New measures to combat business fraud

Filed under: Business — admin @ 11:32 am

Businesses are being urged to fight back against fraud by taking advantage of changes made in the Companies Act 2006 which came into force this week.

A major change offers directors and company secretaries the chance to remove their personal home addresses from the public record, by supplying Companies House with an alternate “service address” such as the company’s registered office.

Previously, withholding a residential address was only possible via a Confidentiality Order issued by the Courts.

Malaysian navy success

Filed under: Member — admin @ 11:16 am

South Shields based Solar Solve Marine have recently dispatched their first order for SOLASOLV world class anti glare roller screens to the Malaysian Navy.  It was won by their World Wide distributor based in Malaysia against stiff competition.  The screens will be installed at all of the wheelhouse windows on the KD LEKIR.

One of two German-built Kasturi class frigates that were delivered in the early 1980s, KD LEKIR was chosen for the Malaysian Navy Service Life Extension Program (SLEP), which is aimed at extending the life of some vessels in the fleet by 10 years.  As well as the new roller screens for the navigation bridge windows, that will reject glare, heat and uv light, the vessel will also receive other significant items of equipment including radar and fire control upgrades.
