Verifone's contactless payment solution was awarded with "The Payment Solution" award at the European Retail Solutions Awards 2008. The award was jointly given to sandwich retailer EAT and solution providers Verifone, Commidea and Common Sense EPoS for installing a fully integrated contactless payment system within the UK retail environment.
The award-winning integrated solution uses a Verifone Vx 510 countertop payment system that runs Commidea's pre-certified Ocius software combined with VeriFone's contactless reader. Using this solution, customers at EAT could choose the payment option that suited them best: cash, contactless card or Chip and PIN. For contactless transactions less than GBP10, customers could pay with just a wave of the card against the reader, thus taking less than a second for the entire process.
Overall, the new solution resulted in considerable time savings for patrons at the retail outlet, one of the reasons that made the solution popular and noteworthy for the award.

Portakabin, a leading provider of modular buildings and both temporary and permanent accommodation solutions in the UK, has delivered a relocatable classroom accommodation for a major upgrade and rebuilding programme in Northumberlands schools for GB Building Solutions.
The relocatability and high-quality of the Portakabin buildings were cited as the key factors for the award of the project.
The 64m² Portakabin classrooms buildings exceed DfES size guidelines. These buildings can be operational within a few hours of their arrival on-site, thus causing minimal disruption to the school proceedings. The classrooms come equipped with four toilet facilities, including a disabled cubicle; moreover, there is sufficient space provided in the lobby areas of the classroom for children to hang their belongings. The designs are such that the classrooms have good ventilation, high level of natural light and considerable energy efficiency.
Another key benefit of Portakabins is that the classrooms were delivered on site fully fitted with the requisite electrical and plumbing work, which reduced the need for additional labor on the site.

Showing Amdegas contemporary range of conservatories, Amdega has launched a series of summerhouses. Designs for these houses suit various styles and sizes of gardens with the ability to be positioned in the sun or shade. Interestingly, models that can be rotated to follow the sun through out the day are also available.
The summerhouses are made from durable, high-quality timber that can be stained or painted to suit any garden audience. A key feature is the attention to detail with traditional leaded glass; internal side frames are lined with exterior-quality oak veneer and externally clad with Western Red Cedar wood to continue with the upmarket finishing of the buildings. Floors are solid timber and roof shingles are made from Cedar wood, which over time, mellows to a soft hue to reflect the subtlety of an English garden.
