Knowall IT will help you safeguard your business from modern day threats

Two out three organisations recognise the crucial role that cloud computing plays in the role of their digital transformation. Engaging with cloud computing support is a guaranteed way of decreasing business costs, increasing productivity and out-performing against competitors who are part of the 1/3rd of organisations who are still not yet using the cloud as an integral part of their IT infrastructure. Cloud computing has revolutionised the face of IT across the globe with its versatility and 24/7 accessibility, enabling organisations of all size, to enjoy the cost saving benefits of 100% online access. If, like 2/3rds of organisations, you want to take your business on a digital transformation journey and embrace the future of technology, Knowall IT Support Soho is the managed business partner, which is equipped to facilitate that transition.

Cloud computing has been in use almost since the beginning of the history of computers themselves. In the early 2000’s, as the internet developed from travel blogs, brochures and chat rooms into the social and technological giant, global network of communications that it is today as a result of the creation of the internet. Since that time, what first began with the image of a world wide web has developed into what is now referred to the cloud. What is the cloud really? It’s the image that has been given to society to help them to conceptualise the way in which we are able to gain access to hardware and software that is not physically in front of us.

Simply put, cloud computing is to IT what Uber is to the transportation industry. You need a ride from A to B but you don’t have your own vehicle. You contact Uber and set up someone to collect you and drop you off where you need to be, and you pay the association transportation fee. Similarly, with cloud computing, you pay a fee for the IT infrastructure that you need, when you need it for as long as you need it. It gets your business from A to B, without you having to purchase the whole vehicle. Its available to you at any time, on-demand, without worrying about maintenance, up-keep, running costs or upgrades. Just like Uber, the infrastructure / vehicle is provided to you at the fraction of the cost and you simply pay for what you need, when you need it. While each organisation will experience the benefits differently, the benefits will be experienced immediately as a direct result of having access to the latest servers, applications or operating systems without the mammoth financial commitment on the hardware and software which is required to provide quality IT support.

Knowall IT Support Paddington is an award-winning IT service provider with the capacity to provide your business with high quality cloud and voice services, ensuring access to high performance computing and communications at the fraction of the cost. For the organisation who has not yet invested in this leading edge technology, contact Knowall IT Support Kensington for assistance with building your fully customizable, scalable, bespoke IT environment uniquely suited to elevate your business into the future.

Lodge Brothers – 7 generations of our family have been helping families in their time of need.

Just as the cost of living increases from year to year, the cost of dying is no different. The SunLife cost of dying report for 2021, an annual sector-leading research paper, which has been providing a comprehensive overview of funeral costs since 2004, shows that the cost of funerals has continued to increase on an annual basis. One positive aspect however is that the increase of funeral-related costs has at least slowed down somewhat over the last 2 years.

The same report goes on to explain that the average cost of dying in 2021, depending on where in the UK you live, is £8,864 – that is down 4.3% since 2020.

Funeral costs are rarely included as part of the average family’s annual budget. The Lodge Brothers family of Coroners Woking, offer a variety of cost-effective solutions aimed at assisting families to deal with the costs, which arise when a loved one passes away.

Lodge Brothers Coroners Langley all offer a range of pre-paid for and planned funeral packages, with a suitable budget option for all, all of which are designed to alleviate the inevitable financial and emotional strain which is placed on families when a loved one passes away. What makes the difference is the Lodge Brothers pledge to ensure that there are no hidden extras to surprise you, after all is said and done. Lodge Brothers publishes a full list of all costs attached to funeral planning on their website for full transparency and will provide a detailed quote prior to proceeding with any of the funeral arrangements, so that the families of the deceased know and understand everything that they will be required to pay for.

In the case of pre-planned arrangements, the deceased has already made most of the tough decisions on behalf of their loved ones. In fact, any person who would like to make their funeral wishes known, can use the complimentary service on the website which is kept on file in the event of their demise, so that when their family choses Lodge Brothers Coroners Westminster, all of the hard decisions are already made ahead of time. Using this service does not commit anyone to a funeral plan with Lodge Brothers – it simply ensures that when you loved ones chose Lodge Brothers for funeral arrangements, the wishes of the deceased shared with the family who can then provide the funeral just as you would have, if you had planned it yourself.

Besides being able to rely on our 240 years of experience in the business of assisting families with funerals, when loved ones reach out to Lodge Brothers at their time of need, not only are they ensured of having full sight of what has been arranged and the cost of doing so, but they are also guaranteed many additional extra’s, which other Funeral homes will charge for, at no extra cost. Services such as afterhours attendance, arrangements for family viewings at the chapel of rest, delivery of ashes, additional staff or bearers, access to bereavement support and house calls, all come as part of the full service which you can expect to receive from Lodge Brothers across the UK.

PVC increases the life-span of the marquee indefinitely

Marquee expert-users know that as the summer begins to darken into the cooler season, party and functions begin to become fewer and further between. The industry, which was in full bloom in the months of May, June and July, starts to droop as the month of August ushers in the autumn.  Experts who use DIY marquees also know that there is time to use still as DIY marquees can be used well into the colder months as DIY marquees are designed to ensure longer that the rest. Designed with the weather in mind, any DIY marquee will withstand the damp and the wind, enabling the party to carry on just that much longer than one may expect. As the bell calls for last rounds on other marquee types, DIY has one more last dance to perform and the key is simply due to the superior materials used in the construction of the marquees.

Most popular of all marquees is the 4 x 4, which is both affordable and adaptable. You will always find space to place a 4 x 4 marquee, which means that it can be used in private functions such as home parties where it can be placed on a grassy patch or solid ground such as concrete or driveways, as well as for commercial purposes. Because the marquee is a solid square, setting up the marquee and keeping it up despite the weather, is easily achievable, no matter the terrain. The economic size of the 4m marquee also means that creating adaptable flooring which is easy to lay as well as being inexpensive, is most achievable.

4m x 6m Green PVC Marquee

DIY’s 4m marquee has been the envy of many who have tried to imitate the quality of the marquee, the most popular of which is the Commercial double strength PVC marquee, with its super-strong 42mm steel framework. With quality products in play, one can be forgiven for believing that the cost of the marquee would be significantly higher than others in the market but fact is, the cost of the marquee remains imminently affordable without any sacrifice regarding quality. Such party or commercial 4m marquees are guaranteed to continue to weather the storm for season after season. (Although DIY will never fail to remind customers that there are some conditions, which simply should not be attempted!)

You may ask yourself what is a PVC Marquee. It’s premium 650gsm PCV which is the preferred material as it increases the life-span of the marquee indefinitely, all weather and durable.

So if you are considering a winter wonderland wedding, never fear as we have helpful Wedding Marquee Tips for your perfect day!

With a simple swipe to the left or the right, you can have access to many options that suit your desires. The difference here is the intention behind the connection is specifically more long term or short term and the rest is left to chance, Lady luck or Cupid.

Become a Male escort with Dukes of Daisy and offer the service of companionship as an alternative to these experiences. A Companion Escort Service is when you accompany a woman to any event that she may have to attend or social obligations, such as dinners, work events, a wedding, funerals, birthday and so on. What you have to offer is your time which comes with no strings attached so that the woman you are with is not in a situation where they feel worried or anxious about how the day will end or if they are supposed to do something that they did not intend from the day. Sometimes, people just want companionship to ease a difficult social event and without the pressure of expectations. If this is something that you feel you can offer, then you are the perfect person for the job and Dukes of Daisy is waiting for you to register online to become a male escort! Just as there are many people looking for companionship, Dukes of Daisy is looking for all types of people to join the party and volunteer their time for this purpose. All while making an income at the same time. This is a scenario that comes with no pressure and is what it is from the beginning with no questions asked. What could be easier than escort companion services! Works for everyone!
