Harmony Business hosts seminar on Food Recycling in Scotland

 

On Wednesday 8th May, we hosted a seminar at Anniesland College in Glasgow. Our Sales Manager, Peter Loftus hosted the seminar alongside representatives from Zero Waste Scotland and Tidy Planet. The aim of the seminar was to introduce and demonstrate food recycling to a number of number of hotel and restaurant owners in Scotland. 

Peter has spent the last few months working closely with businesses in Scotland ensuring that they are going to be compliant with new laws on food recycling when they are introduced next year. If you don’t know already; from 2014, hospitality businesses in Scotland will not be allowed to put food waste down waste disposals as they do now. All food waste must be recycled according to legislation put in by the government. As with all legislation, it can be lengthy and complicated so this seminar was used as a way of simplifying the legislation and telling businesses, what exactly they need to do to be complaint.

This seminar also gave us the opportunity to demonstrate first hand a suitable and effective food recycling system that Anniesland College already have in place. We presented three options that would be suitable for the businesses owners who attended and answered all questions surrounding the new legislation and it effects on peoples businesses.

Here are a few picture of a installation we carried out at Askham Hall

Kitchen Installation| Old Hall Inn Grassington

 

Just a short post for you all today. Last week our friends at the Old Hall Inn at Grassington were featured on Channel 4’s very popular programme, Four In A Bed. Like most people, we get excited when there is someone that we know on the television, however we were equally excited to see their kitchen being featured, as it is one of our installations.

We are sure you know that Andy from the Old Hall Inn is an excellent chef, if not… where have you been! On the programme he got a chance to share his culinary genius and we are very proud to have supplied the kitchen that helps him create such a popular menu.

The video below shows his fantastic breakfast menu and of course the kitchen!

Illegal Gas Fitter Faces Prison| The Importance of Gas Safe

 

An unregistered gas fitter has received a nine month suspended prison sentence for illegally carrying out sub-standard gas work at establishments in South wales. Gas Safe inspectors found a number of safety defects with the gas appliances installed, including pipework being connected in a way that could have resulted in a serious gas leak if not rectified.

The unregistered engineers had been a multiple offender and had been previously warned of his illegal activity. After his hearing, HSE Inspector, Sara Joanne Carter, said; "Every year there are fires; explosions and people are killed by carbon monoxide poisoning as a direct threat of gas appliances being improperly installed or maintenance  In order to prevent such incidents, it is fundamental requirement that anyone who worked on gas appliances is competent to do so."

At Harmony Business we understand the importance of Gas Safety, and as a result all of our engineers are Gas Safe Registered. This means that they are all qualified to work on gas appliances  So you if have any gas equipment or any maintenance issues always ensure you use a gas safe register.
