Fitting Sign 32

We work hard for our safety record, and sometimes fitting signs can be a challenge especially in areas where people are still walking and moving around. Times can be demanding so that signs must be fitted before people start work, or in this case here, in a place that is difficult to get to.

The scaffolding is erected carefully, avoiding damage to the area, but with safety in mind. Other pictures from this series show the scaffolding being put up and from other directions but this picture shows it in situ when the job has been finished and the vertical is in place.

Notice that the area immediately around the scaffolding is marked off with tape and bollards, to ensure passers-by do not hit the scaffolding or injure themselves, or put themselves in any danger.

Is Twitter Overrated for a Small Business?

2010 Mar 9

I won’t say that is wonderful, sing it’s praises and use nothing else, just for the sake of it. I’ll just say that with such a large audience, it’s an audience that a small business should consider taking advantage of.

Persuading management of the virtues of Twitter might be difficult in many cases, but luckily here at GRS, management listens to what others have to say. Looking at new technologies as opportunities is a good sign (forgive the pun). I might draw the line at Facebook or MySpace for us though…

Given that Twitter seems to be more of a social diatribe of a personal nature rather than a business nature, does make it less attractive. After all, it’s only worthwhile if it generates business, or at least generates traffic/interest in us/our website.

Currently we are using it to announce blog posts and website updates, rather than as an engagement tool for conversation. It seems the best policy for us at the moment, but if anyone has ideas, we are open to them!
