The Enigin Insider, Enigin Scam Busting

Here is hot off the press information from your beloved Enigin insider…

I’ve ask myself the question, why are people reading my blog? Well the answer is obvious, inside information. I know you love to get information from the horses mouth, as it were. So I´ve got some red hot, new, tasty, information for you.

I have it on good authority, that Enigin will soon be releasing new products. I can’t tell you what they are, but, I will say this. LEDs are providing a fantastic new way of saving energy to lighting systems. New LED technology is not a scam, Enigin plc would only provide the very very best of any product they supply. Why do I say this, well because in truth It’s fair to say that LED technology varies greatly in quality. If we were to offer such technology, you can be sure it would be, only the very best.

Of course I’m not one to gossip, so I’ll just state the facts. There has been a lot of talk, around the coffee tables and in low voices of a new initiative. The word on the street is, Enigin Scam Busters. Sounds strange? Well the powers that be, here at Enigin PLC, are working harder than ever to help their customers find the very best of business investments. With the relentless growth of the World Wide Web, customers need to be more and more vigilant when choosing their business investment. How can we help?

Enigin scam busters, will be a new resource for distributors, and our customers. It will help to get to the facts. With this new initiative we will be able to have a clear and transparent picture of what a quality business investment Enigin is. It will provide actual facts and figures, case studies and data that will aid you in making your decision to invest in the Energy saving sector.

But I’m forgetting myself, I wasn’t going to say anything

Enigin Saving Energy

Here in the actual Enigin HQ, we are always looking at ways to cut down our carbon footprint, whether its for our own office or developing new products that may benefit other industries.

In every room we have the Enigin ‘Light Energy Saver System’ (LESS) which senses how light the room is, particularly when its bright outside, and adjusts the light fittings accordingly.  I particularly like this feature as I am not a big fan of artifical light but this system works alongside the natural lighting outside which is a good thing to have.

Another bonus to this is that by using less artifical lighting, we are using less electricity and therefore making a significant saving on how much the office costs to run.

Seven Wonders of the World

There was a TV programme on recently in the UK which covered a series of “an Idiot”, as the man was termed, travelling around the world to visit the seven wonders. It was a funny programme, and in some ways he really was “an Idiot”, but it was also very interesting and quite enlightening about these different places.

He was sent on his own to these different countries by a couple of friends who had arranged everything for him, his accommodation, transport and days out. One interesting thing about the programme was that in many ways he explored areas and things that most tourists wouldn’t actually do or see, but there were also aspects which would be experienced by the public if they visited such places.

Water Energy

By Madeleine Whittaker

Did you know of the technologies already available for energy development from water?

Water energy sources can be a way to supply energy without producing any harmful emissions and greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming. Some types of water energy sources include tides, waves, currents and others.

Much is actually captured underwater, but how?

Weather - climate linked?

I’ve been wondering of late what is happening with our British weather.  Firstly, we had the snow at the beginning of the year that brought the UK to a standstill.  Here at Enigin HQ, the majority of staff were stuck at home due to dangerous driving conditions.  Although it was fun for the first couple of days, its wasn’t so when supplies started drying up as the stores couldn’t restock their shelves.  

Apparently it cost the economy up to £690 million a day and up to £14.5 billion in lost business due to missed orders, lost trade from shoppers staying at home and the costs of workers failing to turn up. 

And just recently the volcano ash has affected all flights in and out of the UK.   Am I the only one thinking these natural disasters seem to be occurring more and more often?  Or is it just its always happened but the media expose it on a greater scale now?

Enigin - certainty in uncertain times

Here at Enigin HQ, the Enigin team find it important to keep up to date with the latest news and issues affecting our climate and the field we work in.  

As the Enigin Office Manager, I have been intrigued by what is happening in Copenhagen with the climate summit which is now in full swing.  Delegates from 192 countries are aiming to reach a new treaty on climate change.  Some might argue that this couldn’t have happened at a worse time with the UN launching an investigation into the recent ‘Climategate’ scandal. 

These claims that UK scientists manipulated global warming data to support the theory that it is man made does nothing for the scientific world’s reputation.  The public are now very sceptical, unable to determine who are corrupt and biased and who have actually investigated climate change honestly.

When it comes to energy consumption; Enigin presents the facts in a very clear, uncomplicated format.  Our Eniscope offers real-time monitoring on your energy consumption with an easy to use interface to show you exactly what you’re using at any time.  Instantly you can spot trends and wastage - how you use this information is up to you but it’s your decision - it allows you to be in control of your carbon footprint, where as before all you could do is rely on what people tell you.

The Enigin Move

I have been working for Enigin now for nearly three years and see how it has progressed from a small company up to a 30 person strong team.  I turned up on my first day at work to a completely empty office which was one of my first tasks at Enigin. 

I have kitted out three Enigin offices now and every time we move, it is a bigger mission as we have more employees and therefore more stuff.  In the early days, it was relatively straight forward - everyone was given a box for their possessions, this was labelled and handed out at the other side.  But as we’ve expanded, there has been more equipment to install and more employees to seat and usually a very tight timeframe to get everything up and running.  Trying to achieve this whilst causing as little disruption as possible to the other employees is quite a challenge. 

It doesn’t matter that there’s a big move taking place; appointments and telephone conferences must still be kept, computers only shut down for a short period of time and the all important tea and coffee constantly flowing. 

Although I find it quite stressful moving offices (it’s pretty much the same as moving house), it is also exciting to see how far Enigin has progressed where we’re at the stage we need to move to larger premises.  And once everyone is settled and everything is working smoothly again, if I’m able to take a step back and look at what’s been achieved, it’s a very good feeling.

My first Post!

Welcome to my blog. Shortly I will be filling this page with lots of stories, highlights of the week and useful office tips for all you lovely admin people who secretly run the world. I can already let you in on a little tip – if you know it’s going to be a cold and dark week weather wise, make sure you have plenty of galaxy chocolate close by – preferably in your drawer so you don’t actually have to move from your seat all day.
