Rob Henry (Managing Director at LDM), is thrilled to announce the latest addition to the team: LDM’s new Sales Director, Terry Boland. Terry has been a valuable member of the door drop marketing world since 1999, most recently working for Whistl.

“Having worked in the door drop industry for the past 23 years the opportunity of working at LDM UK really did excite me.” Terry says

“The ambition and drive that Rob and his team possess is infectious, combined with a strong brand, and product offering meant this was very much an environment that I wanted to be part of. I feel my knowledge, understanding and respect for this fine media channel we called door drops can only enhance LDM and their offering further. I’m proud and very excited to see where this journey will take us. Watch this space!”.

Having Terry join the team is the latest in a series of new hires, allowing LDM to continue scaling up year on year. “Each new addition to our team brings not only a fresh set of skills, but also a range of different experiences and backgrounds, adding to the culture here at LDM” says Rob Henry, MD. Company culture is something that Henry and his co-director Sean Thomas have made a priority from day one, believing that employee happiness and autonomy is the key to success.

“We set out to do things a little bit differently at LDM. Our aim is to treat our employees as individuals rather than numbers, so that they feel comfortable playing to their strengths. We’ve created a culture of support, with not only support from the Leadership Team to their staff, but also through peer to peer support too. This respect and level of care, then naturally passes onto our clients, who then have the best experience throughout their campaign” Thomas says.

Each new hire at LDM not only continues a pattern of rapid growth at the company, but also opens new opportunities to be better as a business. Elements of the company’s everyday working life are constantly evaluated to ensure the workplace is accessible, an employee of choice for all staff, and a business whom clients look forward to dealing with. Whether it is maintaining a flexible hybrid working model, or looking for new ways to be sustainable, each new employee and client are taken into consideration.

Building a successful business that cares about people and their stories takes a lot of attention and a proactive approach. These attributes are ultimately passed along to the level of service our clients receive. We expect that by having Terry as our latest teammate, we will be able to provide for our clients like never before. Indeed proving the value of door drop marketing.

HMG Paints recognised amongst Family Business Top 100

Family Business United recently released the first 50 individuals on the Family Business Top 100 list. Two of names listed are employees of 92-year-old business HMG Paints Ltd; John Falder, Chairman and Stephen ‘Paddy’ Dyson, Marketing Manager. The duo are recognised amongst other prominent leaders of family business such as John Thatcher of Thatchers Cider, Stephen Bagnall of Alfred Bagnall & Sons, Simon Brewer of Brewers Decorator Centre and Joyce Onuonga of John White & Son Ltd.

The inaugural Family Business Top 100, which showcases some of the best of family business individuals across the UK, was created by Family Business United this year to recognise these people, their efforts and collective importance to our national economy. “We wanted to do something special to celebrate ten years of Family Business United and what better way than to celebrate the individuals managing the businesses that are at the very heart of what we do – championing family firms across the whole of the UK. Family businesses are the backbone of the UK economy and often the unsung heroes too.  Family firms are significant contributors to the economy in terms of jobs provided, income generated, and wealth created and behind each family firm are individuals driving them, making decisions and looking to the future.  Family firms take the long-term view and invest in their businesses and the communities in which they operate, and we wanted to create the Family Business Top 100 to recognise outstanding individuals within these organisations and to shine a light on the people that are making a difference within the business and more broadly too.” Said Paul Andrews, Founder of Family Business United.

HMG Paints are proud to have been recognised on the Top 100 list with John and Paddy both representing the business. “It is an honour to be standing shoulder to shoulder with magnificent family business leaders on the Top 100 list. I’m very humbled to have been recognised for my time and achievements at HMG. Every step of my career has been a pleasure and I have been fortunate enough to work for a business that has encouraged my development and engagement with other family businesses. There is no better culture than the one that family businesses create. Congratulations to the other worthy individuals on the list.” Commented Paddy Dyson.

Recently in 2021 HMG Paints Ltd were awarded the Essence of Family Business award by Family Business United “HMG Paints are truly great ambassadors of the family business sectors and in the eyes of the judges totally represent the essence of family business. They are worthy winners of this national award.” Said Paul Andrews.

Featured in the Family Business Top 100 list, John Falder has been in the paint industry and his family business, HMG Paints Ltd (formerly H. Marcel Guest) for almost his whole life. Venturing into the family business for the first time when he was about 7, accompanying his father, Brian and grandfather, Herbert Falder, founder of the business, John has never looked back.

“My very first job was sticking on labels, and packing tubes of adhesive this was fantastic, and a good Saturday morning which involved me earning some wages (2 shillings and 6 old pence to be exact), which were spent later in the day at a local toy shop.” said John in an interview.

After John graduated from Bangor University in chemistry and marine biology, he started his full-time career in HMG at 21 years old and remains a huge part of the business 46 years later, stepping down as Managing Director in 2021 and becoming Chairman.

In 2021 John Falder was awarded the paint industries highest honour with a lifetime achievement award from the British Coatings Federation. “John is a great example of someone that has dedicated his career to the family business and embraced each opportunity along the way.  He thoroughly deserves recognition and his place in the Family Business Top 100” said Paul Andrews.

HMG Paints second recognition on the list is Stephen ‘Paddy’ Dyson who joined HMG Paints Ltd at just 18 years old (19 years ago) following in his father’s footsteps. Starting from humble beginnings in the label printing room, Paddy quickly became noticed by peers for his dedication & enthusiasm for the family business.

Paddy put himself forward for the new Marketing Manager position in 2008 and has since completely transformed the branding and marketing of HMG Paints with the family values at the core of everything that is done. Throughout his time in the business Paddy has also been an ambassador for HMG taking part in talks and judging panels for industry & family business events such as Family Business United.

In 2019 Paddy was a finalist for the Young Leader of the Year Award with the British Coatings Federation based on his achievements throughout his time at HMG. From creating internal engaging content for staff around the family values of the business to promoting them externally, Paddy has a skill set that is second to none and continues to go above and beyond for HMG and his peers.

“Paddy is an exceptional individual and totally committed to the family business in which he works, as well as the broader family business community and thoroughly deserves recognition for all that he does and is a deserving recipient of a place in the Family Business Top 100.” Commented Paul Andrews.

The nominations for the Family Business Top 100 list were sought from all corners of the UK and all sectors of the economy. Entrants must have been working in a senior position within the business for at least five years.

Pure Retirement supports Brave Starts report which calls for career development for over 50s

A report highlighting the benefits of embracing an older workforce has earned the support of Leeds-based equity release specialists Pure Retirement.

The landmark report titled Unlocking the Value of an Ageing Workforce has been published by Brave Starts, a not-for-profit organisation which champions the over 50s. The report focuses on how organisations can better leverage, engage and support the opportunity provided by the ageing population. Pure Retirement are promoting awareness of the report amongst employers and the over 50s workforce.

Rachel Pease, Head of Marketing at Pure Retirement says: “Brave Starts have created an invaluable research report on the ways that organisations can support their older workforce, and at Pure Retirement, we’re happy to help promote this to the wider market.

We work closely with customers over the age of 50 and we have a good understanding of their financial needs. So, we’re keen to support other organisations who are making strides to improve the lives of our customer group.”

Lucy Standing, founder of Brave Starts explains: “Our report highlights the benefits for organisations of embracing an older workforce, as well as the ways in which they can make a real difference in engaging and developing them in their ongoing careers.”

She adds: “there is good news: most of what can be done to attract and retain workers over 50 is about being strategic – it’s not about spending lots of money.  Words and actions can make a lot of difference and our report details some specific and constructive ideas about how to go about this.”

“The report also focuses on the things we can all be doing in order to make a difference.”

The key findings of the report Unlocking the Value of an Ageing Workforce are:

  • The biggest driver for people in their 50s is doing work which offers them a sense of purpose. The biggest barrier people face when planning for their working future is simply ‘not knowing what to do next.’  This factor alone was almost twice as significant as any other.
  • What the over 50s want most from organisations are chances to learn more about what opportunities are open to them next and have time to learn about them. This is best understood by encouraging career conversations. The need for flexible work will continue to rise as we age.
  • The majority of practical steps an organisation needs to take can be achieved with little or no cost. Organisations need to recognise the value of age and actively support the career planning process of employees as they get older.
  • With an ageing workforce the entry point into organisations needs to extend from being ‘graduate only’ to include more career change schemes.
  • Ageism is widely felt as the second biggest barrier faced when trying to find work.

Brave Starts offers basic membership for those in later life who would like ongoing career development support, as well as support for organisations who would like to develop their internal capabilities for supporting older workers.

9 Tips to Start a Successful Business From Home

News Desk

0

The only upside to the pandemic is that it has been a boon to the delivery industry. A delivery startup has great financial potential, with more people relying on delivery even in the post-pandemic period.

The delivery business is also a great business to start from home, all you need is a transport medium, and you can deliver anything from flowers to daily essentials. You will also need to know how to drive and some helpful business tips that we will share.

Start With a Solid Plan

You will never finish a journey without finalizing a destination. The same applies to business. You cannot expect success without a roadmap highlighting key milestones that you need to achieve.

Research, evaluation, and capital allocation are key factors that must be included in your business plan. You need to know the product, company, market, and competition to formulate the perfect plan.

A well-put-together and polished plan is more likely to get you a loan than one formulated on a whim.

Get Your Wheels

Any delivery is reliant on efficient transportation. Whether you own a single vehicle or multiple vans, a successful delivery business requires you to timely transport goods from business owners to their clients.

Your vehicle is the source of your business, so invest wisely before selecting one. Mileage, transport distance, vehicle size, and the products you need to transport are essential factors that will help you decide on the appropriate vehicle.

In addition to transport, you will also need cargo protection in the form of tie-downs and cargo straps. Moreover, moving dollies and hand trucks are necessary to move large cargo and avoid risking injury to your employees.

You can also use tape to secure the packaging, which can double as an advertiser for your company. Simply use a tape customizer to make one suited to your company and tape your packages.

Take Care of the Startup Essentials 

Any operating business requires an Employee Identification Number from the IRS. You will need one to open a bank account.

Ideally, you should open your account in the same bank as your personal account, as they already have all your necessary information. But you can also open in a separate bank, preferably one with favorable incentives.

After you have taken care of the bank, the next thing to tackle is the insurance. Commercial auto insurance with cargo coverage will give you peace of mind despite all the safety measures to protect your cargo and vehicle.

Finally, invest in a money advisor, aka accountant, to navigate through financial strategies to make the ideal decision for the business. This is especially important for new business owners who are just starting out.

Work on Your Online Presence and Advertising Measures

Surviving in a business world amongst competitors requires you to stand out and offer your customers something new and different.

Now having an online presence determines the success of a business. First, you will need to build a website that is informative, attractive, and user-friendly, then register it with one of the business website directors like Google My business.

The next step is social media. An active social media presence with established customer interactions and large followers will garner greater trust from clients. A strong social media presence will result in better traffic flow to your website. For best results, outsource to an experienced SEO agency and use paid ads. This is a form of SEO (Search Engine Optimization) technique that allows web browsers to discover your website when typing keywords for queries.

Outline Delivery Rates and Terms

One of the most important tasks to complete in the initial stage is determining the charge rates. Most companies do that based on the delivery distance and the weight of the cargo.

You should also specify the extent of your delivery distance and the locations you will reach. You can offer deliveries in areas outside your jurisdiction for an extra cost. Determine pricing by factoring in staff salaries, fuel costs, vehicle maintenance, tool purchases and other costs.

Work Your Payment Processing Options

Customers prefer platforms that provide a variety of payment options. Access to different payment mediums will help broaden your customer base. Payment methods depend on your clients and most commonly entail digital payments or credit cards. So you will need to have appropriate processor services and mobile applications like card readers.

Work on Your Customer Engagement Levels

Any good business relies on satisfying customer experience. Customers wish to be updated about their product delivery time and its safety preferably in real time. Hence, invest in software and the logistics required to fulfill these needs. You can also invest in attractive packaging to boost customer satisfaction levels.

When the customer knows where their package is, they will be at the right place and time to receive it. This results in decreased failed deliveries and reduces your last-mile delivery costs. You will end with a happy customer recommending your business to their family and friends.

Brainstorm a Business Name

Delivery giants like UPS and FedEx evidence the power of big business names so take your time to select an appropriate one. Make a list of suitable names that align with your company and then narrow it down to the best ones. Be sure to check if the names are available through a Google search and run these names to your family and friends. This is to avoid double meanings or inappropriate names that can spell disaster for your business.

The next step is to register your business. Remember to keep keywords that will allow search engines to find your website.

Get the Correct Licensing and Permits

Almost all states require you to have licenses and permits for home delivery businesses; otherwise, you risk fines and even the shutdown of your business.

It would help if you also inquired about the local laws and business regulations you may need to follow in your area. Take help from a verified business registrar in your area.

Lastly, register your vehicle to evaluate your business resources and other financial details. This also allows your vehicles to operate in areas not available to other civilian vehicles.

Conclusion

As your business flourishes, you will understand your strengths and the areas you need to work on.

The delivery business is a multimillion-dollar industry, and there is plenty of opportunity to make money from it. Given the ease of starting and operating a delivery business coupled with the low costs of running it from home, there is a high chance of profit to be made from the business.

Now geared up with these valuable tips, you are ready to cash in some bucks!

PwC has partnered with further education provider Ada, the National College for Digital Skills to offer young people and those looking to reskill in the North West the opportunity to earn while they learn in a new Technology Degree Apprenticeship (TDA) programme.

The programme will see 65 apprentices joining across three pathways – Cyber Security, Software Engineer and Data Analyst. All of the new recruits will work from PwC’s Manchester office and complete their degree apprenticeship at Ada College.

Almost a third of the apprentices are female – which is above the tech industry average, and a high proportion are from other underrepresented backgrounds in technology, such as minority ethnic and low-income backgrounds.

This is the first time PwC has worked with a further education provider instead of a University to deliver their Technology Degree Apprenticeships, and the company is proud to be offering an alternative entry route to aspiring technologists.

This “work first” programme complements the firm’s “study first” university-based apprenticeships, and will see each apprentice gain a Level 6 Degree Apprenticeship over the course of three years and have the tuition fees for their degree fully funded before they continue their careers at PwC and beyond.

Ben Higgin, Head of Technology and Investments at PwC UK, is spearheading this new programme. He says that the Tech Degree Apprenticeship has been specifically designed to appeal to students who want to get practical work experience straight away, and fast track their careers in technology without the traditional university pathway.

He added: “This programme is an exciting opportunity for people in the North West, creating an opportunity to train much needed talent in our region. As the digital skills gap continues to widen, creating a barrier for growth, we’re proud to share some of the responsibility in supporting a diverse pipeline of entry-level tech talent.

“Our first cohort will be part of our brand-new Tech Hub in the PwC Manchester office and will become PwC employees from day one. They’ll be earning a salary throughout the course which blends 20% college learning with 80% practical work-based technology projects.”

Claire McDonald Apprenticeship Delivery Manager from Ada, the National College for Digital Skills, said:

We are delighted to be working with PwC on the Tech Degree Apprenticeship programme. Manchester is the fastest growing tech hub in Europe so it is the ideal place to launch this ambitious programme. The apprenticeship offering at Ada provides life-changing career opportunities for young people from diverse backgrounds for whom university is out of reach. With an Ada apprenticeship you can earn while you learn with the most sought-after employers in the world and you’ll leave Ada with a full degree qualification under your belt. Ada is providing a pipeline of diverse digital talent into the UK tech sector and we are proud that 95% of our apprentice alumni are in permanent employment in the tech sector or enrolled in Higher Education courses.
