Absolute Comment On Opening Of New Community Training Hub

Absolute, a Chelmsford-based sales and marketing company were interested to hear recently of the opening of one of the first facilities in Essex to give access to free services and training opportunities. Simon Burns, Minister of State for Health and MP for Chelmsford, officially opened the Parkside Community Hub in Melbourne Avenue, Chelmsford. The facility is a former NHS clinic which has been refurbished by Chelmsford-based housing association CHP to provide residents with an IT training suite, a kitchen, creche and a communal garden. The community hub is also accessible for people with a disability.

Our source at Absolute said, “We're really excited to see this facility opening. It's a really great resource which will help a lot of people to get access to training that they might otherwise not have had. It will be really well received in the community.”

Working with organisations including JobCentre Plus, the Citizens Advice Bureau, Adult Community Learning, Voluntary Sector Training, Women’s Aid, Chelmsford City Council and Essex Police, the hub aims to improve the lives of residents.

Debbie Willson, the hub’s manager, said: “We’re delighted to have officially launched Parkside Community Hub, which offers a different approach to tackling social and financial problems. The Hub provides free services and is primarily aimed at getting people involved in training so they have the confidence and skills to make long-term changes to their lifestyle.”

“It's so important for people in the community to have a place like this,” said our source at Absolute, “It can really boost the morale of young people and the unemployed to be able to increase their opportunities by using services like these.”

It is hoped the facility will help people increase skills and qualifications. During school holidays, it will also offer activities and events for young people. Part of CHP’s £10million project, which also saw the regeneration of Parkside Court, the Parkside Community Hub was part-funded by the Government’s Investing in Communities programme. 

Absolute Comment On Plaque Unveiled For Victorian Architect

Absolute, a Chelmsford-based sales and marketing company, were interested to hear recently that a permanent reminder of an accomplished architect who helped build part of Chelmsford has been put up. James Fenton was responsible for laying out nine buildings in New London Road. Mr Fenton, who died in 1875, was also responsible for the road’s cemetery and he implemented the town’s infrastructure of mains water and sewerage. Many of his remaining buildings are protected as listed buildings or through inclusion within designated conservation areas.

Our source at Absolute said, “James Fenton is definitely deserving of the honour. So much of the city’s infrastructure is down to his work, and he’s a really important figure in the history of Chelmsford.”

Chelmsford Council has unveiled its first commemorative blue plaque for five years. Mayor Bob Shepherd unveiled the 15th plaque in the series at the Chelmsford social club, in New London Road, which Mr Fenton designed and lived in between 1846 and 1857. The blue plaque honour, run by the council, began in 1986 to commemorate people of significance to the city.

 Mr Shepherd said: “I am immensely proud to unveil this plaque in memory of someone who helped create the Victorian framework of modern Chelmsford and who I hope would be very proud himself of our new city status.”

Christopher Kingsley, councillor responsible for parks and heritage, said: “I was very pleased the council’s cabinet agreed to continue the blue plaque scheme, with one for James Fenton. He certainly fulfils our strict criteria and is an illustrious figure in the history of Chelmsford.”

“We’re really pleased at the mark of respect received by Mr Fenton,” said our source at Absolute, “It will hopefully inspire some people to look into the contributions he made to the city, and learn a bit more about their local history.”

Mr Fenton was born in Reading in 1805, and set up an architect’s practice in Chelmsford in 1830.

He specialised in workhouses and, later, non-conformist chapels, and was part of a consortium of five businessmen who laid out and developed New London Road. In 1850 he was appointed surveyor to the newly-formed Chelmsford Local Board of Health, planning and executing a major water supply and sewage system for the town – greatly improving health and sanitation.

Mr Fenton is buried in the non-conformist cemetery in New London Road.

Two blind British men have electronic retinas fitted Absolute Client Services comments

Two British men who have been totally blind for many years have had part of their vision restored after surgery to fit pioneering eye implants. When asked to comment a source close to the team at Absolute Client Services said “This is amazing words fail to express how absolutely amazing the electronic retina is. To have vision restored after being blind for so long brings a lot of hope to blind people throughout the world.” The surgery involves placing the square microelectronic chip behind the retina from where a fine cable runs to a control unit under the skin behind the ear. They are able to perceive light and even some shapes from the devices which were fitted behind the retina. The two patients, Chris James and Robin Millar, lost their vision due to a condition known as retinitis pigmentosa, where the photoreceptor cells at the back of the eye gradually cease to function.

Professor MacLaren, who fitted the first implant in the UK at the Oxford Eye Hospital, said “It's the first time that British patients who were completely blind have been able to see something. In previous studies of restorative vision involving stem cells and other treatments, patients always had some residual sight.” When light enters the eye and reaches the chip it stimulates the pixels which send electronic signals to the optic nerve and from there to the brain. The chip can have its sensitivity altered via an external power unit which connects to the chip via a magnetic disc on the scalp.  “Great discoveries like this happen but only once or twice in a year one that truly leave the general public speechless. This is one of those moments. It is overwhelming to think that this small microchip can bring so much happiness to blind sufferers.” said the managing director of Absolute Client Services.

Prof MacLaren said the results might not seem extraordinary to the sighted, but for a totally blind person to be able to orientate themselves in a room, and perhaps know where the doors and windows are, would be "extremely useful" and of practical help. “We at Absolute Client Services are at a loss for words great enough to express how appreciated this discovery will be. With 20/20 vision I have never really thought of the prospect of ever being blind. To be giving the hope to see some of the beauty that graces our world to those living for so long in the dark is just simply amazing.”

Absolute Client Services Comment On Brave Chelmsford Woman Who Proposes On Piccadilly Lights Absolute Client Services Comment On Brave Chelmsford Woman Who Proposes On Piccadilly Lights FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE PRLog (Press Release) - Mar 16, 2012 - A Leap Year comes once every four years and it’s a time when women can propose to men, for one brave Chelmsford woman who stuck to Leap Year tradition and proposed to her man on one of London’s most famous sights - and he said yes! Traditionally, only women can propose to their partners on the day that comes around just once every four years, Jessica Lee got down on one knee and publicly popped the question to her boyfriend Christian Bailey on the famous London Piccadilly Lights yesterday, February 29. Jessica said: “Proposing to Christian publicly on the Piccadilly Lights was nerve wracking and exciting all at the same time” After a chance encounter on a train from London back to Chelmsford, Jessica and Christian got talking and realised that although they had both grown up in Chelmsford, sharing lots of mutual friends and both attending Our Lady Immaculate Primary School, they had never actually met, the couple went on to realise they were both born in St John’s Hospital in 1979 and travelled to many places at the same time, without crossing paths, many people will call this a coincidence for Jessica and Christian they call it fate. A source for Absolute Client Services has said “February 29th only comes every four years, so we see more and more people now making the most of their leap year, making it memorable for them, We ask women the question everyday ‘Would you propose to your man’ Most of the women we put that question to say they would wait until the leap year, So it is no surprise that we see more and more women taking that leap” Jessica’s opportunity to propose came about through the annual Love Notes campaign run by the British Heart Foundation’s (BHF) charity shops during National Heart Month, which is part of the BHF’s flagship Red for Heart fundraising campaign. Jessica won the competition with her entry about how she and Christian first men. A source for Absolute Client Services said “This charity is amazing to give this couple a chance to make their ‘Leap Year’ memorable they give Jessica the chance to propose, it’s such a heart warming tale and one you would expect to read in a children’s story book” Jessica said “I entered this competition by posting a Love Note to him on the Chelmsford BHF Shop window and now I’m engaged to the love of my life.” February 29th 2012 will always remain a special day for both Jessica and Christian that is what ‘Leap Year’ is all about taking that extra leap to do something you would normally shy away from doing. The British Heart Foundation is an amazing charity to give people this great opportunity for 2012 it was Jessica and Christian who knows who will be next in 2016. A source for Absolute Client Services said “This was such a wonderful story of love and brings a smile to the hearts of all readers; We wish Jessica and Christian all the happiness, We at Absolute Client Services cannot wait for the next four years to see more women take the leap.” http://www.briefingwire.com/pr/absolute-client-services- ...

Holidaymakers will be heading to the new 500-acre Olympic Park outside Stratford station, or the Olympic mountain-biking event in Hadleigh. “It’s a good example of how most situations can be seen as a positive business opportunity, by those with an entrepreneurial mindset,” said a source at Absolute Client Services, a Chelmsford-based sales and marketing company. Sharon Tremaine, a London cab driver, hopes to let two bedrooms in her South Woodham Ferrers home for £900 a week. “I got the idea from speaking to other cabbies and thought ‘well I’ve got a couple of spare rooms to let’,” said the married mum-of-two, “And if we can benefit a little bit from the Olympics being on our doorstep then why not?” A four bedroom home in Chelmsford is hoping to fetch £5000 a week, while some of the larger properties are on offer at £6000 a week. Even Braintree District Councillor David Bebb, the former chairman of governors at Chelmsford County High School for girls, has put his four bedroom 15th- century cottage in Hatfield Peverel online for £2,950 a week. “The influx of tourism is going to be huge during the Olympics,” said Mr. Peace from Absolute Client Services. “These people have rightly identified a gap in the market, and why not utilise that? It’s a great idea.” Former advertising consultant Emma Wilson, who owns a two bedroom apartment in Marconi Road, already lets to foreign students and tourists on short tenancy agreements. Ms. Wilson, who lives in the apartment above said, “Lots of people are staying in hotels which is really expensive so I thought people staying for a couple of weeks would like to having a washing machine and be able to cook for themselves, rather than be stuck in one room.” She added, “I’ve already had inquiries from Germany and America and I’m hoping to charge between £600 and £650 a week.” Absolute Client Services noted, “The Olympics are already going to bring millions to the local economy and this is just one more way in which the city will benefit from this iconic event.” http://www.thisistotalessex.co.uk/Home-rent-profit-real- ...
