Whether planning to hold a religious-style wedding in the local church or a low-key ceremony in a registry office, there is almost no getting away from the traditional aspects of a wedding. Whilst the bride would traditionally wear something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue, it is convention for the Groom and guests to wear flower buttonholes.  Unfortunately, due to their delicate nature flowers can begin to look a little worse for wear after the first photograph. So, next time you are invited to a wedding, why not opt for artificial flowers?

With flowers ranging in colour from neutral creams through to vibrant pinks, blues and oranges, there are items to suit every look.

In addition to artificial flowers, we also supply a range of hat bases, combs, headbands and ribbons. These are ideal for those creative individuals that would like to make their own hat for the special day.

Portable Units for Industrial Air Conditioning

Friday, July 30th, 2010

Air conditioning units are an essential investment for industrial settings. Workplaces such as factories produce a large amount of debris, which is carried around in the air, causing uncomfortable conditions for employees to work in. Many businesses, especially those just starting out, cannot afford large wall-mounted units which are necessary for such an environment, meaning that workers are forced to be subjected to off-putting conditions. Portable coolers offer an excellent alternative to standard industrial air conditioning, and here at Cooler’s, we can provide all of the equipment you need for an effective air conditioning solution.

Businesses are sometimes forced to be based within a temporary premises, often due to relocation. The chances are, that the site is not fully equipped for your needs, meaning that the conditions are not as ideal as you would have liked. This may possibly lead to decreased productivity, and loss of profits. Such temporary sites may not include adequate ventilation, but due to its nature, the installation of fixed units may not be cost-effective, hence people begin looking for an alternative solution.

Portable coolers are not only a cost-effective method of air conditioning, but they are also extremely versatile. Due to their lightweight and simple nature, units can be placed around your premises in the places which you need them the most. This provides a quick answer to an otherwise perplexing ventilation issue. As they also require less maintenance that mounted units, you can guarantee that they will provide comfort and reliability for your business and its employees.

Whether you plan to be set within a short-term premises, or if you simply do not yet have the funds to cover the cost of fixed air conditioning units, portable coolers offer numerous advantages for alternative industrial air conditioning. Contact our friendly team to learn more on how our units can benefit your business.

Caberg Flip Front Motorcycle Helmets

Thursday, July 29th, 2010

One of every rider’s biggest adversaries is the weather. Whilst the biting winter brings with it bitter cold and lethal ice, the summer possesses a few problems of its own for intrepid bikers. Blinding sunlight aside, the hotter weather can make even the shortest of journeys uncomfortable, with leathers and helmets offering little in the way of ventilation. Luckily, Caberg flip front helmets available to buy online from the Motorcycle Clothing Shop represent a solution which is safe and stylish. These helmets open vertically, affording a warm rider that much need breeze during those brief stops.

But these helmets aren’t just comfortable; they also offer an unrivalled level of safety too. This is due to three factors; increased peripheral vision, better concentration and ease of access to the face in the event of an accident.

Any biker knows that if you’re wet, cold or too hot, your concentration can be affected. When on the road, it’s crucial to remain alert at all times especially given the reality that many car drivers simply don’t look out for bikes. A flip front helmet keeps riders comfortable, aware of their surroundings, and affords a greater view of peripheral traffic when the front is raised.

At Motorcycle Clothing Shop we stock a variety of these helmets, all of which feature an inner sun visor so that riders aren’t dazzled. While it’s not legal to ride with the front raised, flip fronts are perfect for when stopping for petrol or that quick roadside discussion regarding which way the track is!

For those of us with whom old habits die hard, our website here at the Motorcycle Clothing Shop also features box helmets and HJC FS-Max helmets of varying prices and styles. Regardless of whether it’s these or our Caberg flip front helmets that you require; our informative website, secure payment system and friendly customer service staff can help you get fully kitted out this summer.

Stralis Chassis Cab

Wednesday, July 28th, 2010

Any professional haulage driver will agree that on a long journey, comfort is everything. When travelling for hours at a time without stops, drivers begin to rely on the design of the seat and ergonomics of a vehicle’s cab in order to remain comfortable; a fact that the team here at Iveco understands. That’s why we spent so much time and effort refining the interiors of our Stralis chassis cab range to feature an enhanced comfort area, increased storage facilities and unrivalled ergonomics. On Britain’s busy roads, it’s important drivers remain refreshed and alert and with the Stralis chassis they can.

The Iveco Stralis is the heavy duty mascot of the Iveco haulage range. Available in over 500 different variants, this represents the vehicle of choice for professional firms nationwide. With just a cursory glance at the Stralis, it becomes clear why this is the case. The vehicle fuses modern styling with the level of no nonsense practicality that companies expect.

But it’s not just our interior innovation that has people talking, the number and variety of engine configurations available is another market leading feature. Choices depend upon the specific model and intended usage of the Stralis in question, and power ranges start from 310bhp with a turbo for light commercial usage up to an impressive 560bhp for heavy haulage requirements.

Here at Iveco, we’ve succeeded in achieving something quite extraordinary with our Stralis range. Each engine is fitted with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology which helps guarantee lower emissions than comparable engines and eliminates the need for a particulate filter entirely.

Furthermore, this innovative system also means the vehicles use less fuel and require servicing less frequently. Whether for the relative luxury of their cabs, or their class leading engines; countless customers across the country rely on the Iveco Stralis chassis cab every day. For more information or to book a test drive, get in touch today.

Classic Yacht Insurance

Wednesday, July 21st, 2010

Due to their superior appearance, yachts are a popular choice amongst individuals looking to make a real statement either on the sea or in-land water. Whilst many owners will have spent thousands of pounds purchasing and maintaining their yacht, a large quantity of these people still do not feel that it is important to invest in yacht insurance. As specialists in this area of boat ownership, we at Insure My Boat understand just how easily a yacht can become damaged and recommend that any yacht owner invests in this vital protection.

There is a misconception that insurance for boats is incredibly expensive, mainly due to the fact that it can be quite difficult to search for. It is for this reason that we have developed an easy to use website that enables boat owners to search for insurance that suits their requirements and their budget. Those with an elaborate yacht can search for fully comprehensive insurance, whilst those that use their classic yacht during the weekends can choose a basic insurance option that covers them against accidental damage.

Purchasing insurance from us is really simple, just fill out the enquiry form on the website with the details of your boat and we will provide a comprehensive quote that you can purchase there and then if you wish. Essentially we appreciate that yachts can vary considerably, from their size and shape to where they are used, and this is something that we have sought to reflect in our yacht insurance policies.

Planning to get out on the water this summer? Then take a look at the yacht insurance policies that we have to offer. That way you can concentrate on making the most of your time sailing, rather than worrying about the damage that could be caused to your boat by others or the elements.

What Does Office Insurance Cover?

Monday, July 19th, 2010

When starting up a new business there are so many legal and financial considerations to take in to account. With so many things to pay for in the initial stages, it can be tempting to neglect investing in office insurance. However by remaining appraised of what is actually covered in a policy through a specialist broker like Officeline Specialist Office Insurance Services, businesses can make an informed decision. For established office based companies too, keeping up to date with what policies offer can help save money on unnecessary cover.

Of course, some levels of office insurance are actually compulsory. If a business is employing any number of office workers then it is legally required to purchase employers liability cover which helps pay the expensive settlements, including legal fees sometimes associated with accidents at work.
Here at Officeline, we’re a division of the well established LMI Ltd and are authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority, meaning that we can advise on and arrange insurance policies including comprehensive cover over and above the legal requirements. This would for instance include insuring your property against damage or the contents against theft.

While contents insurance may not seem as useful for offices as it is for retail outlets, precious files and other valuable items can still be found in office areas, including expensive computer equipment/servers etc. Ensuring that these items are protected is one thing that businesses have control over in modern Britain’s unstable economic environment. A final level of insurance worth noting involves covering your income.

This can help offset costs incurred if your business is interrupted for various reasons and ensures that surprises don’t end in heavy losses or bankruptcy. Here at Officeline from LMI Ltd, customers can receive, review and purchase insurance quickly and easily online. With Officeline, office insurance needn’t be just another financial burden; well informed businesses can select relevant cover at their convenience.
