Highlight of our members: Andrew Waite & Andrew Cheffings



Andrew Waite:

Impactful Governance is a (Not for profit) Community Interest Company

One of our big shifts this year has been to look at the Governance of organisations to play a crucial part in the environment.

We became an SME Eco Hub during this year and have committed to be net-zero in carbon by 2030.

There is no time to waste so we have developed a tool to help all organisations look at their own consumption through our new “Eco-Office Audit”

www.ig-cic.org.uk



Andrew Cheffings:

I work with professionals who serve others, whose progress in life is blocked by physical symptoms and confusing emotions, making it hard for them to do the fulfilling work they feel passionate about. I help them to unravel the mental worries and heal their symptoms so they can finally make the progress they want in life.

I offer a free introductory session by phone or Zoom in which we can begin to explore the client's difficulties and see if my approach would be a good fit for them. If they want to go further with the treatment, I offer an introductory programme which can lead, if necessary, into a further 3 short programmes exploring different aspects of my healing approach and deepening the process. After completing any of the programmes, the client can opt to buy into a lower level month by month programme which can support the client as they gain confidence to complete their own healing and move forward with their life.

What is the UKCA marking?

 

The UKCA (UK Conformity Assessed) marking is the new UK product marking covering most goods currently subject to the EU’s CE marking. Most manufactured goods will need to use the UKCA marking when placed on the market in Great Britain on or after 1 January 2023.

 

The requirements for the UKCA marking generally mirror those that currently exist for the CE marking. If the CE marking goes on the product or packaging currently, then so can the UKCA marking

 

You can place the UKCA and CE marking on the same product if it is destined for both markets so long as the product meets the relevant regulatory requirements for both markets. 

 

There are different rules for placing goods on the market in Northern Ireland which are detailed in the links and webinars below.

 

Businesses involved in the manufacture, importing and distributing of these goods should take action now to ensure they are compliant with any new rules by the 1 January 2023.

 

Webinar programme on the New UK Regulatory Regime: open for registration

 

The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy is running a series of Webinars on the new UK regulatory regime for goods for businesses.

 

Further guidance is available for businesses

 

·         Guidance on using the UKCA marking

·         Guidance on using the UKNI marking

·         Guidance on placing goods on the market in Great Britain

·         Guidance on placing goods on the market in Northern Ireland

·         A-Z of industry guidance to understand requirements for product types.
