while on the toilet and other
interesting

Two fifths of entrepreneurs have come up with the idea for a business
while on the toilet, new research reveals.

According to support organisation Business Link, which recently launched new
services, the loo is the ninth most popular place for having a
Eureka moment. Other inspirational locations and activities include lying in
bed, while at work and in the pub

Business Link also found that seeing another friend make the leap into
enterprise is the reason behind why 34% of people started a business with 16%
saying they were inspired while watching BBC’s Dragons’ Den.

Here’s an infographic which explains the
results:

 

 

Where are you inspired?

We feel it is our responsibility to let you know of an e-petition which has been set up to encourage the government to make an amendment to the Scrap Metal Merchants Act 1964 and stop cash payments for scrap metal in order to reduce the impact this crime has on our livelihoods.

You may have already seen this but if you haven’t please take a minute to sign the on-line petition at

http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/406 

Once the petition reaches 100,000 signatures Parliament is obliged to debate the issue. We hope you will join us in helping to make a difference.

Thank you for your support.

Some of our staff baked and sold cakes at the event so we had something to give the day that extra bit of excitement!

As you can see our guys enjoyed the event and ate a variety of homebaked cakes from iced lime sponge slices, sugar topped fairy fruit cakes, victoria sponge with homemade damson jam, lovely rich chocolate cup cakes, blondes with macadamia, pistachio, cranberry and white chocolate, among others.

As there were only 20 staff in on Friday it worked out that we had at least four cakes each!!  There were plenty left to last into the next week.

As we all went home with full bellies a count was made of our fundraising efforts and we are pleased to say we made a massive £77.02 for the charity. 

Macmillan help support cancer patient and their families – visit their website http://www.macmillan.org.uk and see how you can get involved.

Over the season we have sent out customer satisfaction questionnaires.  The response has been fantastic and given us the opportunity to confirm that our service is almost as good as we can make it.  In fact from the questionnaires returned our average rate out of 10 was 9.8!  Now that’s something to be proud of.

Of course there are always ways we can improve our service so if you have any ideas please contact us by calling 01268 722311 or email marketing@rawley.co.uk.

We are now busy preparing for what could turn out to be an extremely busy year due to the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and the London 2012 Olympics.

So get your order in early if you don’t want to be caught short and ensure that you hire from a PSE approved toilet hire supplier.

A great big thank you to all our customers from this season.  We look forward to seeing both you and our new customers next season.

The new unit has all the features of our 12ft COMBI-GEN welfare unit with the additional following benefits:

• Lighting and heating can be operated without the need to run the generator.
• Hybrid diesel heating system.
• Power point for mobile phone charging or laptop use.
• Microwave supplied as standard.

Look out for our new addition on our website soon…….

This year as part of our 50th anniversary we decided to enter the Best Business in the Community category.

We regularly contribute towards various local charities and projects including the Lighthouse Furniture Project who provide people in need with furniture and white goods which they could not otherwise afford.  Microwaves and kettles returned with our compliancy kits for welfare units are sent to the project on a regular basis for refurbishment and reuse.  This saves us sending them to landfill and it means they get a second life.

We also work closely with Essex Wildlife Trust and have recently assisted them to establish a community classroom at the Langdon Hills Country Park.

Some of our management team and members of staff are also regularly involved with local projects such as local community football teams, parish councils and housing organisations.

Giving something back is part of the ethos of Rawley Plant Ltd.

The award ceremony is on 15th July at the Towngate Theatre, Basildon. Wish us luck and watch this space for news of the winners.
