Hazelmere Windows & Conservatory Outlet: a must watch DIY SOS: the big build – Thursday 15th June on BBC 1 at 9pm.

Steel Window Association: W30 steel windows from members are the slimmest steel options currently on the market which comply to current Part L building regulations.

Business Micros: “We think the only way to really appreciate EvoNET’s capability is to see it in action and, with demand for the product increasing all the time, ” Graeme Bailey MD said.

Mercury Glazing Supplies: has just extended their aluminium inline patio door range by introducing the Smart Aluminium Slide 2000 sliding patio door to its growing portfolio. Chris Reeks, the company’s Sales and Marketing Director, said, “Patios remain a very popular part of our portfolio and the new Slide 2000 sliding patio door sits perfectly alongside our Visoglide range of patios”.

Kayflow: cast iron style rainwater goods are authentic reproductions of original designs, accurately made in all the traditional profiles, sections and sizes and with a surface texture that makes them highly appealing and cost-effective alternatives to the hugely more expensive, real thing!

SafeGuard: the major supplier of glass related products and services across the UK, is delighted to be confirmed as glass supplier for the second phase of refurbishment work being carried out on the Victoria & Albert Museum in London.

frameXpress: training commitment brings positive results. Angela Griffin comments, “frameXpress strives to train staff to the highest industry standards and encourages growth within their chosen path. ”

Fosters collaboration between academia and industry and provides open access to one of the highest concentrations, automated, state-of-the-art materials chemistry equipment, anywhere in the world.

Icotherm: Solid Roof offers free on-site assistance to first-time installers of the roof system, as part of its customer support package.

Solidor: “we only sell Solidor because we don’t see the point in selling anything less. It’s the most secure, and it looks absolutely stunning every time, ” says Rob Gaunt, Truglaze Director.

Window Widgets: “Using our jack means installers know they’re getting a high-quality product that works, and has all the right certification and its CE Marked” says Martin Dickie MD.

Buying a business or running one – you need to care about it

Knowledge is a key business asset and the acquisition, preservation and sharing of that knowledge defines a business’s success, if you think about it acquiring a business without the knowledge to find and then service customers profitably means that there is nothing worth paying for, buildings full of office furniture and machines. There is more than one sort of knowledge however and whilst Explicit knowledge is easy to acquire and manage Tacit knowledge is just the opposite.

Explicit knowledge is written down and embodied in processes, procedures and software, you can put your hands on it, you can duplicate it and you can disseminate it. We are taught explicit knowledge in company training and at universities… facts. Tacit knowledge on the other hand is much harder to write down, it’s about how you use the facts to achieve your goals, knowing what to do with information and very often in our sector where formality and recording information scrupulously are less common it’s also ‘what’s in Fred’s head’ the knowledge of the history and circumstances behind current events (why is that customer so upset about such a small issue). Tacit knowledge is often explained by citing our ability to recognise faces, humans are particularly good at it but how would you pass on the knowledge that allows a good salesperson to recognise a person that comes on to your stand at Fit Show and understand the threat or opportunity of such a visit to an alien that didn’t have that ability to recognise faces? ...more
