Executive Career Solutions (UK) Launches New Chief-Officer Services

Leave a comment

Executive Career Solutions has developed a portfolio of chief officer resume solutions, notably for C-level executives of major corporations.

Newbury, United Kingdom — The recent UK launch of Executive Career Solutions is designed to support chief officers, executives and directors in career development and progression. One of the most important elements of starting an executive job search involves establishing a baseline in terms of understanding what candidates have done, value added experience / expertise and what they can offer employers going forward. Very often this is achieved by developing an executive resume as a value proposition. Once the executive resume is in place, there is the option to add career management, executive mentoring or bespoke solutions to deliver an integrated / incremental approach to career management. The idea is to help solve specific issues by adding on various modules such as interview coaching, executive job hunting, career planning, leadership coaching and LinkedIn profiles (personal online brand).

To help customise the approach for each customer, Executive Career Solutions has developed a portfolio of chief officer resume solutions, notably for C-level executives of major corporations. For instance, the CIO CV aims to deliver viable solutions for Chief Information Officers. The chief information officer resume covers core aspects of the CIO role which can overlap with Chief Technology Officer roles depending on how jobs are designed and involve different degrees of technology transformation / enterprise architecture. Furthermore, the CTO CV has been introduced for chief technology officers deploying technology (and strategy) effectively in large organisations. Meanwhile, the COO CV has been designed for chief operating officers responsible for day-to-day business operations and overall company operations strategy.

Regardless of the scenario, Executive Career Solutions is able to assist chief officers in looking for next roles, career progression or transition to another industry domain. Executive Career Solutions is a UK-based company helping CEOs, Executives and Directors plan and execute next career moves. Value added end-to-end executive career management solutions for future success at the very highest level. Working collaboratively with executives to create a worthwhile proposition to stand out and help maximise opportunities in a competitive executive job market / global talent pool.

Commercial Property Buyers Advised to Consider Intelligent Financial Solutions Prior to Purchase

Leave a comment

UK Property Finance Talks the Options Available when Borrowing Against Commercial Property

London, UK, December 09, 2016 – One of Britain’s leading names in the provision of intelligent financial products and services has issued a call to prospective commercial property buyers. According to the team at UK Property Finance, there’s much to be gained from considering all available options before deciding on a final solution or package for property purchase.

As there are various options available to suit a wide variety of purposes, UK Property Finance insists that there is nothing to gain from diving in without careful consideration. From standard developer loans to bridging loans to secured personal loans and more, UK Property Finance offers access to a wide variety of options with the best possible value for money guaranteed.

Borrowing Against Commercial Property

“UK Property Finance works closely with our clients and lending partners to get the best deal available. We pride ourselves on listening to our customer’s needs and matching them to our lenders criteria helping drive through their business lending plan. UK Property Finance are a “whole of market” directly FCA Authorised and Regulated Master Finance Broker. Our whole market broker status enables us to source funds from any lender and offer the very best commercial rates.” – UK Property Finance

When it comes to standard borrowing against commercial property, loans are typically available up to 75% of the property’s value.

However, this can be increased with targeted negotiations and in accordance with the circumstances of the borrower. There are usually two ways of repaying a commercial loan – a standard term of monthly repayments or an interest-only plan. In the case of the latter, the full balance minus the interest must be paid at the end of the term.

Along with standard commercial property loans, UK Property Finance also offers access to incredibly convenient and versatile bridging loans. Where larger sums of cash are needed at short-notice to effectively ‘bridge’ a gap or shortfall, a bridging loan can be uniquely valuable. With low rates of interest and repayment terms as short as one year, there’s often no faster or more convenient way of plugging the occasional financial hole.

Rapid Results

“A commercial bridging loan can be arranged and paid out often before a lender being used for longer term finance has even started to review the case. Commercial Bridging loans, as it suggests, would be secured on commercial or semi-commercial properties in the same manner as a standard residential bridging loan and normally arranged within the same timeframe. The number of uses are also wide and varied but as commercial bridging finance is not regulated by the FCA, additional funding reasons are allowable, provided any use is fully legal.” – UK Property Finance

UK Property Finance is committed to making it as easy and affordable as possible to borrow any amount of money for any commercial purpose. Regardless of the urgency of the matter or the problems you may have encountered in the past, an intelligent service solution from UK Property Finance really could make all the difference.

About UK Property Finance:

UK Property Finance is a fully independent, FCA regulated organisation specialising in intelligent financial products and advice for property buyers and developers. The company also operates bridgingloans.co.uk, which is Britain’s leading name in the arrangement and brokerage of intelligent financial solutions. Though newly formed, this dynamic group of businesses has already earned a strong reputation up and down the UK among private property buyers and commercial developers alike.

Whatever the circumstances, the team at BuyMyMotorhome are always available to turn an otherwise complicated transaction into a convenient reality.

STORY IDEA: 14 Year Old Philanthropic Bee Keeper Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman save the planet in comic books and movies Jake Reisdorf, only 14 years old, is the real deal

Leave a comment

Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman save the planet in comic books and movies. Jake Reisdorf, only 14 years old, is the real deal.

Carmel, CA, December 05, 2016 – An eighth-grade honor student at Carmel (Calif.) Middle School, Reisdorf is an in-the-flesh superhero who, over the past four years, has ambitiously educated himself on the art and science of beekeeping, a hobby he has turned into a thriving family business as the teenaged CEO of Carmel Honey Company.

But his quest is more important than tending hives (he has 70) and peddling honey, which he currently sells in four varieties (orange blossom, sage, wildflower, and Meadowfoam) to more than 80 clients, including many of California’s best restaurants.

Crop pollination by honey bees, he’ll explain, is responsible for one-third of all of the food consumed by mankind. The world’s honey bee population is dying at an alarming rate. If the bees go away, so will the earth’s foliage. If the plants die, scientists say, humans will follow within three years. Jake would prefer to graduate from high school.

As if his efforts weren’t already noble enough, Reisdorf also has created a nonprofit charity, “Jake Gives Back,” from which he generously donates funds from Carmel Honey Company to organizations that promote honey bee research and education efforts.

His 2015 beneficiary was the El Nino Bee Lab at the University of California Davis, and the 2014 recipient was the Honey and Pollination Center at the Robert Mondavi Winery.

The youngster also speaks on a regular basis to school children, civic groups, even academics and other beekeeping enthusiasts, sharing the staggering wealth of knowledge he has accumulated over the past four years, since he initially became enthralled with honey bees as a 10-year-old.

Within a year, Reisdorf knowledgebase had become so deep that he was invited to address a crowd of 500 at the first-ever bee symposium at the University of California-Davis, home of one of the nation’s top entomology departments.

“I’m constantly meeting beekeepers who have been doing this for years, and their families have been doing it for generations,” he said. “I’m always learning new things.”

In the company of his parents, Becky and Jeff Reisdorf (dad is a building contractor in Monterey County, Calif.), Jake also travels all over the country to seminars and conferences to build upon his education (and theirs).

“Whenever we go to a conference, everybody looks first at my husband, then at me,” Becky said with a laugh. “We just say, ‘Nope, not us!’ and point to Jake.”

Mom and Dad are co-managers of Carmel Honey, and chauffeurs, transporting the CEO to his business meetings, and to various locations where, for a fee, he provides and maintains hives for clients. Jake’s 10-year-old sister, Brooke, also helps with the family business, assisting with packaging and other tasks.

More information about Carmel Honey Company and “Jake Gives Back” can be found on the company website (which, of course, Jake built mostly by himself) at www.carmelhoneycompany.com, by calling 831-687-8511, or via email at infor@carmelhoneycompany.com.

Fulham Products Receive 100% Compliance and Excellence for Inclusion in IDEA’s Industry Data Warehouse

Leave a comment

Fulham Product SKUs Now Listed in the IDW for Lighting Distributors.

Hawthorne, CA, USA — Fulham Co., Inc., a leading supplier of lighting components and electronics for commercial, industrial, and specialty applications, today announced that its company’s product SKUs have achieved 100 percent compliance and programmatic excellence from the Industry Data Exchange Association (IDEA). The approved product SKUs will be listed in the Industry Data Warehouse (IDW) database to make it easier for distributors to find details about Fulham lighting products and pricing.

“The IDW provides a standardized format for electrical and specialty distributors to search for products that meet their traditional and solid-state lighting needs,” said Richard White, VP of Distribution Sales for Fulham. “Inclusion in IDW’s database ensures greater product depth and breadth with distributors and is designed to keep them abreast of specification and pricing changes for Fulham components in real time. IDW is a great resource to help us optimize and serve the US electrical distribution channel.”

Lighting and electrical distributors are important partners to Fulham and help serve the North American market. The use of IDW shortens the time between a new product’s launch and its accurate information appearing in distribution partner systems. As product lifecycles accelerate, an automated tool is needed to update hundreds of distributors as quickly as overnight.

Manufacturers can share accurate product and pricing data with distributors and wholesalers using the IDW as a secure, centralized database platform, and North American electrical industry companies rely on the IDW system for up-to-date, accurate product information. IDEA, which maintains the IDW, provides standardized templates for data listings and provides a central repository for product, pricing, packaging, and related information, eliminating the need for distributors and wholesalers to maintain and synchronize their own databases.

“We are delighted to add Fulham’s name to our list of vendors who have received Compliance and Excellence ratings in the IDW database,” said Paul Molitor, President and CEO for IDEA. “For the IDW to remain valuable it’s important to have as many manufacturers’ SKUs listed as possible and Fulham’s products expand our list of lighting components available to distributors and wholesalers.”

About IDEA
The Industry Data Exchange Association, Inc. (IDEA) is the official technology service provider and eBusiness standards body of the electrical industry. The company helps thousands of manufacturers and distributors find the most cost-effective methods for running day-to-day business. IDEA’s applications help connect the supply chain and make business processes efficient, easy and enjoyable for people every day.

Rosendin Electric Receives 2016 DBIA Project/Team Award for Los Angeles Valley College Monarch Center Project

Leave a comment

Excellence Award in Educational Facility Category Presented for Creative Design-Build Collaboration and Expediting Solutions in the Field.

La Palma, CA, USA — Rosendin Electric (http://www.rosendin.com), one of the nation’s largest private electrical contractors and an employee-owned company, has received a 2016 Project/Team Award from the Design-Build Institute of America (DBIA) for its contribution to the construction of the Los Angeles Valley College Monarch Center. The Monarch Center was one of three projects selected in the Educational Facilities category. Earlier this year, the Monarch Center project also received an Electrical Excellence Award from the National Electrical Contractors’ Association (NECA).

DBIA is the only organization in the United States dedicated to defining, teaching, and promoting best practices for construction design-build. To be considered for an award, a project must demonstrate the application of DBIA-defined design-build best practices, including bringing together team members during the proposal process, as well as close coordination from the design development stage through field construction and project completion.

The Monarch Center project represents a successful collaborative design-build project that offered Los Angeles Valley College the best design and value based on criteria, including mitigating any additional costs with expedited design-build solutions to address issues encountered in the field. Part of the challenge was completing the project without disrupting daily operations on the Los Angeles Valley College campus. The completed structure has a unique architectural design and houses the College’s bookstore, cafeteria, health services center, and other faculty and student facilities. The project was completed in 27 months at a cost of $46,661,760.

“The completed Monarch Center has an innovative design and interesting lighting and design features, such as roof lighting and a reflective canopy that eliminates the need for ground lighting,” said Dan Domenici, Project Manager for Rosendin Electric. “By working closely with the lead contractor, McCarthy Building Companies, and other project partners from the outset, we were able to overcome some unexpected challenges. Receiving recognition from the DBIA is something the entire design-build team can be proud of.”

Profiles of the winning 2016 design-build projects are available on the DBIA web site. Additional innovative design-build construction projects spanning education, transportation, technology, data centers, healthcare, and other industries are available on the Rosendin Electric web site, http://www.rosendin.com.
