POST is the leading insurance publication in the UK and voice of the industry. Known as late-adopters, the insurance market had been slow to embrace the world of social media until the British Insurance Brokers’ Association (BIBA) conference earlier this year. The use of the hashtag #biba2011 by attendees sparked unprecedented interest in the conference. Delegates tweeted (the name given to the 140 maximum character posts) in real time giving a true flavour of the conference and encouraging debate both on and off-line.

Mr Done has already forged strong relationships with insurance brokers and other key figures as a direct result of tweeting: “Whatever industry you’re working in you have to embrace social media, it’s just too powerful to ignore. I’m still getting to grips with understanding how best to leverage the time I spend on social media. As such, I consider myself very much a novice and feel I still have so much to learn, so to be recognised as one of the top users in the insurance industry is quite staggering!”, explained Mr Done.

The Revival Company has announced a huge increase in turnover as a result of floods caused mainly from burst pipes.

Technical Manager Simon Walker explained:

“Our current level of instructions – received mainly from insurers – for the period November ’10 to January ’11 is 65% more than the same period in 2010. This is due in part to the coldest December on record leading to a massive increase in burst pipes and the subsequent damage caused by flooding.”

Director of Operations, Jim Herrington, added:

“Whilst the increase in business is very good for us, we recognise that this can be a very traumatic time for our customers. For this reason, we have as a company always placed great importance on training our staff how to deal sensitively with these sorts of situations.

Our local Manager, Aldrin Adams commented, “Although there has been disruption to the local roads it has been possible to respond to our clients needs.”

Bodmin, Luxulyan, Lostwithiel, Mevagissey, Par, St Austell, St Blazey and St Blazey Gate have been affected.

An Environment Agency spokesman told the BBC: “This is a serious incident and our thoughts are with those people whose homes have flooded.

“The Environment Agency has deployed teams to check river flood defences and to assist emergency services with the recovery process.”

Managing Director, Graham Orriss commented “AREPA UK has won numerous opportunities to demonstrate it’s abilities with structural, technical and mechanical restoration with fantastic effect.

Our unique strength in this market is the fact that we have experienced people heading up our commercial project management teams. The jobs we attend require detailed assessment of cost, health and safety implications, project timescales and projected outcomes, as well as constant management of ongoing work. Indeed, there have been incidents where a detailed understanding of the affected equipment has saved considerable time and money for both insurer and insured.”

Andrew Areoff, Chairman of the Judges said:

“Rentokil, in partnership with Revival Environmental have developed Entotherm, a significant advancement in the treatment and eradication of insect pests. This new chemical-free pest control process kills every lifecycle stage of an insect, from eggs to larvae, to fully- grown creatures, making it a more efficient way to treat infestations. Unlike Enthotherm, conventional chemical spray treatments normally need to be repeated several times and can fail to reach insects living in wall cavities or crevices. The judges consider this heat based treatment to be a major step forward in pest control and applaud the way Rentokil and Revival Environmental, have worked together to develop the treatment and bring this innovation to market.”

In March 2010, and following three years of research and extensive testing, Rentokil Pest Control, in partnership with Revival Environmental (part of The Revival Group), announced the new chemical-free pest control process, ‘Entotherm’. The treatment is quick, efficient to apply, and reaches all areas of infestation. The process uses the Revival Hydrothermic Drying System to eliminate pests such as cockroaches, bed bugs and pharaoh ants.

The Revival Company is the UK’s leading authority on the use of heat treatment to restore flood damaged buildings. The process is usually quicker and more cost effective than more traditional approaches, which favour rebuilding over restoration. They have the largest number of drying systems in Europe and the ability to deploy technicians quickly to site. The Revival Hydrothermic Drying Systems were used extensively in the recent Cockermouth flooding and ensured that ‘business as usual’ was quickly resumed.
