<p>At his leaving presentation today at the office, David Knight thanked him for all his work over the last four years he has been with the company.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Richard was instrumental in successfully introducing the then new, handheld PDA's into our system, which have improved customer service by speeding up communicarion between our field engineers and the office.</p>
<p>We all wish him and his girlfriend every success and happiness in the future.</p>]]></content></entry><entry><title>Office refurbishments</title><category term="Office"/><category term="SCM"/><id>http://www.southerncare.co.uk/newsblog/2010/2/10/office-refurbishments.html</id><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.southerncare.co.uk/newsblog/2010/2/10/office-refurbishments.html"/><author><name>Southern Care Maintenance</name></author><published>2010-02-10T22:00:58Z</published><updated>2010-02-10T22:00:58Z</updated><content type="html" xml:lang="en-GB"><![CDATA[<p><span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><img style="width: 600px;" src="http://www.southerncare.co.uk/storage/photooffice.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1278693950005" alt="" /></span></span>During the winter months and in between the snow, we have been undergoing some changes to our offices and warehouse to accommodate the additional staff and equipment we have taken on for the new Nursing Equipment division.</p>
<p>So apologies for any unusal noises you may have heard on the phone when ringing us!</p>
<p>We are aiming to have most of the work finished by the end of March 2010, which should provide us all with a more comfortable and efficient working environment.</p>]]></content></entry><entry><title>Snow, snow &amp; more snow!</title><category term="SCM"/><category term="Snow"/><category term="Travel"/><id>http://www.southerncare.co.uk/newsblog/2010/1/7/snow-snow-more-snow.html</id><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.southerncare.co.uk/newsblog/2010/1/7/snow-snow-more-snow.html"/><author><name>Southern Care Maintenance</name></author><published>2010-01-07T16:04:56Z</published><updated>2010-01-07T16:04:56Z</updated><content type="html" xml:lang="en-GB"><![CDATA[<p><span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://www.southerncare.co.uk/storage/scm_snowed_car.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1262881055138" alt="" /></span></span>Well, it's not been a great start to 2010 and the new decade for a Service &amp; Maintenance Company.</p>
<p>Like most other businesses in the South-East our services have been badly disrupted by freezing temperatutes and 7-8 inches of snow over the last few days.</p>
<p>We have had staff unable to get into the office and engineers with vehicles getting stuck at the road side in the atrocious driving conditions we have had over the last few days.</p>
<p>We are working our way as best we can through a back log of calls &amp; would like to thank customers for being patient.</p>
<p>Normal service will be resumed as soon as the weather returns to normal!</p>]]></content></entry><entry><title>Southern Care Maintenance new website</title><category term="SCM"/><category term="Web site"/><id>http://www.southerncare.co.uk/newsblog/2009/9/28/southern-care-maintenance-new-website.html</id><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.southerncare.co.uk/newsblog/2009/9/28/southern-care-maintenance-new-website.html"/><author><name>Southern Care Maintenance</name></author><published>2009-09-28T15:12:00Z</published><updated>2009-09-28T15:12:00Z</updated><content type="html" xml:lang="en-GB"><![CDATA[<p>We are pleased to say that after many weeks work our new website has been published today along with our new logo and branding on schedule before the end of September 2009.</p>
