Franchise Award and Recognition Programmes – 5 Key Considerations It is only natural that in an industry which has seen positive growth now for ten plus years there are a large number of people and organisations looking to benefit from the fruits of its labour. More franchisors are looking to build their networks and with that means more marketing budgets for people to fight for. 1 – The Cost If you are being asked to pay for advertising space as part of a recognition scheme, is it a representative scheme, or just another money making campaign? Advertising is advertising and recognition schemes should provide frameworks to benchmark and identify successful businesses in particular categories or sectors. The assessment process should be transparent and fair for all who engage with it. 2 – The Judges If you are participating in a programme that involves judges it would be wise to know who they are, if they are credible, and importantly that there is no conflict of interest. Do they have industry longevity, breadth of experience and depth of knowledge? And would you trust them with your confidential company information? In addition and shame we have to mention it but does the judging process mentioned actually exist? 3 – The Criteria What is the entry criteria? Is the information you are being asked to provide sufficient for an external party to make a judgement on your business? And if not, how would a cross entry analysis take place? This may seem simple but unfortunately there are examples of franchisors still in their infancy utilising promotional platforms to promote themselves as industry leaders when they have not yet built solid foundations. As we know franchising is a slow and steady race, quick wins are costly and industry recognition that strengthens market place proposition should be earned. 4 – The Process Franchising is a diverse sector and for that reason a credible programme should provide a clear outline of criteria along with any formal supporting evidence required to enable a fair judging process. During the process you should have ample opportunity to share your brand and story and there should be plenty of mechanisms to gather data and insights from the process that will prove beneficial to any supporting PR campaign. 5 – The Return on Investment You have submitted your entry, been shortlisted, possibly attended a finalist presentation and are about to enjoy a wonderful ceremony where you receive your award. That’s all very nice but what happens next? It can be resource heavy to produce a compelling entry that will capture the attention of judges and see you reach the top spot. For that you should benefit from an award that can: 1. set you apart from competition in the industry. 2. Is a proposition strengthening tool in the market place and 3. Provides you an opportunity to strengthen your relationship with your network. You should be engaged in a post PR campaign that facilitates exposure you otherwise would not have been able to achieve.

Sandstone Yoga & Pilates promoting positivity at home and in the work place With January seeming to never end, we speak to Michelle Nicklin, founder of Sandstone Yoga & Pilates on how she retains her and her networks health and wellbeing. Michelle has been practicing yoga for over 30 years, so she knows a thing or two about inner peace! How do you beat the ‘January Blues’ to stay driven? Here are my top tips to keep myself driven well into the long January: · Clear out clutter (emotionally & physically). It is good to start a new year lighter in many ways, get rid of the baggage all round. · Don’t take on too many resolutions. Change one thing at a time & make sure you maintain that for 30 days to ensure the habit stands. · Try one day a week as a vegetarian & without caffeine. Get creative with your recipes, there is so much variety out there now. How do you maintain well-being in the workplace? We encourage all of our studio owners to keep up their yoga & meditation practice. I have trained many yoga teachers over the years whose own well- being suffers when they start to take on too much. You cannot feed others if you are hungry yourself. We encourage all of our studio owners to take a break from work during the day & have established a good network of support with our studio angels. We encourage studio owners to support each other. Our first three studio owners have become friends & socialise with each other. I know they never feel truly alone as I know my HQ team go above & beyond for our franchisees. We respect each other’s time & love our own time away from our businesses so we stay healthy & refreshed to serve our clients. We encourage studio owners to have holidays & help them plan for this by recruiting the right people around them who can maintain our high standards. In what ways does Sandstone Yoga & Pilates build a happy work culture? First and foremost Sandstone is a business. But we are underpinned by very strong values, culture and ethics, partly because of the business we are in.

  • NHS 111 First Programme Implementation in Hampshire/Isle of Wight
    Committee: Health and Adult Social Care Select Committee Date of Meeting: 10th November 2020 Report Title: NHS 111 First programme update Report From: Sam Chapman Urgent & Emergency Care Associate Programme Director David Barker Head of Communications and Engagement NHS 111 First programme implementation in Hampshire/Isle of Wight 1 Introduction The purpose of this paper is to update committee members on the implementation of the NHS 111 First programme across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. This is a national initiative from the NHS, essentially offering an enhanced 111 approach, supported by a local clinical assessment service. Its aim is to ensure that people who require NHS care urgently, but who do not have a life-threatening condition, are directed to the most appropriate service for their need once they have been triaged and assessed, and that this happens quickly and easily for them. In addition those patients who, following assessment, still require to be seen at an emergency department, can be offered a timed slot to attend, offering what is intended to be a more convenient service for the individual. It also enables hospitals and other providers to better manage demand for emergency care services, and reduce the risk of infection more effectively with fewer people in waiting areas. NHS organisations, including commissioners plus acute, ambulance and primary care providers, are working together to deliver this enhancement to the NHS 111 service in a coordinated way within the four local integrated care partnership (ICP) areas – Portsmouth and south east Hampshire, North and mid Hampshire, Southampton and south west Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.

  • The Poetry of Brass Bands
    The poetry of brass bands Gavin Holman 28 September 2017 (National Poetry Day) - updated July 2021 Over the years several brass bands have been immortalised in poetry. From those lauding their heroes to the ones which are critical or even insulting. From the earliest days, poets have found something in the music of the bands and the people who play in them to inspire their muse. I think it is fair to say that most of the writers would not have made a career out of their works - some are certainly more William McGonagall than William Wordsworth – but nonetheless they are priceless views of the bands and bandsmen. 131 examples of odes to the bands of the past are provided here for your enjoyment.

  • NEWSLETTER – October 2014 Druce Farm Roman Villa Edition East
    East Dorset Antiquarian Society www.dorset-archaeology.org.uk. [email protected] Established 1983 Edited by: Andrew Morgan, email: [email protected] , tel: 01202 731162 NEWSLETTER – October 2014 Druce Farm Roman Villa Edition “Absolutely blown away by my visit to the Druce Roman Villa” This was the reaction of a delighted local resident from Puddletown after attending our latest Open Day. Throughout the season we have put a great deal of effort into providing access to the Druce Farm Roman Villa for as many people as possible. We have run three Open Days (see article below) and supported the CBA National Archaeology Week over two weekends. Working with Dorset County Museum we made the site available for school visits (see article below). Over a dozen local societies have visited the site and in addition Lilian has given a series of talks (a total of 22 during 2014) to groups around the county and beyond. We have benefitted from visits by many experts; professional archaeologists from the commercial and academic world, learned members from societies across the country and the men of stone from Purbeck quarries. We were honoured by a visit from Professor Sir Barry Cunliffe who really enjoyed an afternoon on site; he offered recommendations for further investigation and most importantly has promised his ongoing support to the project. BBC South Today delivered a live broadcast from the site and Dorset County Museum arranged for a company to take overhead imagery using a drone device, for possible use in the new archaeology gallery. I totally agree Sir Barry, BUT……………………… This is a community excavation led by EDAS with participation from individuals and groups from all over Dorset.

Chris Arden and Rob Bowers 1. Introduction: Tony Corbin (TC AFA PSG Coordinator) welcomed everyone, reiterating the aims of the PSG. He handed out copies of the one page AFA PSG Summary to the several first time attendees. (NB Donations of £49 were received (thank you) to cover the costs of refreshments (£25 charged by the hospital catering group).The surfeit of £24 has been donated to AFA. 2. Focus On Anticoagulation – Tamara Everington AF… This open Q&A style discussion started with Tamara providing a layperson’s explanation on what blood is, mentioning the role of plasma, platelets and the fact that blood clotting is a natural/needed process (i.e. in case of accident or a fall). The body is essentially programmed to make (and dissolve) clots. However, people are different (‘bleedy or clotty’) plus illnesses vary the blood make- up. Those with AF face up to a 5x higher risk of injurious clots leading to strokes. Anticoagulant therapy protects and restores ‘the system’ to a healthy balance and lowers stroke risks. Tamara added that Aspirin no longer viewed as effective for those with AF. (unless in addition to anticoagulants for blocked arteries with symptoms). Anticoagulants (Warfarin and the new DOACs) Long established, Warfarin is still viewed as an effective treatment for many patients living with AF.(Don’t fix what isn’t broken).
