Lodge Brothers Clandon the family you can turn to… day or night | 020 8818 7725

Just as the cost of living increases from year to year, the cost of dying is no different. The SunLife cost of dying report for 2021, an annual sector-leading research paper, which has been providing a comprehensive overview of funeral costs since 2004, shows that the cost of funerals has continued to increase on an annual basis. One positive aspect however is that the increase of funeral-related costs has at least slowed down somewhat over the last 2 years.

The same report goes on to explain that the average cost of dying in 2021, depending on where in the UK you live, is £8,864 – that is down 4.3% since 2020.

Funeral costs are rarely included as part of the average family’s annual budget. The Lodge Brothers family of Funeral Directors Clandon, offer a variety of cost-effective solutions aimed at assisting families to deal with the costs, which arise when a loved one passes away.

Lodge Brothers Funeral Directors Merrow all offer a range of pre-paid for and planned funeral packages, with a suitable budget option for all, all of which are designed to alleviate the inevitable financial and emotional strain which is placed on families when a loved one passes away. What makes the difference is the Lodge Brothers pledge to ensure that there are no hidden extras to surprise you, after all is said and done. Lodge Brothers publishes a full list of all costs attached to funeral planning on their website for full transparency and will provide a detailed quote prior to proceeding with any of the funeral arrangements, so that the families of the deceased know and understand everything that they will be required to pay for.

     

In the case of pre-planned arrangements, the deceased has already made most of the tough decisions on behalf of their loved ones. In fact, any person who would like to make their funeral wishes known, can use the complimentary service on the website which is kept on file in the event of their demise, so that when their family choses Lodge Brothers Funeral Directors Staines, all of the hard decisions are already made ahead of time. Using this service does not commit anyone to a funeral plan with Lodge Brothers – it simply ensures that when you loved ones chose Lodge Brothers for funeral arrangements, the wishes of the deceased shared with the family who can then provide the funeral just as you would have, if you had planned it yourself.

IT SUPPORT NEAR SOHO

Two out three organisations recognise the crucial role that cloud computing plays in the role of their digital transformation. Engaging with cloud computing support is a guaranteed way of decreasing business costs, increasing productivity and out-performing against competitors who are part of the 1/3rd of organisations who are still not yet using the cloud as an integral part of their IT infrastructure. Cloud computing has revolutionised the face of IT across the globe with its versatility and 24/7 accessibility, enabling organisations of all size, to enjoy the cost saving benefits of 100% online access. If, like 2/3rds of organisations, you want to take your business on a digital transformation journey and embrace the future of technology, Knowall IT Support Soho is the managed business partner, which is equipped to facilitate that transition.

Cloud computing has been in use almost since the beginning of the history of computers themselves. In the early 2000’s, as the internet developed from travel blogs, brochures and chat rooms into the social and technological giant, global network of communications that it is today as a result of the creation of the internet. Since that time, what first began with the image of a world wide web has developed into what is now referred to the cloud. What is the cloud really? It’s the image that has been given to society to help them to conceptualise the way in which we are able to gain access to hardware and software that is not physically in front of us.

Simply put, cloud computing is to IT what Uber is to the transportation industry. You need a ride from A to B but you don’t have your own vehicle. You contact Uber and set up someone to collect you and drop you off where you need to be, and you pay the association transportation fee. Similarly, with cloud computing, you pay a fee for the IT infrastructure that you need, when you need it for as long as you need it. It gets your business from A to B, without you having to purchase the whole vehicle. Its available to you at any time, on-demand, without worrying about maintenance, up-keep, running costs or upgrades. Just like Uber, the infrastructure / vehicle is provided to you at the fraction of the cost and you simply pay for what you need, when you need it. While each organisation will experience the benefits differently, the benefits will be experienced immediately as a direct result of having access to the latest servers, applications or operating systems without the mammoth financial commitment on the hardware and software which is required to provide quality IT support.

Knowall IT Support Paddington is an award-winning IT service provider with the capacity to provide your business with high quality cloud and voice services, ensuring access to high performance computing and communications at the fraction of the cost. For the organisation who has not yet invested in this leading edge technology, contact Knowall IT Support Kensington for assistance with building your fully customizable, scalable, bespoke IT environment uniquely suited to elevate your business into the future.

Unprecedented because never has everyone across the entire globe been taken siege in the way that we experienced with the Covid-19 pandemic which was able to spread like wild-fire, zig-zagging its way around the world, fuelled by the ability of human beings to move with ease across continents, thanks to technology. While the world has faced world wars, and pandemics, natural disasters, and environmental crisis before, nothing compared to the devastating effects caused by a super-spreading virus, which has caused untold financial and emotional devastation and destroyed families through tragic loss of life. There is not one person who has not in some way been affected by the events of the last years so if you are one of those people who experienced any of the emotional, physical, or spiritual repercussions of the pandemic, Mal Weeraratne has a ground-breaking approach to emotionally detox the body and help you with shedding negativity so that you may look to the future with a new outlook on life.

Marquee Wedding Tips & Advice

Marquee expert-users know that as the summer begins to darken into the cooler season, party and functions begin to become fewer and further between. The industry, which was in full bloom in the months of May, June and July, starts to droop as the month of August ushers in the autumn.  Experts who use DIY marquees also know that there is time to use still as DIY marquees can be used well into the colder months as DIY marquees are designed to ensure longer that the rest. Designed with the weather in mind, any DIY marquee will withstand the damp and the wind, enabling the party to carry on just that much longer than one may expect. As the bell calls for last rounds on other marquee types, DIY has one more last dance to perform and the key is simply due to the superior materials used in the construction of the marquees.

Most popular of all marquees is the 4 x 4, which is both affordable and adaptable. You will always find space to place a 4 x 4 marquee, which means that it can be used in private functions such as home parties where it can be placed on a grassy patch or solid ground such as concrete or driveways, as well as for commercial purposes. Because the marquee is a solid square, setting up the marquee and keeping it up despite the weather, is easily achievable, no matter the terrain. The economic size of the 4m marquee also means that creating adaptable flooring which is easy to lay as well as being inexpensive, is most achievable.

4m x 6m Green PVC Marquee

DIY’s 4m marquee has been the envy of many who have tried to imitate the quality of the marquee, the most popular of which is the Commercial double strength PVC marquee, with its super-strong 42mm steel framework. With quality products in play, one can be forgiven for believing that the cost of the marquee would be significantly higher than others in the market but fact is, the cost of the marquee remains imminently affordable without any sacrifice regarding quality. Such party or commercial 4m marquees are guaranteed to continue to weather the storm for season after season. (Although DIY will never fail to remind customers that there are some conditions, which simply should not be attempted!)

You may ask yourself what is a PVC Marquee. It’s premium 650gsm PCV which is the preferred material as it increases the life-span of the marquee indefinitely, all weather and durable.

So if you are considering a winter wonderland wedding, never fear as we have helpful Wedding Marquee Tips for your perfect day!

IBS offer you solutions that improve overall efficiency reducing wear and tear on your equipment

Looking to significantly improve the pneumatic conveying systems for your business? IBS Industrial Blower Systems can offer you solutions that improve overall efficiency and reduces wear and tear on your equipment. What makes IBS such a success as a business, is the depth and understanding that their engineers have of the countless applications, functions and solutions provided by the products that they sell, service, repair, recondition for basically any production, manufacturing or industrial environment imaginable. At the end of the day, it comes down to excellent service, reliable products and a blend of customer service and practical application at competitive prices and being physically able to provide all of this, all the time.

Home

While best known for being suppliers of vacuum pumps, blowers and similar equipment such as compressors, those use in the road tanker industry, or rotary valves most commonly in the food industry, IBS has extended their range to include dense conveying equipment and systems to accommodate the needs of industries such as milling, environmental, chemical and building industries. It is fair to say that while the application of dilute phase systems, widely accepted as being more economical and simpler in application, is a limited application when compared to dense phase systems. Where there is a requirement to move a denser product or concentration of fragile, abrasive or friable materials, the dense phase pneumatic system, such as the Gvf impianti range available from IBS, is undoubtedly more efficient. The ability to move bulk product, while preserving the integrity of the product, at low velocity with high pressure, results in higher industrial efficiency, with less wear and tear on the system, reducing the cost of system maintenance.

Speak to IBS process engineers who can perform a full survey, complete with reports and plans which will provide you with a full choice of relevant and practical options which will assist you in designing the best system, relevant to your business’s needs.

Over the last decade, the use of dense conveyancing systems and industrial mixing equipment has seen a sharp rise in utilisation in the fast-paced FMCG environment, especially due to developments made in this industry resulting from the sharp rise in demand for packaged and pre-prepared goods. In a world that is itself, fast moving, keeping up with consumer demand requires innovation, effectiveness and efficiency. Well-known manufacturers of industrial mixing equipment, Mix srl and Olocco company, consistently meet industry’s demand for products which can sustain the high volumes of materials, with high quality equipment which does not suffer easily from wear and tear.

IBS has been supporting industry by providing them with reliable new and reconditioned equipment that is the bedrock of the reputation that has sustained IBS over many decades. Variety and application, versatility and consistency are what one comes to expect from IBS, sustained by engineering expertise that combines to create a powerful blend that can be relied upon, not only for new systems but also for the maintenance of existing systems.
