Best Home Hire Sunbed Company 2024 - Northern Ireland A glowing tan not only helps us to look healthy, but it makes us feel good too, and if you can’t get to a sunny destination, why not bring the sun to you in the form of a home hire sunbed? We speak to Martin Tierney of Riviera Tanning as the firm gains notable recognition in the UK Enterprise Awards 2024. Now you can get the perfect tan all year round! Whilst many consider home tanning to be a thing of the 1980s, the truth is, the home hire tan business is booming! There is a definite increase in demand for home hire sunbeds, particularly since the Covid-19 pandemic, as more and more people choose to tan in the comfort and safety of their own homes. Based in Derry/Londonderry, Riviera Tanning is at the forefront of the tanning industry in Northern Ireland with more than 30 years’ worth of experience, along with the largest home hire fleet of equipment in the country and beds that are unique to the firm and not available elsewhere. The one-of-a-kind R9, a 24-lamp stand-up sunbed made exclusively for Riviera Tanning, is the latest addition to the fleet of stand ups, lie downs, and canopies that the firm can offer out to clients on a supply on demand basis. This bespoke sunbed has many premium features which make it a firm favourite at Riviera Tanning, including 230 watt tanning lamps, a 12-inch cooling fan, ceiling handles, 360-degree tanning, and it can provide a super-fast tan in just four minutes. Not only does Riviera Tanning have the biggest and best range available, but the company also cares about its clientele, always going that extra mile to ensure complete customer satisfaction. “We strive to give our customers the best service possible,” elaborates Martin Tierney, the firm’s Managing Director. “We make sure all our beds are perfect for tanning and we have a booking service that is open 24 hours a day. “We also only hire those with good people skills, who are polite and able to advise customers on using the sunbeds. Our staff also need a tidy appearance as they will be going into people’s homes.” Not only this, but Martin and the team also supply goggles for eye protection, plus all delivery men are experienced, trained electricians and tanning specialists and will answer any questions on site about the products, equipment, or safety. All home hire packages come with full instructions on safety, usage times, plus a full demonstration too, along with free delivery to customers’ houses. Recently, in recognition of the dedicated service and comprehensive range of tanning equipment available, Riviera Tanning clinched the desirable title of Best Home Hire Sunbed Company 2024 - Northern Ireland. So, what does Martin believe will facilitate future growth for the business? More of the same quality products and exemplary service that customers known and love! “Riviera will be increasing the number of sunbeds to an even bigger number,” he enthuses. “And we are also considering starting to franchise the business, too.” Contact: Martin Tierney Company: Riviera Tanning Website: https://rivieratanning.co.uk/

SME UK Enterprise Awards 2024/ 14 Best ERP Software Company 2024 In the field of enterprise resource planning, or ERP, one software company is distinguished from the rest, this being Scotland’s ProScope. ProScope is a construction project management application native to cloud-based business management platform NetSuite, with the app harnessing the platform’s extreme power to tackle complex project management challenges. A proud member of the SuiteCloud Developer Network (SDN), ProScope also bears the “Built for NetSuite” status, underpinning its leading5 position in this space. We catch up with Marketing Manager Kerry Myers for more. To understand why more than 1,400 users across the global construction, renewables, and oil and gas industries today rely on ProScope, it pays to go back to the beginning. ProScope was developed by Cooper Software, a leading NetSuite Alliance partner which has spent the better part of two decades excelling across the ERP landscape. The man responsible for ProScope, Dean Gardner, had noticed first hand that companies operating in the above sectors were frustrated with the lack of solutions supporting their project-centric operations. It was ultimately this, combined with his extensive experience in software development, which drew Dean, along with the wider Cooper Software development team to create the software, to put an end to this frustration once and for all. After spending two weeks at his kitchen table crafting an application for payment system that revolved around solving the specific pain points of projects, the humble beginnings of the solution that would ultimately grow into ProScope was ready to go. Four years later, the ProScope team has expanded to include more than 35 talented staff. Across every stage of a product’s lifecycle, ProScope’s innovative nature comes to light, providing unique project management functionality that is certain to offer a user clearer information and a greater sense of control. Thus, in essence, ProScope empowers businesses to manage their entire operations effectively using NetSuite, the world’s leading cloud-based solution of this kind. As Kerry puts it, “it is no longer a choice between world-class finance and industry-leading operations software - you can have both in NetSuite with ProScope.” Offering seamless execution with minimal risk, the ability to manage numerous subsidiaries, and a unique modular approach, ProScope sees complex project reporting made simple, removing the need for numerous systems and bringing functionality seamlessly into one all-round construction project management software. This underpins ProScope’s commitment to its clients, a pledge that is doubled down upon across the company’s values, comprised of teamwork, trust, high performance, and continuous improvement. Very much taking a proactive approach to upholding these values, ProScope seeks to remain ahead of the curve in the project management sphere by integrating the latest in leading-edge technologies into its platform. Being intertwined with NetSuite has helped considerably with this, as the platform’s size and stature means that ProScope is constantly aligned with the game-changing advancements that further this sector. Then there is the company’s own development team, comprised of individuals dedicated to addressing evolving client needs. At its core, it is the blending of its smooth NetSuite integration and the holistic view it takes to construction project management that distinguishes ProScope from other like-minded companies. Kerry explains it best, detailing that utilising ProScope, “enables clients to make informed decisions swiftly, reducing risk and enhancing project profitability.” With ProScope, those operating in the construction, renewables, and oil and gas industries are afforded a platform to help them traverse the changing landscapes of these diverse sectors. Whilst these sectors may have their differences, they share many of the same trends that are defining broader industry today, such as the increased adoption of digital tools to enhance the efficiency of projects and reduce costs, or the shift towards sustainable practice, something that is particularly prominent in the renewable energy sector. Digital tools like ProScope are great for managing a project’s energy use, waste, and other environmental impacts, as well as enhancing project financials. Determined to improve in these areas on an ongoing basis, ProScope’s client-centric approach sees it gather feedback from users and act on its findings, allowing it to live up to its promise of offering solutions that are wholly tailored and meet the needs and challenges of clients. Although it may be based in the UK, the company’s team and partner network is global, and so too is its influence. The company is incredibly proud of the fact that its software enjoys global use, a testament to its nextgeneration status. “We offer comprehensive enablement and support programmes to ensure our clients can fully leverage the capabilities of ProScope. This commitment to client success is a cornerstone of our business philosophy.” As for how the UK benefits from ProScope’s project management software, Kerry tells us, “ProScope contributes to the UK’s reputation as a hub of innovation by developing cutting-edge project management solutions that address the needs of complex industries. We follow this by supporting sustainability in project management, which not only helps UK businesses to improve, but also has a global relevance.” By offering partner businesses these tools, ProScope empowers them to increase their competitiveness, fuelling national growth. Undertaking such a complex task requires the loyalty and dedication of an expert team, which is something that ProScope luckily possesses. When it comes to building this team, innovation, creativity, technical expertise, and flexibility are the four key components, but other qualities sought out include somebody that is able to fit in with the company’s culture, an individual who possesses experience and potential in equal measure, as well as someone whose diverse perspective will elevate an already varied workforce. In return for their unwavering commitment to the firm, employees are rewarded with opportunities for ongoing training and development, the chance to advance their career and try their hand at different roles within the business, as well as gaining access to what is an incredibly supportive and collaborative working environment where everyone is looked out for and spurred on. For Kerry, “by focusing on these areas, ProScope not only maintains a strong and capable team but also ensures that our employees are continuously growing.” Continuous growth is also the definitive plan for the future of ProScope, with a number of projects set to materialise over the next year that will see the software enhanced, and even more highly requested features rolled out. Kerry explains, “we are particularly excited about the development of FormScope, which will address the full lifecycle of risk, quality, health, safety, security, and environment (RQHSSE) management.”
Underpinning this whole operation is of course ProScope’s unwavering dedication to NetSuite and its wider ecosystem. Shedding further light on this, Kerry tells us, “by collaborating with the broader NetSuite ecosystem, we can integrate the best practices, share knowledge, and develop innovative solutions that benefit all parties involved. This partnership allows us to stay at the forefront of industry developments and ensure that our software aligns seamlessly with NetSuite’s latest features and functionalities.” Not only is ProScope a beacon of excellence in the field of construction project management software, but it is also a forward-thinking company with an ethos that aligns perfectly with the future of the industries that it serves. For its ongoing commitment to the cause, sustained excellence, and commitment to innovation and solving problems in this sphere, ProScope is more than deserving of being named as the Best ERP Software Company 2024.

SME UK Enterprise Awards 2024/ 16 Based in Shropshire, independent transport company, S Edwards Ltd provides solutions to all transport problems with its comprehensive services. Priding itself on being fast, efficient, and delivering complete customer satisfaction each and every time, S Edwards Ltd recently gained notable recognition for its stellar work and commitment in the UK Enterprise Awards 2024. We speak to the company founder and namesake Stephen Edwards to find out more about the firm’s ethos and its plans for the future. S Edwards Ltd is a compact yet versatile independent company dedicated to addressing all of its clients’ transportation needs. The firm’s comprehensive suite of transport solutions encompasses everything from compact vans to colossal lorries boasting a 150-tonne loading capacity. Moreover, the company provides Moffatt self-loading and unloading vehicles to tackle hard to reach and cumbersome tasks. Furthermore, the extensive range of services available at S Edwards include beavertail trucks, curtain-sided lorries, flatbed trucks, and refrigerated vehicles for temperaturesensitive cargo. The dedicated and diligent team employs a diverse assortment of configurations, such as 4×4 trailer setups with up to 5.5 metre trailers, 3.5 tonne flatbeds, and 3.5 tonne refrigerated vans. Complementing these offerings, the company provides an extensive array of HGVs ranging from 7.5 tonne to 44 tonne units in various specifications. With a wide range of customers nationwide, and regularly dealing with companies in Dorset, Greater Manchester, Powys, Oxfordshire, and Shropshire, S Edwards is highly experienced in getting the job done wherever and whenever its clients require. “We work with a network of highly skilled subcontractors to find the right vehicle for your needs, and they deliver a top-quality service,” explains Stephen Edwards, the company’s Founder and Company Director who set up the firm eight years ago. “All our sub-contractors are respected members of the haulage industry, and we can highly recommend all of them, they are chosen for their reputation of great service.” Stephen himself has more than 35 years’ worth of experience in road haulage in the United Kingdom and wider Europe, and has worked across all disciplines of road haulage, such as roping, sheeting, tankers, curtain-siders, fridges, and bulkers. His vast knowledge and expertise means that he strives on a daily basis to ‘deliver customer satisfaction’ – a phrase which he has adopted as the company motto. The dedicated team of contractors are always fully vetted and S Edwards also requests that customers provide feedback to the company, whether it is good or bad, or both. “One complaint from a customer and that contractor won’t be used again. I cannot stress enough that S Edwards is totally customer focused. The way we see things is: no customers, no business!” Perhaps the company’s biggest, and most important, selling point is its ability to deliver the right vehicle, with the quickest response, to perfectly match its customers’ needs. Indeed, the firm has been praised on a regular basis for the speed with which it accomplishes getting its vehicles on site from the time of the initial telephone call, and it always aims to have a vehicle on site within one hour. Transport always has had the same problem, Stephen tells us, with firms cutting costs to get the work then being unable to complete the task. “At S Edwards Ltd, we are not cheap, but our reviews will speak for themselves, as we really do pride ourselves on delivering customer satisfaction,” he elaborates. “Overall, the industry has slowed down and we have seen our workload decline from some of our customers, however we are always on the look-out for new customers and, with that, new challenges too.” Recently, in recognition of the exemplary customer service that S Edwards provides and its steadfast commitment to complete customer satisfaction, the company was bestowed with the prestigious accolade of Most Trusted Courier Business 2024 in the UK Enterprise Awards. Now, as the future beckons, Stephen has ambitious plans and aims to grow the business’s customer base even further in 2024, having taken on six new customers already this year. “We are always intent on growing,” he enthuses. “Customer satisfaction to us outweighs the financial side of the business. We get as much happiness hearing the praise from our customers as we do earning the money we generate.” And here are just a handful of reviews from delighted customers who could not be happier with the service they received from S Edwards. N Davies comments, “Reliable same-day service at an extremely competitive rate... Mr Edwards with his smart appearance and knowledge as a courier picked up our goods in London and delivered them to Shropshire the same day. Very smart vehicle too. Will certainly be using this company again.” Another customer was similarly impressed with the firm. Here’s what O Griffiths had to say: “Steve did a job for our cricket club recently and the service was fantastic. Fetched a machine for us from Guildford on a Sunday and was delivering it to us just after lunchtime. Great value, great service, and a nice chap to top it all off! Will highly recommend to anyone and will be using again in future.” During the pandemic lockdowns, S Edwards’ reliable work was essential to many people, as L Patchett tells us: “Used Steve for collecting eBay items during this crazy lockdown – First-class service, speedy, and reliable. Will definitely us him again. Thanks, Steve.” C Robins couldn’t agree more, and enthuses, “We have worked closely with S Edwards on Most Trusted Courier Business 2024
