CAMP IN STYLE AND COLOUR

With Boutique Camping
We’ve all been there before; stuck in a two man tent enduring the best of the British pouring rain with no room to take off your wet clothes and muddy wellies, or trying to sleep in the heat of the early morning sun, condensation dripping on you while your tent heats up like a greenhouse. Well those days are over! Say goodbye to pokey nylon tents and hello to the luxury and comfort that a spacious bell tent offers you.

Boutique Camping is a new and fresh tent manufacturer, aiming to have a different approach to camping. The name Boutique Camping derives from luxury camping at festivals and we can’t think of a better name to describe it. Like ‘Glamping’ (glamorous camping) Boutique Camping is cool and stylish. It’s fun, hassle free, relaxed and approachable and ultimately enhances your camping experience.

We make, supply, sell and hire our tents with an array of accessories that you may require to complete your bespoke camping experience. Although there are several bell tent suppliers out there, Boutique Camping strives to provide the best possible service and choice to our customers by adding our own boutique touches.

Our bell tents are 100% cotton canvass and are one of the lightest on the market weighing 285g psm rather than the 400g psm. This allows the tent breathe whilst also making it easier to transport. Boutique Camping is the first to launch a limited edition collection of four different colours; original natural sandstone and three fresh summer colours of Apple Green, Sky Blue and Sun-blushed Coral. These are available in two spacious sizes : the 4m, perfect for a couple or small group and the 5m, great for groups of up to 5 or 6. (RRP from £369)

Boutique Camping bell tents have zipped in ground sheets rather than a flappy separate ground sheet or none at all. This makes the tent secure, weather tight, and offers a quality finish to our products. In addition to this, our groundsheet system allows you to unzip it all and roll up the sides to air the tent or enjoy the breeze on a hot day.

Our range of accessories will continue to grow as we do. We currently offer luxury beanbags, enchanting sky lanterns, rugs, matts, stools, bunting, tables and inner tents. We are completely open to suggestions at Boutique Camping and aim to add that finishing stylish touch and comfort to your camping experience.

Luxury Bell Tents

At www.boutiquecamping.com, we manufacturer and distribute our own range of luxury Bell Tents in an array of beautiful colours, along with matching accessorises available to purchase or hire.

Our Bell Tents are the best available on the market, made from the 100% durable cotton and designed for every camping occasion in mind. All our Tents come with a zipped in ground sheet, perfect for those hot summer days, where you can just roll up the sides and enjoy the breeze. They also have the added benefit of being watertight for those rainy days whilst also adding extra security that the non zipped bell tents don’t offer.

Our Bell Tents and accessories are just the perfect answer to your camping needs. Once you have experienced Glamping in our luxury Bell Tents, you’ll wonder how you ever went camping without it.

Underwater Thickness Guages

Cygnus Instruments introduces the new “Cygnus Underwater” thickness gauge. For over 25 years, Cygnus Instruments has been the leading manufacturer of reliable, rugged underwater thickness gauges for divers carrying out maintenance inspections and corrosion checks. Developed with the Cygnus pioneered Multiple Echo technique, all Cygnus gauges ignore surface coatings and give only true, accurate measurements. This technique ensures that successive returning echoes precisely match and are thus error‐checked before a measurement is displayed. As a result, inspection time and costs are significantly reduced.
The new Cygnus Underwater is IPX8 rated, which allows continuous underwater operation up to 300 m depth. The new feature of “Deep‐Coat” mode facilitates measuring through even thicker coatings up to 20 mm thick. Other features include convenient calibration buttons, echo strength indication and automatic probe recognition (APR), which detects the probe type and optimises the electronics accordingly. The gauge benefits from a large, bright LED display for use in poor visibility conditions. When surface verification is required the Cygnus Underwater can be upgraded to include the topside display options and any length of umbilical cable up to 1000 m long. This upgrade is straight forward ‐ simply plug in the topside repeater and go! The standard kit includes 2 rechargeable NiMH battery packs, which give over 60 hours’ measuring time and eliminate down‐time for battery charging.
With the benefit of all these features, the new Cygnus Underwater is not just the lightest (950 g) and smallest (235 x 75 mm) underwater gauge available, but also the easiest to use for all typical underwater inspections: ship hulls, semi‐sub structures, subsea pipelines, offshore structures, jackets, piers, pilings, etc.

Business Training In This Climate

The Need for Export and Import Training

The weakening pound means that UK exports are becoming more competitively priced. In past economic downturns an increase in exports has compensated for declining home markets. As Credit Insurers reduce cover banks and traders are tending to fall back on traditional financial instruments such as letters of credit and other forms of documentary settlement.

Companies that have not previously been exposed to the risks of international trade may now find that they lack the necessary skills to address these challenges. Those companies that have previously exported may find that in house knowledge requires updating.

Traders must also take account of the increasing need to demonstrate compliance with customs regimes in order satisfy the demands of international security. To enable companies, and indeed the United Kingdom, to remain competitive in international trade there is a need to update skills through training. Business Training can provide export and import training solutions for international traders.

Rise Of A Marine Specialist

Sleeman & Hawken was formed in the late 1940’s by Bill Sleeman and Jack Hawken it has remained a family business – Keith Mason the current M.D. joined from school in 1968 and has remained “at the helm” for nearly 40 years.
Jack Hawken left Morgan Giles a shipyard in Teignmouth at the end of 1945 and worked for 6mths in Salcombe. Bill Sleeman and Jack Hawken decided to form a partnership in about March or April 1946. They started their business in French Street, Teignmouth in Devon, UK, where Bill had a bicycle shop. They traded there for a few months and then rented premises from the Quay Co on the dockside at Teignmouth. Once there, the business thrived. They both officially retired in 1968 but Jack continued to work there for another year or so.

The Company pride themselves on service and back up along with competitive pricing on an unlimited range of products.

They specialise in engine and machine spare parts but can source anything. They have developed links with small family organisations and large corporate companies around the world.
