Voted a top 100 course, the event mimicked the format of the Ryder Cup competition which was starting the same day.

The weather was absolutely atrocious, but unlike the stars at the Celtic Manor all participants bravely battled on to the end, thoroughly enjoying this great course.  The outright winners were the team representing Great Britain and Europe, but the real winners were the children at Demelza House who benefited from the money raised on the day to go along with the donations made earlier in the summer following a day at Chislehurst Golf Club.

RCS, HAND IN HAND WITH THE GUARDIAN, GET BACK TO NATURE

Camley Street Natural Park is an innovative and internationally acclaimed nature reserve situated in the heart of Kings Cross.

Sandwiched between the Regent’s Canal and St Pancras International Station, Camley Street National Park is one of the first examples of a purposely created nature reserve in the UK.  The park is built on the site of an old railway coal yard, having been saved from development in the early 1980’s following a campaign by local wildlife enthusiasts.  Managed by the London Wildlife Trust, today the park is a unique wild green space in central London and an asset for both wildlife and the local community.

Along with staff from The Guardian, Tom and Kevin spent the day helping out with the maintenance of the site, removing rubbish, clearing overgrown areas and building habitats for insects.  The green material was then chipped and recycled for future use as mulch.

This decision is very much in line with our Sustainability Strategy and has the dual advantage of minimising our carbon footprint allowing us to use the money saved to fund the Xmas Party for the children of Demelza House Hospice Care and their families.

The card was designed and drafted by Paddy, IT enthusiast and thirteen year old son of Managing Director, David Sambrook. Paddy met the brief of producing a light-hearted design which captured the Xmas party theme and clearly recognised the Demelza and RCS brands.

Ionised water acts as a multipurpose cleaner that removes dirt more effectively than many conventional cleaning chemicals on non-porous surfaces, but has the bonus of impressive green credentials having no additives, no chemicals and no packaging. It is also 99.9% effective against all commonly known pathogens.

RCS have purchased a number of these re-chargeable hand held spray units and is currently carrying out site trials to fully assess their benefits.

Most of us believe that taking the green cleaning option helps preserve the environment.  But choosing a green product is just the first step. True sustainability takes the full lifecycle approach which starts with renewable resourcing, looks at the amount of energy used in the product’s creation, its distribution to point of usage, its efficiency of use and its ultimate disposal.

The problem is that very few green products can claim to be sustainable and many are simply ineffective as cleaners.

After extensive trials, RCS can now offer its customers an effective cleaning regime entirely utilising a small range of green products which demonstrate very high levels of efficiency and present no harm to operatives, office workers or the environment.

The products originate as biological actives found in the soil. Through a natural degradation and purification process they will continue to break down and digest waste hours after application. They are supplied in a high concentrated form, in predominantly recyclable packaging so minimising both distribution mileage and waste.

The RCS sustainability strategy also encourages clients to consider cleaning during office hours. This can save on lighting, improve trust and security, and raise the perception and satisfaction of the cleaning service with the office staff.

Experience gained from recent pandemic scares has taught us that by scheduling frequent cleaning of common touch points during the day, we can greatly reduce illness through crosscontamination, thus improving the sustainability of the building.

It provides further benefits for the cleaning staff who are better able to identify with the business and enjoy improved family friendly lifestyles.

While accepting that this concept will not suit every situation it is one more option on the route to reducing our carbon footprint.
