Eighteen months ago Ofgem - the energy industry regulator - launched its supply 'Probe' Jacksonville Jaguars Jersey , an investigation into the markets for electricity and gas supply. Top of the agenda for small businesses was rollover contracts (which automatically renew without a signature). You may have heard these also being referred to as 'assumptive renewal' or the slightly misleading 'evergreen' contracts (absolutely nothing to do with being green but all the emphasis on being for 'ever'!).

Unlike household energy contracts, nearly all gas and electricity for business contracts are evergreen, meaning they automatically renew themselves if you don't terminate them with a letter of notice. Some business electricity and gas suppliers renew more than 90% of their customers in this way, rolling them over on to new not-so cheap energy prices when often the customer is unaware this is happening.

The core issue is not the existence of rollover contracts but the way in which Ofgem has allowed the business electricity suppliers to use them. Some business electricity providers take advantage of a lack of awareness among small businesses about how the contracts work Braden Smith Jersey , disguise the renewal reminder as junk mail and all have different rules for serving notice.

However this and the other the issues affecting the way small businesses buy their commercial energy have been around for a long time. Newspapers such as the Daily Telegraph and the Mail on Sunday have been reporting the issues and even campaigning on behalf of business consumers for years. We too have been campaigning since year dot - which for us was early in 2007. In September of that year we co-hosted a 'rollover roundtable' with Mark Prisk MP, the Shadow Business Minster and was attended by all the 'Big 6' business electricity providers, energywatch (the watchdog now absorbed into Consumer Focus), the Federation of Small Businesses and Philip Davies Darius Leonard Jersey , a director of Ofgem. Davies summed up the dilemma facing SME energy customers at the meeting by saying: "Some businesses are getting a good deal and others are not. Being a passive customer means that, as the years go by, you are much less likely to get a better deal than an active customer."

The roundtable meeting coincided with the results of a customer satisfaction survey of over 2,400 small firms Quenton Nelson Jersey , revealing that none of the Big 6 business electricity providers even reach a 'satisfied' rating for. It was concluded that the following recommendations should be adopted and accelerated by Ofgem:

聲 Clear access to business electricity prices (as in domestic market)
聲 Code of conduct for all business electricity price comparison intermediaries
聲 Commercial electricity contract terms to be fairer, more consistent and less ambiguous
聲 Challenge current rules to close certain loopholes which deliberately complicate the process of switching to retain
customers.

So the Probe was launched the following February (2008) and, between then and now, there have been a series of announcements and periods of consulting from the Regulator. The changes Indianapolis Colts Jersey , which Ofgem proposes, are due to come into force on 1st January 2010 but, in our opinion they do not go far enough. Furthermore in Ofgem's own words, the changes " d not entirely eliminate the risk of potential consumer detriment as a result of the automatic contract rollover." We also think the proposed changes are in danger of creating more confusion in the market because they:

聲 Fail to properly address rollover contracts
聲 Waste a rare and perfect opportunity to standardise all the suppliers' Terms & Conditions
聲 Do not apply retrospectively so will only relate to business contracts fixed from 2010

If the contract terms relating to the renewal process were simplified Houston Texans Jersey , standardised across all suppliers and applied to every existing contract, businesses would at least have a much better chance of knowing where they stood when confronting their business electricity costs. Anyone can write to Ofgem to lobby for this to happen and, indeed, we have been encouraging small businesses and their representatives to do so. It takes more than one voice to represent an industry but thankfully we are not alone in thinking this.Frank Lugviel

For beginners, laying concrete requires not merely understanding of the materials and concreting tactics but also skill in using both basic and specific tools from chalk lines and tape steps to concrete edger鈥檚 Josh Jackson Jersey , grooves and such. Apart from practical skills, the job of a concrete manufacturer MA is like another project in the sense that it also calls for skills in planning and business to be successful.

There are various things you have to plan for and do even before inserting the concrete like protecting the correct permits. If you're not strong in job management, it might be best to hire a concrete builder for assembling your project of precast concrete retaining wall blocks or you're preparing yourself up for a real headache.


Concreting is quite Hard Work
Also, you have to understand that concreting is laborious work. You'll likely have to get other people to help you. The work involves securing the required building allows Jaire Alexander Jersey , excavating the website, setting up the sub grade, then building and establishing the concrete formwork, positioning the concrete and completing it. A lot of people wouldn't find these tasks easy. It could often be the hardest physical work you've ev.
