Clarkson Evans wins Sub Contractor of the Year Award

New-build house wiring specialist Clarkson Evans has scooped the Sub Contractor of the Year trophy at the national Housebuilder Awards.

Managing Director, Nathan Evans said: “While it was great to be recognised by our peers when we were awarded the Electrical Contractor of the Year by the Electrical Contractors Association earlier this year, this award is particularly special to us because it’s judged by our customers.

“We are so proud to have won and it’s the icing on the cake for what’s been another record-breaking year.”

“Wool is naturally waterproof and the cotton Ventile lining provides further waterproofing, allowing air to circulate around the body,” he added.

The ski suit echoes a project Tom took on in 2016, making a Gabardine jacket for British adventurers the Turner Twins, who were following George Mallory by climbing Mount Elbrus in the Caucasus mountains, which stands at 18,510 ft above sea level.

For his latest ski suit Tom was asked to design something classic but practical for the slopes. “It was a brilliant project,” he added.

A Cirencester healthcare technology firm that works with more than 100 hospitals across the UK has secured a project in the Baltic States.

Intouch with Health has launched its patient flow management platform at The Bernu Kliniska Universitates Slimnica (BKUS) in Latvia.

The hospital will now use Intouch’s digital technology to improve the flow of outpatients during their appointments.

The firm’s self check-in kiosks allow patients to register their arrival via a touch screen, minimising the requirement for a receptionist.

Intouch’s digital patient calling boards have also been launched in the hospital’s waiting areas and enable BKUS healthcare staff to display individual names electronically to call patients to a specific treatment room.

Patient flow management software developed by the firm enables hospital staff to track the location of each patient during their appointment.

Clarkson Evans is the UK’s largest electrical contractor serving the new-build housing sector. Last year it wired around 25,000 properties. Based in Gloucester and with 21 branches nationwide, the company directly employs nearly 1,000 staff (not sub-contractors) and trains large numbers of apprentices.

“We’re proud of what we do but we don’t take anything for granted and such national recognition means a lot to us,” added Nathan.

Mike Sanders, Chief Executive at Intouch with Health, said: “The first phase of this project has seen us successfully integrate our software with the hospital’s existing IT infrastructure and translate it into the Latvian language.

Kaspars Grosu, Head of Customer Services at Children’s University Hospital in Riga, added: “This was a great challenge for the Intouch with Health and BKUS teams because of the cultural, legal and systematic differences. We are proud to be first to break all these barriers and to announce that all is achievable.”
