Did you know the John Lewis Partnership helped make AirDoor a reality?   We’ve worked closely with the John Lewis Partnership for many years and in fact they supported us in the development of the AirDoor concept with Wirth Research. Recently we were delighted to work with them on another AirDoor project, this time on their John Lewis & Partners department store in Edinburgh. As with most retailers with ‘open-door’ store entrances, this 160,000 square foot multi-level building had the following issues:   🔷They couldn’t stop outside air from coming in, making the indoor temperature very difficult to control.  🔷They couldn’t always maintain the thermal comfort of staff and customers, especially in the winter / summer months. VES Ltd installed AirDoor-Pillars (a variation of AirDoor used on uniquely sized entranceways) across each of their 4 entrances which spanned multiple levels. This solution helped improve all the previous issues, most noticeably resulting in significant energy savings and an improvement in indoor thermal comfort. However, don’t just take our word for it, hear what Neil Coleman, Partner & Operations Manager (Energy & Innovation) at John Lewis & Partners, had to say about this project below… “The John Lewis Edinburgh AirDoor project with VES has been a massive success in a number of ways. The store has traditionally suffered from excessive heat loss during the winter due to its large door openings and its physical location. Although we are in the early days of monitoring the savings on energy and the associated carbon emissions look to have reduced considerably, this is combined with a significant improvement in the indoor temperatures and conditions within the store. Working on this ground breaking project with VES and our other specialist contractors has been really successful and the new AirDoor-Pillars opens up further opportunities across our UK building portfolio.” To order, enquire or find out more about this award-winning product…   📧 – Email us on airdoor@ves.co.uk #airdoor #productinnovation #indoorairquality

As a business within the hospitality sector, we could be forgiven for putting sustainability at the bottom of our agenda. However, at Glaziers Hall, that's never been the case. In fact, we have been working on a phased plan to ensure that we meet with our targets and continue towards meeting with our net zero ambitions. From a thorough review of all suppliers, resulting in partnerships with eco-conscious companies like The Missing Bean Coffee Roasters and a supplier of eco-friendly Christmas decorations, to significant reductions in our gas consumption by 40% and paper use by 90%, we're making tangible strides towards a greener future. These collective changes are not just numbers on a report; they are making a big difference. They position Glaziers Hall as a greener choice for those seeking venues aligned with their sustainability goals. Let's continue to embrace sustainability together, not just today on #WorldEnvironmentDay but everyday! 🌱 #GlaziersHall #SustainableVenue #Sustainability #UniqueVenue #Events #EventProfs

In the hospitality industry, where guest experience and environmental responsibility are paramount, it's crucial for establishments to evaluate the sustainability of their operations, including bathroom renovations. Bathrooms are key areas in hospitality establishments, and renovations play a crucial role in maintaining guest satisfaction and upholding brand reputation. However, traditional bath renovation methods often come with a significant environmental footprint that hospitality businesses must address. Traditional bath renovation methods typically involve the removal and replacement of old baths with new ones. This process requires the extraction of raw materials, for manufacturing new baths. The production of these materials contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and consumes valuable natural resources, presenting a sustainability challenge for hospitality establishments committed to environmental stewardship. Moreover, the transportation of new baths from manufacturing facilities to hospitality establishments further exacerbates carbon emissions. Additionally, the disposal of old baths in landfills contributes to environmental pollution and resource depletion, posing reputational risks for hospitality businesses striving to be environmentally responsible. Research conducted by environmental organisations highlights the significant carbon footprint associated with traditional bath renovation methods in the hospitality sector. The environmental consequences extend beyond carbon emissions. The extraction of raw materials for bath production can lead to habitat destruction, soil erosion, and water pollution. Additionally, the disposal of old baths in landfills contributes to waste accumulation and landfill space scarcity, posing regulatory compliance challenges for hospitality businesses. In light of these environmental challenges, it is imperative for hospitality establishments to explore more sustainable alternatives to traditional bath renovation methods. One such alternative is carbon-neutral bath resurfacing, offered by companies like Mendabath UK. Carbon-neutral bath resurfacing involves refurbishing existing baths rather than replacing them. This process minimises the need for new materials and reduces waste generation, aligning with sustainability objectives in the hospitality industry. Mendabath UK's resurfacing techniques extend the lifespan of existing baths, providing a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution for hospitality establishments. By embracing carbon-neutral bath resurfacing, hospitality establishments can mitigate their environmental footprint and demonstrate commitment to sustainable business practices.  #MendabathUK #CorporateOffer #Hospitality #BathRestoration #EcoFriendly #Reuse #Recycle #Refurbishment #BathroomRenovation #bathroomrenovation #restore #restoration

Just as things were starting to look like they were kicking into gear again for Scotland’s hospitality industry, I’m worried the wheels are going to come off in our biggest city thanks to a new policy. With Glasgow City Council agreeing to the introduction of increased parking fees and extended hours, due to come into force in April, I can’t help but feel business, and its custom, is not being prioritised. New rules will see paid-for parking in controlled areas extended from 6pm to 10pm, seven days a week. On top of this, charges will increase for the public and workers, as well as residents and businesses with parking permits. New measures are at risk of driving away vital trade from the City Centre, but also other key areas of commerce like the West End, Tradeston and the Barras. Glasgow, too, has potentially set a precedent for other local authority areas across the country looking to fundraise in the absence of a council tax hike, not long after it appeared matters were improving within local economies. To say councilors don’t have their finger on the pulse with this issue is an understatement. In a recent column, just last month, I wrote about how restaurant groups Six by Nico and Buzzworks were giving the industry reasons to be cheerful. Last week I touched on the rise of staycations and new figures from the Moffat Centre at Glasgow Caledonian University and the Association of Scottish Visitor Attractions (ASVA) show visitor numbers to Scotland’s tourist attractions were up 17.2 per cent last year. When it is so clear there is a trend for keeping things local as the overall economic climate bites hard, why are Glasgow City Council implementing policies that, seemingly, look designed to discourage people from entering the city? Namely, in my opinion, the prioritisation of meeting climate targets is the key driver for the introduction of this new edict. Soon off the back of the implementation of a Low Emissions Zone (LEZ) in the City Centre, this latest news further compounds the misery being experienced by restaurants, cafes, pubs and bars across the city. And it’s not just the hospitality and nightlife sectors that will bear the brunt, entertainment venues such as theatres, cinemas, comedy clubs, sporting venues and concert halls will suffer, too. Green policies are all well and good and climate change is something to be taken very seriously, but it feels like changes are being rolled out back to front. Asking people to negate their vehicles in exchange for public transport requires the network to be far more efficient than it currently is. It’s 2024 and it feels like the connect network in Glasgow is stuck in 1984. Orwellian the situation is not, as improvements have been made to the look and feel of the famous Subway circle, ScotRail has updated its fleet many times over the years and electric buses have been a great innovation.
