required for an import CDS – up to 76 data elements for imports CHIEF – up to 45 boxes used for export CDS – up to 65 data elements for exports CDS requires a more extensive data set than CHIEF. While there are consistencies between several of the key CHIEF/CDS Code Lists, such as Documents, Licences and AI Statement Codes, there are also some which differ, e.g., Port codes. In addition, a number of new CDS code lists will be introduced. Payment processing The way declaration payments are processed will also change in CDS, and you will need to make changes to your current payment methods for the following: Duty Deferment Account holders will need to complete a new Direct Debit Instruction. However, you should not cancel your original Direct Debit Instruction. This will still be needed for deferred declarations made in CHIEF or other systems, i.e., ATWD, VAT 908. Flexible Accounting System (FAS) will not be available for CDS and is being replaced with a new cash account. You will automatically be issued a cash account when you register for CDS. 34

Business invests in Motion pictures A state-of-the-art film studio in Bournemouth has opened to businesses and organisations wishing to market their products or services professionally. The Motion Studio, a £200,000 investment by businessman Steve McKay and based in Francis Avenue, is a self-contained 64 sq m facility, with leading edge cameras and technically advanced equipment. The studio has five cameras meaning all angels are covered, and also boasts television quality lighting, a top end mixing desk, control room, teleprompter and large SMART Board, plus kitchen, lounge and shower facilities. It is available to hire by the day, including the time of professionally trained engineers who operate all the equipment. Videos are then cut, edited, and provided within the daily cost. Businesses or organisations can hire the studio for any filming needs – from product demonstrations and promotions to instructional videos and training. The studio could also be used for company, corporate, product or employee presentations, inductions, ‘how-to’ advisory videos and podcasts Steve said: “We have built this studio from scratch – installing leading edge more news online - www.dorsetchamber.co.uk/news

It’s also a hugely cost-effective way of selling worldwide. “We want to ensure we remain ahead of the game and fully immersed in the digital age and provide the best possible service in a completely innovative way – leading broadcasters have visited and praised our set-up. “We are offering our affordable facilities for use by businesses and organisations which perhaps do not have an ongoing requirement that warrants their own studio investment, thus saving them time and money and cutting out travel expenditure. “I do genuinely want to help other local, and not so local, businesses to get a taste of the digital marketing world – they won’t look back.”
Despite the economy remaining unsteady since the start of covid, it seems that many people are changing jobs at the moment. When staff do leave, it is often the case that a restrictive covenant is in place which restricts them taking certain action or acting in a certain way. In this column, I’m going to focus specifically on non-compete clauses and discuss the importance of having them drafted well. In Law by Design v Ali, the time period of a non-compete clause was disputed – with the claimant stating that 12 months was ‘too long’ and that 6 months would have been sufficient. Ultimately, the Court ruled that 12 months was a reasonable period for the covenant to last. The Court added it would have reasonably taken Law by Design a year to recruit and train a new staff member to the same standard as Ms Ali. The case demonstrated that well drafted non-competition restrictive covenants can be enforceable, even if they last as long as this one. This is particularly the case when, as here, the outgoing employee has acted in what can be viewed as an underhand way and is going to potentially cause a significant loss to the employer they are leaving. Employers should ensure that any noncompetition clause is well drafted to reduce the likelihood of any claims and, if a claim does arise, reduce the probability of the claimant being successful. At Frettens, our bright Employment Team can assist you in drafting a restrictive covenant or help you with any other Employment & HR related matter. We are pleased to offer all new clients a free initial chat. You can get in touch using the information below. 01202499255 pburton@frettens.co.uk www.frettens.co.uk

Social media remains a huge part of the marketing plan of most businesses, with 50% of marketers planning on increasing their investments in Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok in 2022 (HubSpot), while 73% of marketers believe that their efforts through social media marketing have been “somewhat effective” or “very effective” for their business (Buffer). The Social Game is the vision of leading Bournemouth based social media agency South Coast Social’s Managing Director Clare Groombridge and Head of Training Emma Jones, who seeing the volume of people who came to the agency looking for social media training and advice, especially during the pandemic when many businesses had to quickly shift a focus to online trading. As Hootsuite commented recently, “The smartest brands will understand where they fit into customers’ lives on social media, and they’ll find creative ways of fitting into the conversation.” Overall social media user numbers grew by 424 million users in 2021 and as consumers are more and more engaged with social media, although it is more essential than ever that brands invest in their relationships with employees, customers, and influencers authentically online, many lack the skills in-house to be able to manage this effectively but are not ready to recruit a dedicated employee or agency to manage this directly. Targeting freelancers, entrepreneurs, business owners and Marketing professionals, The Social Game offers a wide variety of training services such as bespoke social media workshops delivered either online or in person, more news online - www.dorsetchamber.co.uk/news

Dorset financial expert, Peter Harding says, the UK’s tax system is famously complex. It means that for many people, tax represents much more of a threat than an opportunity, with pitfalls at every turn. From investing in a way that incurs much more tax than is necessary to making pension-income decisions without being aware of potentially expensive tax implications, even the most financially savvy among us can fall foul of the UK’s many tax rules and regulations. The full list of errors to avoid and opportunities that shouldn’t be missed is a long one. But here are just some of the most common and costly tax traps to look out for. Forgetting to share the load - Most tax allowances, exemptions and tax-efficient investment opportunities are available to each person in a couple. For example, if only one person in a couple has used up their ISA allowance for the current tax year, they can gift some money to their partner who has some or all of their allowance left. The same approach can be taken to each person’s annual Capital Gains Tax (CGT) allowance. Leaving it to the last minute -Many of us are in the habit of paying attention to our allowances only at the start and/or end of each tax year. This can mean it may be too late to use them, especially Income Tax allowances and exemptions that can’t be carried forward. Joining the tax-free cash rush- A common mistake among those reaching retirement and accessing their pension is to take all their taxfree cash in one go. It can be used as income in most Defined Contribution (DC) pension schemes to help reduce the Income Tax paid each year, so if you don’t need the lump sum to pay off something, then don’t take it all out. Also, if taken out and not spent, it can increase your Inheritance Tax (IHT) liability.

Number of £500,000 house price hotspots up 50% since the start of the pandemic The number of £500,000-plus hotspots increased by 50% during the pandemic – rising from 874 wards in 2019 to 1,312 in 2021, according to the latest research from property firm Savills. As a result, the number of areas where the average house price exceeds £500,000 has surpassed 15% of Great Britain for the first time ever. The new half a million-pound hotspots The research into the increase in sales across local authorities’ wards that occurred above £500,000 revealed that the South West saw the largest rise in half a million pound purchases (167%). This reflects a surge in house prices across more rural parts of the country. The number of wards in the traditional lifestyle relocation and downsizer and hotspots Cotswolds, Bath and Somerset increased from 17 to 29; whereas markets such as the South Hams and Cornwall saw an increase from 4 to 11 (combined). “The momentum for moving throughout the pandemic – born from a desire for more space and spurred on by the government’s stamp duty holiday – resulted in a mini-house price boom across the country. But with stock in long-favoured hotspots across the country unable to meet increased demand, surrounding wards benefited, too. As a result,

we’ve seen a surge in new geographical areas breaking the half a million-pound threshold over the past two years,” comments Lucian Cook, head of residential research at Savills. The increase in suburban and semi-suburban locations breaching the £500,000 threshold is most notable in London, with seven wards tipping over the half a million-pound threshold in Croydon, and a further eight in Waltham Forest. Now, almost two-thirds (63%) of all London areas are seeing an average house price of £500,000 or more, and a quarter of the wards yet to hit the mark in the capital are within £50,000 of that benchmark. While regions to the North still have the fewest number of half a million-pound hotspots – the number in Yorkshire and the Humber has doubled over the past two years – from five to 10. Savills research also revealed the emergence of the first £500k wards in the North East, with three wards in Ponteland and the ward of Longhorsely joining the list. Meanwhile, Scotland is yet to register its first £500,000 ward. What does half a million pounds buy you across the country? However, not all £500,000 homes are equal and vary in size significantly across the country. The largest can be bought in the North East (2,017 sq. ft.), versus just 869 in London.
/company/dorset-chamber/
Despite this, the amount of space half a million pounds can buy you has shrunk just 2% over the last five years in London, compared to a decrease of 13% seen in South West, West Midlands and the North West. At a local level, in Kensington and Chelsea £500,000 actually buys 21% more space than five years ago – albeit it still buys only 495 square feet - thanks to negative growth experienced in prime central London over recent years. Whereas buyers in York and Rushcliffe (Notts) will have seen the opposite. In these two areas, the amount of square footage that can be bought for £500,000 has shrunk by 13% to 1,432 sq. ft. and 1,550 sq. ft. respectively. “The recent increase in prices also means the range of options for those with smaller budgets is getting increasingly limited, with even half a million pounds buying you an increasingly shrinking amount of space. This said the four successive rate rises and the rising cost of living are likely to bring more caution over the coming months which will mean that the rate of price growth slows progressively, potentially to low single-digit figures in coming years, which will come as welcome relief to many who are looking to make their next move,” continued Lucian Cook. www.savills.co.uk

AFC Bournemouth clinch promotion to Premier League Kieffer Moore was the goal king of Vitality Stadium as AFC Bournemouth sealed a return to the Premier League thanks to a 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest on the 3rd May. Moore struck seven minutes from time to settle in the Cherries’ favour a pulsating contest on another memorable night for the Dorset club. Scott Parker joined an illustrious group of managers to have led the Cherries to promotion, it comes seven years and a day since Eddie Howe guided the club to the topflight for the first time in its history.
Scott Parker, AFCB Manager & Jeff Mostyn AFCB Chairman
www.afcb.co.uk Scott Parker said: “We’re going into a division next year which is ruthless, which is clinical, it’s another ten steps up from what the Championship is. “The gap between the Championship and the Premier League is vast. We’re going to need to build our game on a real solidness as a team, not just a ‘keeper and a back four. “The records put us in good stead but we’re going to face some challenges, of course we are.”

Players of the season awards Following the final game against Millwall on the 7th May, a selection of Player of the Season awards were handed out at Vitality Stadium. The squad were brought out one-by-one to a standing ovation from the home crowd, with Scott Parker and his staff also recognised. CEO Neill Blake handed out runners up medals to the team, who were also given a trophy for finishing second in the Championship. Captain Lloyd Kelly lifted it in front of his squad, who were quick to open the champagne in celebration. Individually, Mark Travers scooped four awards, winning Supporters Player of the Season, Vice Presidents Player of the Season, the Daily Echo’s Player of the Season and the Golden Glove. The ‘keeper finished the season with 20 clean sheets to his name, as the Cherries also lost the fewest number of matches in the league. Elsewhere, Dominic Solanke picked up the Junior Cherries Player of the Season, having scored 30 goals in all competitions this season, the second highest in the Championship. Becki Bath was also there to represent the women’s team and was given her Player of the Season award by sponsors Bournemouth University. There was also a nice moment for the AFC Bournemouth grounds staff, who were recently named as the Championship’s Grounds Team of the Season by the EFL.

DRIVEN:
Introducing the Volkswagen Taigo The new Taigo may have arrived in the Volkswagen SUV line-up with little fanfare, but it’s already making a lot of noise in the company car market thanks to its smooth drive, interior comfort and sleek look. The Taigo has the sportiest style of the Volkswagen SUV family, with its coupe roof and elongated body. The stylish LED light strip, which continues over the entire front to the Volkswagen logo, creates a connection with the associated IQ.LIGHT. Inside, there’s plenty of space for the family at weekends and great driver comfort if you’re on the road during the week. The 440-litre boot provides ample space for an SUV of this size. It’s also easy to load up, with a large tailgate and flat load floor to the rear bumper – also useful for sitting the kids on to remove muddy boots before letting them back in the car! Wireless phone charging is standard across the three Taigo trims (Life, Style and R-Line), along with App-Connect with Apple Carplay and Android Auto, manual air conditioning, and automatic high-beam matrix LED headlights. And, as you’d expect in any modern company vehicle, it also comes with a range of driverassistance tech including Adaptive Cruise Control, front & rear parking sensors, lane assist, traffic-sign recognition and autonomous emergency braking.
The Digital Cockpit shows the typical contents, such as speedometer and mileage, on a high-resolution 8-inch colour display as standard. If you want to upgrade to the Digital Cockpit Pro, you can arrange the 10.25-inch display to suit your individual requirements for example, you can choose to display your driver assist system visually or a combination of navigation map and media display – all with
appealing graphics and animations. All in all, the Volkswagen Taigo is a great all-rounder – SUV practicality, coupe style and extensive driver comforts. To take the Taigo for a test drive from your local dealership, call Chloe Hanham on 01202 713028. www.breeze.co.uk
Aspire Training Team Celebrate 25th Anniversary Throughout April Aspire Training Team, an apprenticeship training provider with training facilities based in Dorset, celebrated 25 years of training with a number of celebratory activities to mark the occasion, including partnering with fellow B Corp accredited company Ecologi to plant thickets of 25 trees on behalf of each its 150 + employer customers. Aspire Training Team was founded by Cheryl Hadland in 1997 and started with just 3 apprentices, one of which is now the current Director of Audit and Quality for Aspire, Kelly Medley. Over the years Aspire has grown from the initial 3 learners to beyond 3,000 having now successfully achieved their apprenticeships. Managing Director, Cheryl Hadland, said, “When I started Aspire with 3 apprentices in one nursery, Tops Day Nurseries Parkstone, I did not imagine that 25 years later we would have around 350 learners every year. We are very proud to be making such a huge contribution to early years education and care in our areas across the South West. Aspire has been described as world class and a Beacon for early years, and despite enormous financial difficulties in the sector 44

nationally, continues to provide training for learners that equips them for working not only in day nurseries but across many sectors where great customers service, respect, and attention to detail in health and safety is required, as well as fantastic preparation for parenthood. Aspire is one of the only B.Corp training providers in the country, and as such all decisions take into consideration the environment and social impacts and governance is transparent and ethical, as verified by B. Corp. Deficiencies in government funding can cause financial worries for Aspire as its dependent on this either directly or via the levy on larger employers, but assuming the government funding does consider inflation, utilities and wage competition, Aspire is confident of a buoyant future where the focus can be on excellence of training within the early years sector.” As part of their celebration activities the whole training team gathered face to face for the first time in a long time, due to Covid, and planted a tree in the communal garden at their head office to commemorate 25 years of training. They have also partnered with Ecologi, a company dedicated to ending the /company/dorset-chamber/
climate crisis by planting trees to keep our temperatures from rising above 1.5C. Aspire has planted 25 trees for every employer that works with them and pledges to plant 25 trees for all future employers that join them. Aspire Training Team are one of the South’s leading apprenticeship and training providers offering a range of courses and apprenticeships in early year s& childcare, business administration, leadership and management and customer service. www.aspiretrainingteam.co.uk
