8 News Oak Furniture Land addition Ian Roberts has been appointed finance director of Oak Furniture Land. Ian joins following a successful period with Warren Evans, where he directed a major business expansion strategy through a store roll-out programme. Ian also has considerable retail experience from his five years as group finance director of a leading furniture manufacturer, where he played an instrumental role in transforming the imports division into the groups most profitable unit, and extensive product sourcing experience from over 15 years of business in Asia. Health and safety bonfire News the Government is planning to slash health and safety red tape for small businesses has been welcomed by the Forum of Private Business. Employment Minister Chris Grayling announced that the Government will begin a wholesale revamp of UK health and safety legislation, binning more than half the rules and regulations currently in force over a three-year period. He also signalled a sooner rather than later approach. Health and safety regulations will also be reduced through combining, simplifying and reducing the approximately 200 existing regulations. The forums senior policy adviser, Alex Jackman, says: Civil action against businesses is a huge issue for our members, and many over-compensate where health and safety is concerned. Not only does this unduly raise the cost of compliance disproportionately so for the smallest businesses but it also raises the expectations of employees should personal injury unfortunately befall them. We welcome moves to redress the imbalance we currently have, where employers can be successfully prosecuted despite having taken all reasonable steps to protect their employees. Serene increases warehousing Bed supplier Serene Furnishings has increased its warehousing and recruiting across all departments. The company has added a further unit to its facility in the West Midlands, increasing warehousing to over 100,000ft 2 . A new warehouse manager, Mohammed Basharat, has also been appointed, who will be responsible for overseeing Serenes movement and storage of over 60,000 items of stock. Marimekko opens at Boxpark Finnish textile manufacturer Marimekko opened its second company-owned retail store in London last month, part of the worlds first pop-up mall, Boxpark Shoreditch. The innovative retail centre is built on movable shipping containers to create a mix of international fashion, art and lifestyle brands. Its natural for Marimekko to be part of this unique international pop-up mall of brands with a radical attitude, says Marimekko creative director Minna Kemell-Kutvonen. I think Londons Shoreditch, as the creative heart of the global capital of street style, gives us a great opportunity to launch an inspiring conversation with the local taste-maker community. The Boxpark Shoreditch pop-up mall will initially open for up to five years, and will be home to more than 60 brands.

Over the past two decades the licence agreement has seen Duresta produce 15 pieces under the National Trust brand, contributing sizeable revenue to further the charitys conservation work. Clive Kenyon Brown, chief executive of Duresta, says: The National Trust label has grown in demand over the past 20 years and it is particularly popular with our international customers. This style is universally appreciated for its essentially comfortable character, one where the formal and very grand can sit beautifully alongside the casual, plain and simple. UKTI encourages export to Asia Business Secretary Dr Vince Cable and Foreign Secretary William Hague have launched a UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) campaign to encourage more British companies to export to Asias high growth and emerging markets. As part of the campaign, UK Trade & Investment has joined forces with RBS bank to deliver a series of programmes that will demonstrate key business opportunities across 12 Asian markets to UK firms. The events will be held next month and will focus on China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam. Dr Vince Cable says: British businesses are already succeeding in many markets across Asia. I saw this first-hand during a recent visit to Singapore, Indonesia and Vietnam and in previous visits to Japan, Korea, China and India. In the last year, our exports to the 12 markets in this campaign were worth 25b, though we are still well below potential. The Governments recent decision to allocate an additional 45m to international trade promotion will help more medium- sized exporters and will also double the number of SMEs UKTI supports from 25,000 to 50,000. I urge companies from all sectors to get involved in this campaign, and see what opportunities Asia could hold for them.
