The Elliot Group Ltd is the UK's largest provider of portable accommodation and secure site storage suitable for building sites and businesses that need secure storage on a temporary basis. You can order secure steel containers (in 5 different sizes, from 3m x 2.4m to 9.1m x 2.4m) for delivery from their local depot to your site directly from their website.

They will also provide heavy duty ramps allowing forklifts and pallet trucks to access the containers and prefitted shelving if you order these.

Swift Office & Domestic Cleaners Ltd are a cleaning company in Nottingham that, as well as cleaning homes and offices, offer a builders clean service for new homes. This is the sort of service that house builders use when a new property has been completed and they need to clean the house before the new owners move in.

It seems that they were established in 1990 and have continued to grow since then.

This site contains details of 492 New homes in Lincolnshire at the moment and has a search facility to narrow the search down to a specific place like new homes in Bourne where there is at least one new development being built.

Fortunately for Bourne, it is too far north to be part of the London-Stansted-Cambridge-Peterborough corridor (and this link from the unelected East of England Regional Assembly) as this finishes on the northern edge of Peterborough) so this market town should not be swamped with 1000's of new houses as will happen elsewhere, for example there have been plans for 18,000 houses to be built in Cambridgeshire alone.

Locally based Reads Removals are a Peterborough removal and storage company aiming to give a first class service. They provide house removals locally, nationwide or even worldwide.

I've been looking for a company that does database cleansing for a client. Their marketing database seems to have all sorts of near duplicate records and this company looks as if they might have the answer for deduplication. I'll have to check if they can handle Cache databases via ODBC, if not I guess I can extract from the cache system into a format that they may be able to process.

For those quiet moments, an online monthly Sudoku competition. For those that don't know about Sudoku, it is a 9x9 grid and there is only one rule " Fill in the grid so that every row, every column, and every 3x3 box contains the digits 1 through 9". Sounds easy but in fact can take a couple of hours to solve the difficult ones !
