M & A Rainmaker

I have recently had some pretty bad experiences with so called Hotdesking facilities in Birmingham, UK and this got me thinking about the subject.

I think part of the problem is that they are more experimental models than professional businesses and the people that are running them are just not up to the task. Simple questions,enquiries,suggestions and even help given get very weird responses and you just wonder where these people have been, are coming from and why they are suddenly hosting Hotdesking facilities. Desperation springs to mind ??

In all the years that I have been meeting people in Birmingham in hotels I have never experienced any negative issues. In fact the reverse. As I cast my mind back over hundreds of meeting I can only remember positive experiences.

Over the last year I have used The Malmaison and Marco Pierre Whites in particular. Both are great but of course MPW has the advantage of the amazing views. I have always had good service at the Ibis Chinatown and there is another hotel where I had amazing support from staff with my laptop connectivity – will update soon.

It really begs a few questions:

– Why would you use a Hotdesking facility rather than e.g. a Hotel or Coffee Bar ??

– What are the most important criteria for a venue to meet with somebody ??

– What is the best place to open up your smartphone, notepad or laptop and get a bit of work done ???

There are probably a few other questions that could be asked aswell.

I am going to leave this article for further updates soon.

If you need a makeup artist in the UK then we have some amazing Motives muas and beauty specialists for you

Motives Cosmetics and Beauty products are used by stars like JLo and Kim Kardashian and you can get similar looks at affordable prices here in the UK

There are Motives makeup artists and beauty professionals in many parts of the world – not all .. yet – but many of the main English, Spanish and Chinese speaking countries globally.

The celebrity and celebrity mua following is huge in the USA and growing in all other countries. However, you don’t have to be a celebrity to benefit from and to afford Motives and you don’t have to be a celebrity mua to provide it to your clients.

In fact Motives is rapidly becoming the place where young, aspiring mua’s can learn how to become successful mua’s tutored and mentored by more experienced Motives Consultants.

If you are a client looking for a makeup artist then you might be looking for particular things aside from an ability to make you look and feel great.

You would probably like to buy the products that your mua uses on you with minimal fuss and time spent. An option to buy from you mua or online would be nice.

You may have strong feelings about animal testing and use of animal by products and want to ensure that no animals have been hurt in the making of the makeup you are wearing.

You also want to ensure that the products don’t clog your pores and definately are not cancer inducing as so many are.

You don’t want the pressure of sitting in a big store under false lighting to be made up – you want the privacy and comfort of your home or your mua’s.

You want an mua who is going to listen to what you want and not just sell you what they have to sell.

If some or all of these things are important to you then please contact me and I will put you in touch with one of our mua’s.

More  about  ’why external drainage is required, if eco friendly permeable driveway, path and road surfaces are used’. There’s a few more things to say here.

The North West of England should take the lead in terms of building eco friendly driveways, paths, roads and carparks

Within any development, regardless of the external surfacing, there’s an underground drainage system to take away foul and waste water from the buildings (sinks, toilets etc.), which connects to the public sewers and ends up being carried away to processing plants for filtration etc. and reuse. This underground system within and outside of the site is the same sewer system external surface water from roofs, ground etc. is discharged to – so even if there were no requirement for a piped system to get rid of rain water there would still need to be a system in place. The only visual difference being that you wouldn’t see drainage channels, grates, gullies etc. on the road surfaces if a site were discharged solely using eco friendly permeable surfaces but you would still see the manhole and inspection chamber covers externally that are part of the buildings foul and waste underground drainage system.

Above ground and underground drainage requirements (and foul and waste pipework) up to the public sewer connection are a few of the many things Building Regulations governs – which require statutory compliance (like planning). The various parts of the building regulations documents get updated every so often to reflect changes in standards, technology, planning policy etc. so permeability – I think now is part of the Regulations and overall strategy for rain/surface water discharge.

Many potential users of eco friendly green driveways are home owners on existing, built residential neighbourhoods and developments where the either/or issue doesn’t really exist (underground drainage vs permeable surfacing) – since there will already be an existing drainage system in place. So it’s really about the added benefits of environmentally friendly permeable surfacing which are aesthetic, environmental and practical (It looks better in most cases, it aids discharge to the ground which is good for surrounding planting/trees, it reduces the strain on the existing public sewers and the potential for localised backup/flooding and in winter helps reduce the likelihood of surface ice from rain that has settled etc – which can cause accidents to people from slipping etc. ) Planning is also keen on d.i.y sustainability and generally they are quite encouraging towards people who install solar panels, permeable paving, water butts etc. because it reduces energy use and in the case of the paving relieves pressure on the public sewer system – which has financial implication, through renewal, repair, maintenance etc. There was a broadcast on Radio 4 last year that was about these issues and permeable surfacing to individual properties was mentioned. It was mentioned that it is worth finding out what, if any grants are available for it – as there are financial incentives for solar panels to domestic properties. In the current climate I’m sure most people would find that of interest if they were already interested in the idea for some of the above reasons.
