So, as a start, we’ve decided to implement a series of training programms in the IT technology that we use in order to allow us to deal with things more quickly & efficiently which will not only benefit our customers, but also ourselves.

Sam is the first “under the cosh” and is today looking at some basic PC skills (including blogging!) and the intricacies of Outlook; later in the month, she’ll be updating her Word skills & then it’s Eddy & Dorothy’s turn.

We’re receiving the training on a one-to-one basis from Colin Foster of Universal Solutions 4 Business who came highly recomended by our web designers – AsOne
. We’re using Colin’s company as he was prepared to personalise the training to exactly what we needed, rather than selling us a standard “off the shelf” course.

We’ll then be following this up with more Microsoft, Sage & ACT training

The Rob Austin Racing Team is highly professional and skilled and needs high quality products to make sure that they get the best out of their engines. Rob Austin was not only a racer but also motorsports lover, that is why he created his own racing team in 2005. They have been running since then in different championships around the UK and the rest of Europe. They are currently running up for the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) and have been racing in Thruxton last weekend with their Audi A4 Racer. This car has been equipped with our reflective heat shield tape that the team fitted on electrical cables around the engine’s turbo.

However, the team could only show off their racing skills during the first of three races. They indeed suffered some technical problems with their engine, forcing them to stop. At least, this incident brought us some pretty neat looking pictures!

But don’t worry! The team is now preparing for the next race at the Oulton Park Island circuit on the 5th of June, and they will without doubt be ready more than ever to excel their performance!
Keep an eye out for more information about the Rob Austin Racing Team. We are pretty sure that only the best can come out from this new partnership!

We are pleased to see that Andy finished to apply the exhaust wrap we have provided him with on his motorcycle. Andy is using our G-Force exhaust wrap which is a graphite impregnated heat cleaned wrap. It is designed to widstand constant high level temperatures (up to 550°C) while increasing the perfomance of the motorcycle’s engine. These features might come in very useful when Andy will be riding his motorcycle accross Syria where temperatures can reach 40°C under sunlight!

At 23 years old, this young man from Slough, Berkshire in the west of London is indeed off to a great adventure throughout Europe. Aiming to Syria where he wishes to spend 2 to 3 months, Andy plans to travel across Europe and a part of Middle East with his backpack and riding his motorcycle, a customised XT660 (see picture). Andy already had an aborted first try 5 years earlier that had to end in Albania due to low finances and some bad planning issues. But this time is the right one! “Now I’m 23, graduated, have an ‘appropriate’ bike and have been planning and researching for the past 7 months so I have to go”, says Andy and then adding, “No matter what.”

His plan is to ride straight to Slovakia, then go through Romania and Bulgaria to reach Turkey and follow the Coast from there to end his challenging trip in Syria. The whole ride should last around 2 to 3 weeks.

Of course, as Andy said himself, the preparation of the entire journey took months and that is because Andy is a far-sighted person! To ride on such long distances, security is also a matter of having the right equipment to be sure that one’s bike will not break down halfway to the destination. This is when Andy came to us to provide him with our best heat protective exhaust wraps and heat reflective tapes. He did not want to lose on his performance while protecting his valuable engine parts. Since the temperature in Syria can rise above 40°C, the exhaust wrap has to be extremely resistant to support the constant high temperature a motorcycle engine is likely to emit.

Andy is now on the process to add the final details to the customisation of his bike and will be ready to ride safely by the end of June. He plans to start his trip in the beginning of July at the latest. Leaving us with dreams of exotic landscapes and cultures, Andy will certainly make to most out of this amazing journey through the ‘old continent’!

We will be keeping a close eye on Andy’s great adventure so be sure to stay tuned for updates on the evolution of his motorbike and his travel!
