Recently, I needed to get a new laptop.

My old one had kept going for a long time because, of course, I’ve got access to all the tools at our disposal here at BEA Solutions, but nothing lasts forever, so it was time for a change.

Marc and I spoke about options, and it was actually him who selected my new laptop. It came in at a total cost of £343.43, whereas the equivalent brand new would have set me back £1,049.99, an extra £701.56!

Now, whilst a saving of £701.56 might sound impressive, it means nothing if performance isn’t up to scratch. The proof, as they say, is in the pudding. So, the question is how it’s doing. So far, it’s been absolutely faultless.

“BEA Solutions are able to provide your technology solutions, be it a repair, a new or reconditioned device.”

It is exponentially better than anything I would have paid around £300 for new, and there’s no discernable loss of speed or usability compared with a brand new device in the £1,000 price range.

BEA Solutions are clearly able to help provide your technology solutions, be it a repair, a new or a reconditioned device. So, make BEA Solutions your first port of call when you need help with anything in the world of technology.

For more information and help, please contact us today on 023 9298 8855 or email help@beasolutions.com. Visit our website: www.beasolutions.com.

Based on Hayling Island, their experienced team covers domestic and residential properties across Hampshire and West Sussex including Petersfield, Chichester, Waterlooville and Portsmouth.

At least 80% of their business is generated from word of mouth recommendations from the family, friends and neighbours of already satisfied customers.

Knowledgeable in all aspects of bathroom transformation, the BB Team will support you through the whole process of creating the space of your dreams, from design through to the installation, and finally clearing all of the rubbish away.

“Brilliant Bathrooms offer 100% quote accuracy once you have made your choices – the price we quote is exactly the price you pay.”

Brilliant Bathrooms can personalise all styles of bathrooms, en-suites, wetrooms and cloakrooms according to your taste.

From classic to modern styles, they can also accommodate any mobility challenges and needs with specialist design features.

It is reassuring to know that all bathroom choices including tiles and taps, are made

within the showroom so you know you have the perfect accessories before installation begins.

Through these unusual times, they carefully observe enhanced and appropriate health precautions for everyone’s protection and peace of mind.

All bathrooms are installed by their own teams of fully qualified and experienced tradesmen, and all aspects are taken care ‘in-house’ including electrics, flooring, plastering and decoration.

Brilliant Bathrooms offer 100% quote accuracy once you have made your choices – the price we quote is exactly the price you pay. This means that homeowners can be confident that there will be no hidden costs when settling the final bill.

Chosen C h ar i t y

Engaging new drain art project highlights the impact of littering on the environment.

A colourful new art project has been launched in Emsworth, Hampshire, targeting littering on our streets.

Ten new pieces of art based on designs by local schoolchildren are being installed on pavements next to road drains to highlight the link between littering in our towns and plastic pollution in our rivers, harbours and wider seas.

The project has been enabled by local Hampshire charity the Final Straw Foundation.

The charity’s founder, Bianca Carr, explains, “Back in early 2020, we decided that we would love to install art to highlight the way that litter and other pollutants can be washed with rainwater down the road drains on our streets

and end up in the sea. We ran a competition open to local schoolchildren to create some beautiful designs that we could use as a base for the drain murals. We chose around 15 beautiful and colourful designs that a local artist would then paint onto our local streets.”

“It’s so important that we all protect our delicate ecosystems, and these artworks will help drive that message home,” The team at the Final Straw Foundation hope this project will bring a bit of fun and colour to the local area’s pavements and deliver a vital message. Bianca continues, “It’s so important that we all protect our delicate ecosystems, and these artworks will help drive that message home, and we hope it will make a difference to the levels of littering locally. The message really applies not just to drains but to all litter on our streets. It’s so easy for it to blow around and end up in our countryside as well as our waters - fingers crossed these murals remind people to value and take care of our wonderful planet!”.

You can find out more about the drain art project here: https://finalstrawfoundation. org/projects-and-activities/drain-art-project/

The charity is always looking for volunteers, business supporters and collaborations - to find out more, please visit finalstrawfoundation.org The Final Straw Foundation is an environmental charity, number 1191500.
