<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">While attention today falls on the EU referendum, 23 June
also marks the third annual staging of National Women in Engineering Day. The
event was initially organised by the Women’s Engineering Society (WES) in 2014 to
celebrate its 95<sup>th</sup> anniversary and recognises the achievements of
female engineers while promoting equality within the industry.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Britain has the lowest ratio of female engineers - just nine
per cent of those in the profession are women, while only one in six
engineering and technology graduates is female according to WES. With
Engineering UK estimating that the number of annual recruits into UK
engineering needs to double by 2020 in order to meet demand, it’s clear that
the shortage of female engineers is exacerbating the well-publicised skills
shortage in the sector.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In its efforts to make industrial processes run as smoothly
as possible and help users to avoid unplanned downtime and costly lost
production, ABB offers remote condition monitoring for its range of
variable-speed drives.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Remote condition monitoring allows users to analyse the

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Government has set a target of doubling British exports
to £1 trillion in the next four years, with manufacturers set to form a

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The plan was announced as over 300 UK manufacturers were
addressed by Lord Price CVO (Minister of State for Trade and Investment) and
Lord Bilimoria of Chelsea CBE, DL at an International Festival for Business
conference arranged by EEF, the manufacturers’ organisation. The Government has
committed to having an extra 100,000 businesses exporting by 2020 as it looks
to strengthen the UK’s position in the global economy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Public funding made available for the implementation of
energy-efficiency measures in the UK rose from €330 million to €440 million
(£260 million to £350 million) between 2012 and 2014, according to research
from leading energy consultancy Ecofys.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The study found that the majority of funding that yielded
this 35 per cent rise was provided under Climate Change Agreements, while other
sources included the Green Deal and RE:FIT programme.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Following publication of the figures, the European Council
for an Energy Efficient Economy (ECEEE) expressed concerns that “many
investments which would make economic sense are still not realised” and that
more must be done to “ensure that the legislative framework encourages these
opportunities.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In short, the message is that, while such an increase in
funding for energy-efficiency measures is positive, there is still great
potential for increasing energy efficiency.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The manufacturing sector relies heavily on <a href="http://www.gibbonsgroup.co.uk/electric-motors"><b>electric motors</b></a> to
power equipment such as conveyors, pumps, mixers, extruders and more. As well
as upgrading motors to the latest IE3 and IE4 models, users can significantly
increase energy efficiency by installing <a href="http://www.gibbonsgroup.co.uk/abb-variable-speed-drives"><b>variable-speed
drives</b></a> in their process. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">VSDs enable electric motor speed to be precisely controlled,
meaning motor-driven processes consume only as much energy as is required to
run at a given time. In applications where speed demand varies throughout the
process, VSDs are an invaluable solution for minimising energy consumption and
significantly reducing running costs. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is hoped that a long-awaited update to the BB101 standard

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The final consultations for BB101 (2016) have now been

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Outside air pollution means that, in many cases, properly
ventilating a school building requires a mechanical heating, ventilation and
air-conditioning (HVAC) system. However, maintenance of these systems is often
overlooked which can lead to the introduction of mould, bacteria and viruses.
Such contaminants can be transferred into classrooms and other communal areas
via the airstream and may jeopardise the wellbeing of students and teachers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Small to medium-sized businesses (SMEs) could achieve return
on investment within just one and a half years when implementing
energy-efficiency measure, according to a recent study from financial solutions
provider DLL.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The research was quoted in an <i>Electrical Review</i> article (‘Should ESOS be viewed as more than red
tape but the prompt to a green future?’ - June 2016) that explained the need
for businesses to see programmes such as the Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme
(ESOS) as pathways to saving money and a more efficient future rather than
mandatory legislation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The article highlights the fact that potential energy
savings of up to 25 per cent can be put to use in other operational areas
within SMEs, while savings will be magnified for larger businesses with
multiple premises.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">With fuel prices in the UK set to rise by 2020 according to
government forecasts, SMEs are encouraged to get ahead of the game by
implementing energy-efficiency measures now. The first place to target is
commonly <a href="http://www.gibbonsgroup.co.uk/electric-motors"><b>electric motor</b></a>-driven
processes such as conveyors, mixers, pumps, fans and compressors, as these
account for around 60 per cent of the UK’s industrial energy consumption.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As well as upgrading electric motors and the driven
equipment to the most energy-efficient models, users can add <a href="http://www.gibbonsgroup.co.uk/abb-variable-speed-drives"><b>variable-speed
drives</b></a> (VSDs) to their process. These devices allow electric motor speed to
be accurately controlled, meaning only the amount of energy required by the
process at any given time is consumed. VSDs are perfect for applications such
as conveyor systems within food and beverage production where different running
speeds are required during various phases of the process.<span style="background: black; border: 1pt none black; font-size: 0pt; line-height: 107%; padding: 0cm;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Almost half of senior decision makers within small to
medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are concerned about the amount of money they
spend on energy, according to research from the Carbon Trust.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The study formed part of <a href="http://www.gibbonsgroup.co.uk/blog/2016/04/7-million-fund-to-help-small-businesses-become-more-energy-efficient"><b>a
recent announcement from the Trust</b></a> regarding a £7 million fund to help SMEs
in England, Scotland and Wales fund energy-efficiency improvements.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The research also found that more than a third (37 per cent)
of businesses are keen to take action to improve the energy efficiency of their
operations, although almost a quarter (23 per cent) cited lack of money and
affordable options as barriers to improving energy efficiency.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The £7 million Carbon Trust fund will help SMEs to overcome
these obstacles, so if you’re concerned about your company’s energy costs –
particularly at a time when prices are unpredictable – then it’s time to claim
your share.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The fund can be put towards investing in the installation
and upgrade of <b><a href="http://www.gibbonsgroup.co.uk/hvac-services">heating,
ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) equipment</a>.</b> By improving the
efficiency and reliability of HVAC systems, users can reduce running and

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The UK manufacturing sector is worth as much as £208
billion, according to research from Cranfield University. The study also found
that manufacturing accounts for up to 13.5 per cent of the UK’s economy,
despite domestic manufacturing experiencing uncertainty in the wake of 20,000
job losses in the last three months.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The value of the UK manufacturing sector means that
maintaining current levels of productivity requires investment in the purchase
and maintenance of energy-efficient machinery.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.gibbonsgroup.co.uk/electric-motors"><b>Electric
motor</b></a>-powered processes make up two thirds of industrial electricity
consumption worldwide, so it’s clear that upgrading to the most
energy-efficient motors will reduce long-term costs while yielding a quick
return on investment.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Adding <a href="http://www.gibbonsgroup.co.uk/abb-variable-speed-drives"><b>variable-speed
drives</b></a> to motor-driven applications such as conveyors, pumps and mixers
means manufacturers can achieve energy savings of as much as 60 per cent. Not

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There are many sectors that benefit from the comprehensive
Gibbons range of products and services – industrial, agricultural,
pharmaceutical, commercial to name just a few. However, the food and beverage industry
utilises just about everything we offer, and considering we operate 10
divisions, that’s some feat!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We have long-standing relationships with some of the biggest
food and beverage producers in East Anglia and the rest of the UK, including
dairies, maltsters and confectioners. We’ve maintained these strong links by
supplying high-quality, energy-efficient equipment backed up by dedicated
service and expert technical knowledge.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Almost half a century
of service to the agricultural sector means we’re well aware that harvest is one
of the busiest times of the year for farmers. We also understand that the
proper storage and protection of grain is essential for maintaining quality and
preventing costly claims and rejections.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Consistent, reliable
grain store ventilation is crucial for ensuring temperatures remain below 15°C,
above which condensation may occur and insects and mites can appear. A lack of
proper aeration can compromise crop quality and turn already tight margins into
a deficit.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For peace of mind,
have your grain store fans serviced in plenty of time for harvest by an expert
provider such as Gibbons Engineering Group, based in Tollesbury, Essex. We’re a
family-run firm that has worked with East Anglian farmers for decades, fitting
and maintaining energy-efficient <a href="http://www.gibbonsgroup.co.uk/hvac-services"><b>fans</b></a> and<b> <a href="http://www.gibbonsgroup.co.uk/panel-building">control panels</a></b> in
