Many employees can feel under pressure and stressed in the workplace, but Working for Wellbeing provide a solution that equips employers with the correct skills to ensure that the work place is a healthier and happy environment.

The Maldon finalist in the Young Entrepreneur category was another Burnham resident and Dengie Enterprise Support client, George Hosegood, a co-founder of Turvec Solutions.

As cycling continues to rise in popularity, the demand for suitable cycle storage facilities is following suit. Turvec Solutions provide quality, user-friendly solutions which maximise cycle parking capacity, through unique and innovative designs.

With the strong belief of how important it is to provide cycle parking that takes into account security and usability, Turvec’s products are designed to provide secure, lasting infrastructure that can be used by people of all abilities. The company’s aim is to build confidence in cyclists to comfortably use their bicycles more frequently. Turvec believe their systems are more advanced and of a higher quality than those currently used in the UK and Europe.

Although currently using sub-contractors for the installation of their systems, Turvec aim to employ their own installation employees as they grow, as well as a UK based CAD designer. However, this is where they require the help and guidance from the Essex BIG Business Boost. As a brand, Turvec wish to increase the awareness of their brand and their products; convincing companies to adopt these new systems rather than inferior products. They will receive support GEORGE HOSEGOOD RECEIVING HIS PRIZE FROM BOB and expertise from Dengie Enterprise Support in achieving this.

Transforming food waste DELIVERING TO HALSTEAD into renewable energy

Have you ever wondered what happens to your food waste once it is collected by our contractors?

Your leftover food is sent to Tamar Energy’s Anaerobic Digestion (AD) plant in Halstead where it is turned into power, biofertiliser and water.

Anaerobic digestion recycles food waste to produce low cost, low carbon renewable energy. It diverts food waste from landfill and incineration and reduces carbon emissions. The AD process also produces a biofertiliser which is proven to increase crop yields while also returning essential nutrients to the land. UNLOADING AT HALSTEAD

What happens inside an AD plant? 1. The food waste delivered to the facility is weighed at the weighbridge. 2. All received material is inspected and any unsuitable items (contaminants, such as metals or plastic) are removed. 3. Following pre-treatment (shredding), the organic matter is fed into the digestion process. From this point forward, it is entirely contained within sealed pipework and tanks. 4. The material is pasteurised to ensure that all pathogens and undesirable bacteria are killed. 5. The digesters are completely sealed to create an oxygen free environment needed for the bacteria to thrive. Each digester is fed by a pumped pipework system. Within the digestion tanks, material is digested at around 55°C to produce biogas and a compost-like product. The digestion process takes around a month, after which the gas is extracted. 6. Biogas produced from the digestion process is extracted from the top of each digester and taken to a Combined Heat and Power (CHP) unit, where it is used to generate renewable energy. The majority of the electricity generated on the site is sent to a local electricity network and the remainder provides all the on-site power required for the plant. 7. At the end of the process, a stable, nutrient-rich biofertiliser is created. The process meets stringent requirements set by the British Standards Institute PAS110, the Environment Agency and ABPR (Government regulations for animal by products).
