Woodworks - Hugh Ridsdill-Smith

woodworks - hugh ridsdill-smith

London

Woodwork and design have been lifelong interests of mine. My introduction to woodwork was with my father in his workshop at home. I studied woodwork, together with metalwork with Ted Mills in Maidstone and had regular lessons from Chris Hoad our local village carpenter in Marden, Kent. Woodwork runs in the family, I inherited my great grandfather’s tools and the workbench – a number of which which I use. I draw inspiration from many sources: the Design Museum is a particular favourite, but skilled work is all around. Recently I took part in a ‘Build a Tiny House’ course at the Centre for Alternative Technology. Their commitment to sustainable living is particularly important for me.I attend courses, exhibitions and trade shows regularly to keep up with the latest trends and developments. I established WoodWorks in September 2016. Our approach is practical, and we put our clients’ priorities first – be they design, practicalilty, affordability, aesthetic or sustainability. Wood is a wonderful material, flexible, strong and incredibly versatile. Most things are possible. If you’ve got a project in mind and want to find out whether and how it will work, I’d be happy to talk it over with you. In September 2020 I established Woodworks Learn, the teaching arm of the business. This was long an ambition of mine, using my background in teaching, coaching and informal community learning. I find immense pleasure helping people to develop their skills and to complete projects.

Wokingham

We're asking your thoughts on draft neighbourhood plans for Twyford and Finchampstead, which will help to shape development in these parishes, until 23 November, 2022. Twyford and Finchampstead Parish Councils have been individually preparing these documents with input from their communities over the past few years. If they're adopted, they'll sit alongside our own policies to guide planning decisions in these areas. Before this can happen, each has to independently examined and then, as long as the examiner agrees, put to a referendum. Each neighbourhood plan proposes a vision for managing future growth within its parish, as well as policies which reflect the priorities of their communities. Your comments matter as they will show whether you and others in the area agree with these ideas. The examiner will scrutinise the plans based on national requirements and can recommend changes, so it's important that we know now whether you would like to see amendments. To view the proposals for each parish and the supporting evidence, please click on the relevant folder. Each includes a form which you can download to send your responses to us. For any alternative formats or help responding, call our customer services team on (0118) 974 6000 or visit our offices at Shute End, Wokingham, or pop into one of the borough’s libraries for assistance in person.

Acacia Learning Ltd

Glasgow

We are a learning company founded on a passion to deliver the highest quality and most flexible training programmes possible – ones that make a real difference to learners and employers alike. Since we started, we have helped thousands of people to take their knowledge, skills and careers to the next level. We are specialists in Human Resources, Learning & Development and Business Management training courses covering the full spectrum from entry-level courses through to postgraduate-equivalent qualifications. Our team of expert tutors work at the forefront of new thinking and practice, and we’re delighted to have been recognised as one of the best CIPD training centres. We started in 2007, in order to offer a more flexible and cost-effective alternative to existing CIPD courses. Our founder Julie Cook (a Chartered Fellow of the CIPD, with a background in HR management) had worked for the CIPD in a role managing the business school and local college. She noticed that a large portion of student fees were allocated to college overheads and central student services, such as empty buildings and long college holidays. This inspired her to set up Acacia Learning, whose model was to hire tutors and rooms only when needed, and provide many more study options, in order to better serve those with busy work schedules and lives. Since then Acacia has grown significantly. We now offer 100% online Business Management qualifications, such as PRINCE2® project management qualifications. What's more, we add new study options, locations and major clients every year.

Bm Trada

High Wycombe

BM TRADA has a long history and heritage that we are justifiably proud of and we can trace our origins back over 80 years to 1934. We are a global testing, inspection and certification company that delivers critical services in materials testing, product qualification testing, inspection and certification to the Fire and Building Products marketplace, where failure in service is simply not an option. Everything BM TRADA does is designed to help our customers to develop better products and processes; get their products to market on time; save time and money; and minimize the risk associated with product and process development as well as product production. Our purpose as a business is a simple one. To help our customers to make certain that all of the materials, products and processes we test, inspect and certify for them, regardless of the industry sectors they operate in, are always safe in their end application; are of marketable quality; are compliant with all relevant standards and industry regulations; and are ultimately fit for purpose. In 1934, a forerunner of what later became the Timber Research and Development Association (TRADA) was set up, its mission, to promote the use of wood in construction in the face of a growth in the use of alternative materials. 60 years later in the mid 1990s and following a management buyout of TRADA’s operating companies, the testing, inspection and certification services were grouped together under the three brands, BM TRADA Certification, Chiltern International Fire and TRADA Technology.
