Remember...all those businesses we supported over those 5 years would be perfectly welcome approaching our current programme for follow up efficiency projects and more general business development if you're in the 'green arena'. LoCASE is more flexible than you may think!

Further to whispers that the team are back in the saddle, considerable ERDF funding has now been secured for delivery of an exciting new initiative to follow on from the good work of LCB. The Low Carbon Across the South East (LoCASE) programme is a partnership between Kent County Council, Thurrock Council, Essex County Council, East Sussex County Council, Southend-on-Sea Borough Council and the University of Brighton and seeks to deliver consistent, accessible business support across the entire SELEP region. The offerings (including a grants strand up to £10K)seek to optimise the use of eco-innovative and low carbon solutions in ways that improve business performance through increased profitability, competitiveness and resilience. For more information please contact the team at Low Carbon Kent or Thurrock Council.

Right, that really is it now. We've been 'closing down' for long enough, the boy cries 'wolf' no more...on top of the scores of local small businesses we've helped with workshops, start-ups we've helped with training/websites, apprentices we've helped find employment, suppliers we've help with turnover and projects we've helped design and make viable, that's it for now. Fingers crossed something arrives in our stead later in the year but the delivery team's time has been called so goodbye all. *Turns off lights, turns sign over to 'closed' and locks the door behind him*

One of our last grant awards at the back end of last year and (other than dropping into Clive at Eversden Jewellers in Benfleet to see his lovely new LED lighting...great on a hot day like this!) the last visit your humble author paid was for a run-through of the impacts of assisting Surface Development & Engineering with ERDF funding towards some new photogrammetry equipment. Intrigued? Well it can be used in a myriad of ways from all levels of product design, assessing manufacturing accuracy, fault-finding, reverse engineering, computer simulation and even modelling... the vast majority saving them and their clients a good deal of valuable resource. See, it wasn't all lighting and boilers. Keep alert to the benefits of having another look at your operations.

Congratulations to Tristan and his team at Cairnsworths Deli and Tearooms on a wonderful example of breathing new life into an old building with the opening of this community resource in Little Waltham. Despite the limitations that come from being in a conservation area, they have done wonders with the layout, all lighting is LED, much of their fare is local, they've created welcome employment and they even managed to sink a 1500 litre attentuation tank to run an irrigation system for the herb garden from captured rainwater. Good work, glad to be of help with £9,387.98 of ERDF grant funding!
