Manufacturing orders and ouput have risen to a 15-year high to accelerate a broad-based recovery for the sector, a new survey reveals.

Looking up: Study suggests strong recovery should continue through summer.

The Engineering Employers Federation found a growing number of firms are enjoying “buoyant” trading conditions following rising demand in overseas and UK markets. (more…)

It’s becoming an increasingly common storyline: job candidate loses job opportunity because prospective boss finds unflattering information online.

If you think you might be in the job market any time soon, or ever really, be sure that you think twice before you post anything online.

A young and talented triathlete – Elliott Cole, approached Jenrick asking for support to help him reach his goal of qualifying for the 2011 Triathlon World Championships. From there, he aims to compete in the Hawaii Iron Man Competition and ultimately represent Great Britain at the Olympics.

Elliott works full time but still maintains an energetic and demanding training schedule to improve his fitness levels, with early morning lake swims, 30 km bike rides, 100 lengths in the pool plus hour long runs . . .and this is just in the week!

Then at weekends, he is either participating in local triathlon events or doing (in his words) ‘long’ swims, bike rides and runs. (more…)

Jenrick Engineering has now achieved this status for meeting extremely high health and safety at work standards for contractors.

‘Deja vous’ in the Water Industry as companies, under pressure to commence the latest upgrade phase (AMP 5), experience an increasing number of problems in recruiting engineering staff, due to the fact that the AMP 4 phase of upgrades are still being completed.

This is swiftly becoming a repeat of the issues faced within the water industry several years ago when the AMP 2 upgrades flowed into the start of AMP 3 – again causing quite severe recruitment issues. (more…)

After a successful first re-supply of food and equipment, the Catlin Arctic Survey Team of Pen Hadow, Ann Daniels and Martin Hartley have set off again on their estimated 85 day journey toward the North Pole. 

 The team endured an anxious three day wait, rationing emergency supplies of their food, as bad weather repeatedly prevented the supply plane from landing alongside them. (more…)

Three British Explorers were tonight finally resupplied with food, fuel and vital equipment after a Twin Otter plane landed on the Arctic Ocean floating sea ice where the team had been waiting for three days. (more…)

Polar explorers Pen Hadow, Martin Hartley and Ann Daniels are surviving on half rations as attempts to resupply them were abandoned for the third  day running by the Catlin Arctic Survey.

The team, who have been battling in what they describe as ‘brutal’ conditions are currently surviving on their last food supplies after bad weather forced one resupply mission to turn back and grounded two other planned flights. The explorers now have only a day’s food remaining.  Temperatures have been consistently down at minus 40 degrees Celsius with strong winds making things even worse. (more…)
