Wheelie bins travel a fair few miles in their lifetime, bear in mind that the life of a wheelie bin is a hard one, they get knocked about, kicked, lids get slammed and the then twice a month a lorry comes along and shakes it about trying to empty it of loads of rubbish.
So have you ever stopped to think how far a wheelie bin travels in its lifetime, well read on to find out more. The vast majority of wheelie bins in use today throughout the UK are made in Germany so roughly speaking that’s around 600 miles (Berlin to London). Once the wheelie bin arrives at the distribution depot they are then transported out typically to the local authorities or their respective agents, the distance here will vary dependent on where you live within the UK, for purposes of this article let’s say that’s another 200 miles to get your wheelie bin dropped off at your local council depot, the final part of this first stage in the life of your wheelie bin is the last few miles to your house, lets add another 30 miles to the tally and hey presto your new bin sits proudly round the side of your house having been loaded and unloaded several times and driven around 830 miles to get here.
Okay so the first part of a wheelie bins travels were pretty easy for it, what follows is where the wheelie bin has to withstand the punishment of twice monthly collections and all round general abuse we all through at our wheelie bins without a care or thought about respect for them.
A typical Wheelie Bin will have a lifecycle of around 5 years and based on an average twice monthly collection service will equate to be emptied around 130 times before your wheelie bin will reach the end of its useful life. Taking an average home and working out the distance from side of house to the road side typically could be 30 yards there and back roughly works out at an additional 4000 yards over its 5 year working life, which adds about 2 ¼ more miles to the running total of the distance your wheelie bin has travelled.

Finding a professional executive recruitment company can prove to be very challenging, add to this if you’re looking to recruit an executive role for a specialised industry and the task of trusting your employment drive to a reputable recruitment company becomes even more of a leap of faith.

When it comes to filling an executive horticultural role, the executive horticultural recruitment companies regard graduate recruitment as an option along with proven work records and as well as those who do not have any direct horticultural experience. This also gives an employer the chance to employ students who have recently graduated but lack hands on experience as a possible alternative over horticultural qualified individuals with additional training and education provided to them.

When looking to fill a Horticultural job many companies are recognising the need to hire specialist recruitment agencies, one who has in depth industry knowledge that will help them identify suitably qualified applicant, providing detailed interviewing criteria thus providing the employer with a qualified short list of potential candidates.

If the vacancy is for a senior role within a specialised niche within the Horticultural sector then a targeted search for suitable candidates may be suitable, this sort of recruitment is often referred to as head hunting, the level that is required and the depth of potential candidates searched for depends on how specific the role being recruited for is, often a bespoke role needs a highly skilled individual to fill it.

Headhunting can be seen as the true executive employment search, because the search is designed to locate the right executive, for a specific horticultural role. Due to this headhunting requires a great deal of initial preparation and planning.

Executive Horticultural Recruitment requires a practice business like approach, gathering facts and as much information about the current role and the future growth plans for the role, this would enable the specialised recruitment agency to better target their recruitment hunt for an executive that fits both the current requirements of the role and is also a match for the future after all as  the role grows the candidate needs to grow with it otherwise headhunting is a costly form of recruitment if the right person isn’t hired first time around.

Larkfleet Group and L&H Homes provide

much needed affordable housing in Peterborough

Larkfleet Group, in partnership with Longhurst & Havelok Homes, has finished work on 42 new affordable homes in the centre of Peterborough.
The affordable development includes sixteen two-bedroom houses, eight three-bedroom houses and two blocks of nine two-bedroom flats.

Thirty-three of the properties are now available at affordable rent and nine of the homes are available as Rent to Homebuy from L&H Homes.

The completion of the development, located on land behind South View Road and Lincoln Road, is good news for many local people who will be able to rent a high quality property at an affordable price.

Despite meeting a need for affordable housing, recent public expenditure cuts have meant the number of developments like this is diminishing, making the amount of affordable housing available fall far short of the demand.

Mel Baker, project manager on behalf of L&H Homes, commented: “I am delighted that the development is complete. I would like to thank all partners involved, especially Peterborough City Council for their support in a long protracted funding’s build process. The properties are of a good build standard and L&H Homes will now be able to offer a range of energy efficient and innovative homes to meet affordable housing needs in the area.”

Karl Hick, managing director of Larkfleet Group, commented: “This development makes effective use of the land available and will provide much needed affordable housing for local people. The environmentally friendly design will be a great asset to the properties and will save occupiers money on fuel bills.

“Unfortunately, affordable developments like this may not be available in the future due to public spending cuts. There is simply not the capital to provide as many affordable properties and those in need of affordable housing will not be able to benefit in the same way as residents of this development.

“Central and local government must urgently consider how we can avoid creating a situation where many people will simply not be able to have a decent home.”

All properties are built to Level 3 of the Code for Sustainable Homes. The high environmental standards highlight the commitments of L&H Homes and Larkfleet Group creating affordable, well-built and energy-efficient homes.

The timber frame construction method that was used on the development is an efficient way of building that allows for quicker construction times. Timber frames for the homes were supplied and erected by Kestrel Timber Frame (www.kestreltimberframe.co.uk), based in nearby Market Deeping, Lincolnshire.

If you are still yet to decide on buying your new home or would like to take advantage of a selection of schemes to help you buy your first home or you are looking to move up the property ladder then Larkfleet Homes who have several developments in and around Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire and Rutland have a wide range of award winning new homes.
