Birmingham 4th June 2010 - Environmental issues and energy efficiency have risen dramatically up the business agenda for organisations of all shapes and sizes. This development goes hand in hand with an increasing awareness of the impact of human activities on the planet plus popular and governmental pressure to do something about it. Changes in commercial processes to tackle the issue cannot be half-hearted; rather, there need to be sweeping changes in the way we do business. Companies must take a long hard look at themselves, analyse their performance from a “green” perspective, then reorganize themselves along sustainable lines.
Birmingham 8th June 2010 – The logistics sector is worth upwards of £55 billion to the UK economy ever year. Over the past decade, the sector has introduced some important changes to modernize the handling of the supply chain, such as new technology, automated processes and innovative systems of stockholding and checking. During this time, the Institute of Transport Management (ITM) has accredited the companies which have pioneered these modernizations to the benefit of the logistics sector, the transport industry and the economy as a whole. It continues to look out for the development of leading-edge technology as well as new strategies of operation. Today, the Institute is pleased to announce the Award of the ‘Innovation in Pallet Storage 2010’ title, which is to honour the achievements of BiS spaceXchange.
Birmingham 14th May 2010 – With car use showing little sign of decline among a general public which is reluctant to switch to greener modes of transport, it is important for car engines to be maintained in good condition for the sake of both the owner and the environment. A fundamental part of this is the timely application of motor oils which keep parts moving smoothly, clean them, inhibit corrosion, enhance sealing and cool the engine. This helps to reduce emissions, improve fuel economy and reduce the risk of a breakdown. But not all motor oils are equal. The biggest and best producers of these products invest in research and development which puts the latest scientific know how to good use in the creation of new products. However, once such programmes have borne fruit it is necessary to construct an appropriate and clear-headed marketing campaign to make sure that potential customers turn into actual customers, on a repeat basis. One company which completes both aspects of this process with aplomb is ExxonMobil, winner of the ITM’s ‘Best Automotive Aftercare Company 2010’ Award.
