So Levelling Up is formally no more. Not sure that anyone will miss the departmental name but I hope it does not forget that some actual levelling up is not necessarily a bad idea. #Levellingup #departmentname #politics #housing #localgovernment #living #livingsector #weloveliving https://lnkd.in/evCjwHDf

We all are labourers…..! On this labour day, we want to respect not only labourers but the whole working class because if we think about it from a different perspective, every one of us is a labour. We all are working for our clients, and clients are serving their customers. This means that we all are a part of the labour community. either it is #PhysicalLabour or it is #MentalLabour. You just need to decide on which side you belong to. Now, let’s go one layer deeper. Physical labour is primarily a very important part of a #community’s #development and is most respectable. Because all farmer-brothers and sisters are the #backbone of our #country. So, we at Snail Integral LLP, use our mental labour #power to cater our #clients. As a result, we all will become a fluid system in which our country’s backbone can work freely and confidently. We would like to encourage you all to share your thoughts in the comment section. Happy International Labour Day #internationallabourday #labourday #farmer #farmingcommunity

Thanks to David Collett for the time he afforded me today on my visit to one of his depots in Halifax. Which happens to be my home town !! It was great for me to hear of the skill and expertise that is involved moving abnormal loads around the country. Also the issues and challenges which were really brought to life. This specialised sector is vital to UK PLC. We collectively convened a working group early last year after operators reported inconsistencies and challenges with abnormal loads enforcement. The group consists of the Heavy Transport Association, National Highways, Backhouse Jones Solicitors, National Caravan Council, Park Dean Resorts, Construction & Plant Association, National Farmers Union, Hiab, Ainscough Crane Hire, along with ourselves and other key operators within the industry. Hauliers have told us that inconsistency of enforcement increases bureaucracy and costs, and the knock-on effect can be felt in the wider economy, with projects getting delayed and potentially postponed. As a result, we have established strong relationships with the police, including senior officers from the National Police Chiefs Council (NPCC), along with a number of forces. We are all clear that safety is paramount on our roads, and our collective aim is to ensure that firms have the clarity and certainty they need to be able to move their customers’ goods efficiently and without additional bureaucracy. We recognise that the forces have a difficult job to do, and we know that abnormal loads are a complex field requiring specialist knowledge, experience, and consideration. Inconsistency can make it difficult for hauliers and their customers to find real-time, realistic solutions. The NPCC is working with the industry on a project to update the national guidance to reinforce their efforts to increase knowledge of the rules and improve cross-force consistency. We will continue to work together to share ideas, understand concerns, and explore opportunities to benefit policing and operators. Working together with other stakeholders has given this campaign different perspectives, inputs, and impetus than if any of us had tried to tackle this alone. It shows the value of collaboration and engagement as we strive to make sure operators have the confidence and clarity they need. In the meantime, we’re conducting an economic impact assessment so that we can articulate the cumulative effect these issues are having on our industry and beyond. We will continue to update on our progress. Welcome to the working group David and team. Comments always welcome

A Salute to all business owners and their hard-working employees. When selling a business, one of the questions that we get is what do I tell my Employees? We can help answer this question and many more.

A recent YouGov poll shows that most agree we need to build more houses ✅ But 67% of people surveyed oppose building on the Green Belt ❌ It's clear that millions of people value the green space around their towns and cities. The Green Belt is home to farming, wildlife, tranquility and much-needed access to open space. Most of the government's housebuilding target could be met by building on brownfield land, and so we welcome strong steps to make that happen. https://lnkd.in/e5F-VEWw
