Titanic Building, “Met all the required building standards”

We know it wasn't the iceberg, it was the lack of lifeboats that was the flaw. Now Tuesday night’s tragic fire in Kensington is just the latest reminder of the issues cities like London still face in 21st century. Fire prevention and evacuation technologies are improving all the time and can be employed to reduce the risk to property and life, but many are forsaken, as the Grenfell fire sadly reminds us - 24 floors, one stairway. Why, given the heart-breaking outcomes, is everything possible not done to reduce the risks? One answer comes from the telling story of an amendment to the 2016 housing and planning bill that would have tried to ensure that all accommodation was safe for people to live in, but which was defeated by 312 votes to 219 because it would add “unnecessary regulation and cost to landlords.” Other anecdotes from the commercial space support the idea...

Targeting rewards to foster loyalty.

Reward Technology takes a new approach to customer acquisition and retention through loyalty programmes by changing the time, place and way retailers provide their shoppers with special offers and rewards, Dennis Daniel reports Paul Sheedy, founder and CEO of Reward Technology, a UK-based loyalty solutions provider, has an interesting proposition to offer retailers looking for loyalty solutions to attract and retain customers. He begins by drawing ttention to a simple fact. Customers use their loyalty cards when they pay their shopping bill at the till (POS terminal) in a store to accumulate points. That’s when the retailer first identifies and connects with them. He can then access consumer data on their cards that shows their wants and preferences and target them with promotional vouchers or coupons based on this data to entice them back to his store.   Sheedy feels this will more than likely turn out to be a wasted opportunity because...
