Another Website Launched, Another Happy Client, Yay!

For over 20 years, our business has grown by referral and recommendation. Our most recent 'website-requiring' client, Estacchini Architects, contacted us based on the website we produced for a similar company in the area. We developed this CMS* website for the Hertfordshire-based architect who has worked on buildings in a number of countries.

Visit the website's portfolio page to see projects in London, Milan, Athens and Singapore.

*CMS stands for Content Management System and enables website owners with some basic internet skills and word-processing knowledge to add, edit and update the general content - including images - on their website. Anyone who has used WordPress to write a blog will feel instantly comfortable with our WordPress-based CMS websites.

We are working to launch our own redeveloped website before the end of the year. Follow The BPc on Twitter to be amongst the first to know!

Assistance to help the Elderly and Disabled

Amongst our clients are three established, family-run businesses whose products and services are aimed at helping less able customers, whether at home or in care.

Whether you need to find a comfy chair that enables you or a relative to relax and stand up again with minimal effort or if you need to find a company that can install gantry systems or regenerate a family bathroom for disabled use, one of our clients has it covered.

They are all based around the London/Home Counties area and cover much of the South midlands and south of England. All three companies are experienced in their fields and can offer excellent advice.

Classic Mobility is a service company for scooters, power-chairs, power-beds, bath-hoists, gantry systems and other equipment that requires regular servicing, maintenance and ad-hoc repairs. They also supply equipment such as riser-recliner chairs, power-wheelchairs, mobility scooters, adjustable care beds and 'moving and handling' equipment plus batteries and other mobility supplies and accessories including walking frames, rollators, daily consumables and more.

Herts and London stair lifts also runs Mobility Rentals - long term equipment rental such as mobility scooters for individuals who don't want to buy and specialist equipment for care homes and nursing homes who are managing their cash flow - care beds, patient hoists, etc.

Practical Bathing advises, supplies and installs a range of equipment in flats, houses, care homes, clinics - wherever special toileting or bathing facilities are needed. These include walk-in baths, sit-in showers, wheel-chair showers, bio-bidet and 'big john', part of the bariatric equipment range and more.

New Website Launched for Herts-based HR Services Consultant

Our client, Eyekon Consultants, wanted their old website modernised with a focus on their Human Resource Services and the website content to be up-dateable in-house.

Director of HR Services, Sue, provided the written content and images then we built and delivered an optimised WordPress-based website.
Sue was a delight to work with and the website design and build was completed in a moderate time-frame, ready for hand-over.

Stairlifts in Hertfordshire and London

Stairlifts can change the lives of people who no longer manage stairs with ease. We are currently working with a stair-lift company that operates mainly in the Hertfordshire and North London areas. They have years of experience supplying services and goods to customers who have physical disabilities and a desire for independence.

An elderly person who has spent their whole life in a Victorian cottage may be better off with friends and neighbours nearby than moving to purpose-built sheltered accommodation a mile away. Once a stair-lift is installed, that person may continue to be independent for many years.

Solutions vary as there is no one-size-fits-all-stairs stair-lift. Stairlifts can be installed for spiral stairs, winding stairs, 'dog-leg' and other shapes and sizes. There is also an all-weather stairlift suitable for outside stairs.

New Website for Client: Erasure, Destruction or Recovery of IT Data

Ta-Da! Announcing A New Website...

We have completed and launched a new website for our client, Ultratec Ltd., Letchworth, Hertfordshire, a company that specialises in data recovery and total destruction of data beyond all recovery!

IT Data Storage Device

Here at The BPc, we're hoping that Ultratec's clients won't need both these services in the destroy-first-recover-later sequence because that can't be done. To recover data from a faulty storage device or from a perfectly fine hard disk or tape that cannot be accessed is a fairly obvious requirement but who would want to ensure that data is totally destroyed? Well, to prevent sensitive information getting into the wrong hands, almost everybody.

Totally Destroyed Data Device

Information is stored on all sorts of devices, including photocopiers and printers as well as mobile phones, computers and USB sticks. Before these are discarded, there is a duty of care to protect sensitive data. This is a particular issue for government and military departments who may have top secret information stored. Not only will Ultratec ensure that data is erased but that the storage components are reduced to minute fragments, impossible to reconstruct.

If you need to comply with the Data Protection Act or help prevent identity theft, you need a secure data destruction service, visit www.ultratec.co.uk

Contemporary, Chic, Practical Bath/Shower options

At last, the practical aspects of easy access baths-with-showers has led to designs that we would actually want in our bathrooms. Until recently, the largest market for baths with doors was the very elderly plus disabled people who relied on such equipment and were forced to pay a premium. Whilst this is still true to some extent, there is a realisation by companies that clients demand and deserve better.

Often, there is a logistics issue with putting a traditional bath and a walk-in shower in a family bathroom therefore it is commonplace to find baths with shower enclosures. Getting in to the bath or shower is not too bad but getting out again, once there is a wet slippery surface to negotiate, is more difficult. Fully fit adults are cautious - what about those with sports injuries, back pain, a touch of arthritis, etc?

Statistics show that people prefer to walk out of a shower rather than climb out of a bath but many people want to keep a bath and don't have room for both, therefore the compromise is made to have a bath with shower. We've just been waiting for the ultimate practical bath-shower unit and, finally, we have a choice.
