KOREC is proud to announce that we support both serving and former military personnel – by signing up to the Armed Forces Covenant.

Established over a decade ago by the UK Government, the Covenant is a pledge from the nation to our armed forces, that they will be respected, supported and treated fairly.

We’re in good company – joining over 10,000 other businesses and organisations of all sizes who have pledged their support.

KOREC has an existing military connection through one of our own –Philip McCarten, who joined KOREC in 2020 as a member of our geospatial technical support team.

Prior to this, Phil was a member of the 42 Engineer Regiment (Geographic) as a Field Surveyor and Geographic Technician for almost a quarter of a century. The specialist unit is made up of both regulars and reservists, and provides geographic information, survey capabilities and mapping products for the Armed Forces. During his time in the unit, Phil travelled the globe conducting surveys, training and advising personnel in all manner of geographic matters. He even won the prestigious Queen’s Commendation for Bravery for his actions in West Africa in 1998.

Of the news that KOREC has signed up to the Covenant, Phil said;

“I’m delighted that KOREC have signed up, and wanted to say thanks and well done. KOREC is a great place to work and emulates the same values that are at the core of the Armed Forces. I am looking forward to seeing how we, as an organization, implement the covenant in our day to day working, especially as our Huntingdon office is only 3 miles away from my old regiment’s base!”

What is the Covenant?

The Covenant supports current serving members, reservists, veterans, family members, and those who have been injured during their service lifetime.

For reservists in particular, the pledge allows them to balance their civilian work with their Armed Forces role – by providing additional paid leave for them to complete necessary training.

The Covenant opens up a wide variety of support, including;

• Help with purchasing a home
• Enhanced access to physical and mental healthcare
• Financial advice and support
• Support for Veterans via Veterans UK

The super deduction tax relief scheme in the UK is coming to an end soon. So, if you’re planning to upgrade your tools of the trade, now would be an excellent time to do so. Read on to discover how the scheme works, who’s eligible, and how much you can claim…

What is the Super Deduction?

Announced by then-Chancellor Rishi Sunak back in the 2021 budget, the super deduction scheme was established to boost investment, productivity and efficiency for UK businesses – especially after the hardship of 2020.

The scheme offers companies the rare opportunity to claim 130% tax relief on new plant and machinery, purchased before 31st March 2023.

Put another way, for every £1 you spend, your taxes are cut by up to 25p.

So, how does it work?

The scheme allows you to claim 130% tax relief on assets purchased before 31st March 2023.

Let’s look at an example.

Let’s say you purchase new kit at a total cost of £100,000.

In that accounting year, you can claim 130% of that figure (i.e. £130,000) from your taxable profits.

Applying 19% corporation tax to that £130,000 figure gives you a tax saving of £24,700

The table below provides a comparison of the Super Deduction with the previous system – as you can see, the tax saving is more than doubled in this example.

*AIA, Annual Investment Allowance, ended December 2021 **WDAs, Writing Down Allowances

What equipment is included?

HM Treasury defines ‘plant and machinery’ as tangible assets that you use in the course of your business – aka, the tools of your trade.

They do not provide an exhaustive list, but examples of these types of assets include;

• Tools such as ladders and drills
• Construction equipment such as excavators, compactors and bulldozers
• Machines such as computers, printers, lathes and planers

In order to qualify, the kit you purchase must be;

• New and unused
• Purchased – not leased
• Not a gift
• Not to be purchased to lease to someone else

Of course, investing in new equipment isn’t just good for your tax affairs – it’s good for productivity too.

Just take a look at this recent example from Casterbridge Land Surveys – after investing in the R12i GNSS solution, they’re experiencing efficiency gains of 30-50% – put another way, they’re saving up to 3 hours – each and every day.

So, if you were looking to invest in some new kit, it’d be well worth making the investment before the 31st March deadline.

Why not complete the form below, for a call back from our friendly team?

Who's eligible?

There are some basic eligibility requirements to qualify for the scheme;

• You incurred the expenditure before 1st April 2023
• You must be a UK registered company, that is subject to corporation tax
• You did not buy the plant or machinery due to a contract you entered into before 3rd March 2021

If you're a sole trader, you can't use the Super Deduction scheme, but there is a simpler scheme you can take advantage of - find out more about this scheme, here

What else do I need to know?

For more information on how the Super Deduction scheme works, take a look at the gov.uk site on Super Deduction - via this link

All information on this page was correct at time of publication - 13 February 2023

Please note that the Super Deduction scheme is only available to UK companies - businesses should consult their professional tax adviser for full details of the scheme

A trio of news stories celebrating the support that both KOREC and Trimble are providing to the education sector across the UK

There isn’t much that’s more important than ensuring the next generation are informed, enthused and inspired to join us in the exciting world of engineering, construction and the built environment.

In how many other industries can you make such a direct and positive change in how we design, build and maintain the spaces in which we live, work and play?

That’s why we’re delighted to highlight 3 recent stories that do just that;

KOREC & National Highways make a Big impact

Our team were delighted to support National Highways at the recent Big Bang Fair in Birmingham.

The 3-day event saw tens of thousands of children aged 11-14 descend on the NEC to get involved in all things STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths).

The KOREC team were on hand to showcase the very cool technologies that are being utilised to made the collection, sharing and understanding of spatial data easier and more intuitive. The star of the show was most certainly the Trimble XR10 headset. The team loaded various digital models including dinosaurs, robots and an airplane into the device, which the kids could then view and explore!

Check out more photos of the event and the team, here!

Trimble Press Release

…but did you know that Spot, the agile robot with the Trimble X7 3D Laser Scanner, is already being used commercially on four different sites across the UK and Ireland!

In each case, the purchase of Spot and the X7 was based on a carefully researched benefit-cost analysis, taking into account that Spot and the X7 is an autonomous system and the only one available where contractors can operate both the robot and laser scanner through a single integrated tablet controller.

Following on from our first Spot post, ‘What does autonomy mean to you’, we look forward to bringing you stories from all of Spot’s ‘owners’ and first up in this series is a look at how Balfour Beatty’s Digital Plant Manager, Mark Crawford, assisted the company to become the first in the UK to have the fully integrated Trimble workflow between Spot and the X7.

Mark explains how autonomous Spot was introduced to a working site at the end of 2021:

“This integrated workflow means that not only do we have a ‘working’ dog instead of a ‘show’ dog but it’s also our first robotic employee, who has already been out walking and capturing data across our site in Derby for the last 48 hours.

We spent day one doing business introductions and site inductions with a full site tour for operational familiarisation, plus the expected fun of walking up and down stairs, over obstacles, through the offices and then we got down to some proper work.

Out on its own in the wet and windy weather we’ve completed its first solo fieldwalk mission, with a 12 scan set up, all done in 18 minutes of scanning time and 10 minutes of travel – back on the dock and point to point registration and refinement complete in under 10 minutes has resulted in us capturing 65.4 million points and a working model to measure off for our facilities team.

There’s been a lot of buzz and excitement around this platform and integrated solutions and quite rightly so. To be able to get one in, employed and deployed on our sites only heightens that excitement when you start to consider the art of the possible on the journey of robotics and reality capture and automated tasks.”  

Spot podcast – autonomous applications

Following on from the introduction of Spot, Mark teamed up with Trimble’s David Burczyk, Construction Robotics Lead at Trimble Connected Construction, to record a Spot podcast for the Constructive Voices series. This is an extremely informative look at how the business decision to purchase Spot and the X7 was reached and what Balfour Beatty hopes to achieve through this innovative step. Both have plenty of insights to share:

“We’re doing things with a remote operator app which will allow you to remotely operate Spot without having to be physically on the same job site.” David Burczyk, Trimble.

“Sellafield has worked with Spot to take radiation readings…. with a person operating him from a place of safety and the robot goes instead. That’s got to be a win in anybody’s eyes.” Mark Crawford, Balfour Beatty.

KOREC is delighted to announce that following an expansion of the KOREC Rail team, it is better equipped than ever to showcase advances in rail survey and measurement technology:-

PWI Membership

As a new corporate member of the Permanent Way Institution, KOREC will be working closely with the organisation to provide training and upskilling with particular reference to innovative solutions to the rail industry for the construction, measurement and laying of new track and the maintenance of existing lines.

Supporting the PWI Trackwork Challenge

KOREC was also delighted to support the PWI in its recent Practical Trackwork Challenge 2022. This saw the KOREC Rail team spend two days on site at the Churnet Valley Railway, a Heritage Railway which was part of the former North Staffordshire Railways. The renewals site was located on a challenging single line approximately one mile from Froghall Station. The aim of the challenge  was to provide hands-on experience of track renewals for the participants as part of their personal development.

Visit us at Rail Live 2022

KOREC Rail will also be on hand at this year’s Rail Live event (Stand G9) on 22 – 23 June at Long Marston Rail Innovation Centre, Warwickshire. Again, the aim will be on showcasing innovative Trimble technology. As well as a full range of Trimble GEDO and monitoring systems, visitors can expect to see:

Trimble GEDO GX50 – a flexible kinematic laser scanning system designed to operate with Trimble GEDO track measurement systems for clearance analysis and asset data collection. This is the first rail specific trolley solution of its kindand already in use on tracks up and down the country.

Trimble SiteVision – an easy to use Augmented Reality system that combines a low cost GNSS receiver with a Smartphone enabling users to interact with their spatial data in the context of the real world.

New Possession Management system – again using low cost GNSS and KOREC data capture software for reliable marker board recording etc.

Vegas baby!

A demonstration is by far the best way to assess new technology, so as a little extra incentive, we’re offering one lucky person the chance to join us in Las Vegas for Trimble Dimensions this November – including flights, accommodation, and entrance to the conference. To enter, all you need to do is contact a member of the KOREC Rail team and book a demo with us before mid July.

The annual extravaganza that is the Eurovision Song Contest takes place this Saturday, as twenty-four European nations (and, erm, Australia!) compete to take home the trophy.

Now, you may be asking what this has to do with KOREC – very much a UK & Irish based organisation!

Well, besides the fact that Ireland have won the competition more times than anyone else (ahem, seven times!) it turns out that we as a company have European connections all over the shop.

So, to unashamedly jump on the bandwagon, here’s our rundown of KOREC’s Euro-connections across the water…

UK & Ireland

Starting from home, the UK and Ireland are obviously our home nations, with 2 offices in the UK and 1 in Dublin. We also have staff located up and down the country from the tip of Cornwall to the wilds of Northumberland, and everywhere in between. In Eurovision terms, we certainly bat above the average – Ireland won an incredible four times in the 1990s, whilst the UK was last victorious 25 years ago – Katrina and the Waves, anyone?

Sweden

Nothing says Eurovision like Sweden, and for most people it conjures up ABBA’s 1975 triumph with ‘Waterloo’ – which took place right here in Brighton, UK!

Less people may know that Sweden is also home to the SX10 and SX12, the Danderyd facility just outside of Stockholm. A number of lucky KOREC customers had a visit to the high-tech facility back in 2019 to see the incredible technology behind the laser scanning total station.

Read more on this amazing facility in this write-up by Gavin Schrock in xyht magazine

Germany

As well as being one of the Eurovision ‘Big 5’ (countries that get an automatic entry thanks to their financial support) Germany is also a major player when it comes to Trimble. The nation is home not only to Trimble Rail, but also Trimble Mobile Mapping. In fact, as we speak, the KOREC Rail team are all in Germany alongside their counterparts from other Trimble dealers across the continent.

The sleepy town of Biberach, southern Germany is the rather unexpected home of Trimble’s cutting edge, mobile mapping solutions – the MX9 and MX50 – and was the venue for another one of our customer experiences in 2019!

Switzerland

Our next nation is just a short flight across the Alps which, appropriately enough, is the home of drone manufacturer senseFly. Headquartered besides the beautiful Lake Leman, senseFly have been creating robust, lightweight, market-leading drones since 2009, and KOREC have proudly partnered with them pretty much since day one.

The eBeeX is probably their most well-known drone, here it is in action with recent converts, Jacobs;

And the Rest…

As well as being home to many of our partners, a huge number of our European friends have decided to make their home right here in the UK and Ireland. Amongst our colleagues at Trimble and KOREC, we are proud to have representatives from Spain, Portugal, Norway, Hungary, Croatia, and Greece.

And whilst Trimble is of course an American company, in a European singing competition which features Australia, who knows what could happen?

Wherever you’re from and wherever you are now, we hope you have a cracking weekend and enjoy the show!

The final of the Eurovision song contest takes place this Saturday, 14^th May from 8pm

This Monday may be a bank holiday, but this year another holiday is taking place on the same day. Eid al-Fitr (festival of breaking the fast) will be celebrated by Muslims all around the world as the month of Ramadan comes to an end.

But what is Ramadan? Here, KOREC’s Digital Marketing Apprentice Ikra Taj educates us on Ramadan, and what it means to her.

Ramadan is the ninth month in the Islamic calendar and every year the start date varies and is decided at the sighting of the moon. It is a religious ceremony that marks the 30 days in which the Quran (Holy book of Islam) was revealed to our last prophet. This month is possibly the most anticipated month of the Islamic calendar; a month that Muslims across the globe yearn and crave to see again. During Ramadan Muslims spend an entire month fasting from sunset to sunrise, this means we cannot eat or drink anything from sunset to sunrise. Aside from fasting Ramadan is a time for spiritual reflection, to help those in need and to spend time with loved ones.

Every year I often get asked the same questions around fasting. There’s always the interest of how we observe this sacred month and then there’s the shock of how intense the requirements of fasting are:

“So you can’t eat anything from sunset to sunrise?!”

“Not even water?!”

“I could never do that!”

I understand it does sound pretty full on but the reality is Ramadan is doable and so rewarding. It is even scientifically proven that intermittent fasting has multiple health benefits. However, we don’t fast because God wants us to starve, instead it’s a time to empty our stomachs and feed our souls.

Fasting is compulsory for all Muslims although there are some exemptions, some are exempt from fasting due to illnesses, pregnancy or old age. In these cases, If the individual is not able to make up these fasts at a later date, they must feed one poor person for each fast missed.

Ramadan is something I’ve always observed since a young age. For me it is a time of quiet reflection and self-discipline; I like to pray, recite the Quran and give extra charity during this month to better myself and improve my character. It’s also a time where I am conscious of my actions more so than on a typical day as I want to be rewarded by God for the good I do in this month.

In my younger years Ramadan for me often used to be a challenge, all I thought about was food and often I spent my days counting down the hours to sunset so I could eat. Luckily this has changed! As I’ve grown older I normally overcome the effects of fasting within the first few days, the body does adjust fairly fast and although I miss my guilty pleasures the feeling of fasting makes me so much happier.

Instead of having food on my mind I make the effort to spend more time with my family, prepare meals for my loved ones and increase my remembrance of God. Working from home also has its benefits as I am able to preserve my energy by not traveling or walking around much. It also helps when working in an environment where those around you care and help you through this month, the little things like getting checked up on by work colleagues during my working day always brings a smile to my face and makes this month that much more amazing. So a special thank you to Stuart and Harriet who have looked after me well and been so understanding, I appreciate you!

As a small cake business owner my days are always busy with a high influx of orders coming in, from everyone wanting to gift their friends and family edible gifts to celebrate Ramadan. I love this part, as my spare time is spent doing what I love and bringing smiles to faces.

So the question remains why do we fast in Ramadan?

Firstly, it is one of the pillars of Islam (obligatory acts Muslims must carry out). The Quran also states those who believe must fast. Fasting has been a way of those way before us and its intention is to make us more conscious of our Lord. When we see our physical intake of blessings i.e. food being taken away from us we instantly become more mindful of who bestowed those blessings upon us. This makes us grateful and In turn helps us live positively and do good. As well as withholding food we must stay away from using bad language, smoking, immoral acts and anger.

When a Muslim predecessor once asked “why is fasting instituted?” It was replied by “so that the rich will taste hunger and thus will not forget the hungry”. Through the experience of fasting we gain a greater depth of understanding for those who have little or no food, this helps us to have more empathy. Therefore, during Ramadan Muslims push to be charitable by donating to charities and feeding the less fortunate.

What may surprise some is that Muslims enjoy Ramadan so much that they grieve when it comes to an end. We come to the realisation that true happiness is in feeding the soul and being satisfied with your sustenance, that prayer is better than sleep and that charity is better than consumption.

Last month we said goodbye to one of our longest-serving employees – and in doing so closed a chapter of KOREC’s history.

When Group Financial Controller Helen Palmer (nee Walsh) decided to ‘hang up her abacus’ after 22 years in the business, there ended the last connection to the original founders of Survey Supplies.

A Little History Lesson

Survey Supplies was founded in Liverpool by father and son, George and Graham Walsh in 1967. As with many family enterprises, Helen Walsh, Graham’s daughter and George’s granddaughter, was roped in to assist – working in the finance department as a teenager during her summer holidays.

Helen clearly caught the bug – heading to university to study Maths with statistics, and then training as a Chartered Accountant with a firm in Liverpool.

In 1999 Helen returned to the finance department at Survey Supplies. When Survey Supplies Ireland was established– a brand new enterprise for the company, Helen was tasked with the accounting functions.

One of the most significant changes came in 2005 when current CEO Alan Browne purchased Survey Supplies, and rebranded the organisation to KOREC. Although clearly a significant change for Helen, she confesses that these later years have been the ones she will look back on most fondly.

A Fond Farewell

Never one to miss out on a party, Helen made the decision to retire at the tail end of 2021 – giving the KOREC team plenty of time to plan her farewell party.

The team didn’t disappoint. A night out at Bongo’s Bingo (bingo – but not as you know it!) was enjoyed by the Liverpool office team, although Helen was gutted not to take home the glitterball helmet…

A rather more sedate party was held in the Liverpool office, where the team enjoyed a buffet feast (thank you Rachel!) and an absolutely giant cake, which Helen ceremoniously cut.

Helen will be greatly missed by all who worked with her – not least Finance Director David Hodkinson who singled out her ‘fantastic work and dedication’ during their 16 years as colleagues.

Happily, Helen is based just up the road from the Crosby office, so we expect to be seeing Helen and getting regular updates on her latest golf handicap / caravan holiday escapades!

From all of us at KOREC, we thank you Helen and wish you many happy years on the golf course!

Trust is a funny thing. It can take years to build, yet can be destroyed in days.

All and any relationships, may they be business or personal, ultimately succeed or fail due to trust.

In the era of fake news, accusations of green-washing, and with faith in our political systems at an all time low (in a recent Ipsos Mori poll, politicians finished in last place in the trust race), we thought it was high time to establish why we think KOREC stands out from the rest.

So we’re launched our 6 pillars of trust – 6 reasons why we think KOREC is an organisation that you can rely on;

We’re Committed!

Tracing our roots back to 1967, KOREC has been in the geospatial business for over 50 years. That sort of longevity doesn’t come easily – and we think proves our commitment to, and expertise of, the industries that we serve.

This longevity is bolstered by geographical spread of KOREC’s regional consultant and technical support teams. In short – we’re located where you are. So whether it’s Enda Fox in Belfast, Leigh Rowell in Northumberland, or Abel Varela Abelleira in London – you know there’s a KOREC-er who knows your area.

Sincerely, Yours

We understand that trust is built from the inside out. The separation caused by COVID and home-working only served to reinforce this fact. Over the past few years, we’ve been working hard on improving our internal company communications. We launched Lunch ‘n’ Learns in 2020, and we introduced Yammer in 2022. Both platforms seek to improve the flow of information around our organisation, ensuring that all colleagues are well-informed and up to date.

We’ve also worked hard on the clarity of our public messaging. After all – you’re busy, we’re busy – so let’s simplify our message and get straight to the point. Our marketing team’s ethos is to get you connected to the right information, or the right person, as quickly as we can.

You Can Lean On Us

We think this one goes without saying, but we are proud to supply the most reliable, robust and trustworthy kit in the geospatial industry.

In just the last few years alone, Trimble has released some extraordinary solutions onto the market – the tilting R12i, wunderkid X7 scanner, Catalyst DA2 and MX50 mobile mapping system to name a few.

As many surveyors will know, not all survey equipment is created equal, and it pains us to see surveyors suffering with kit that fails in the lightest of rain showers. It’s very much a part of our mission to connect you with the right kit for the job – in order to make your life easier.

Integrity – it’s Integral to Us

Forgive us the wordplay. Rather than selling you a one-off bit of kit, we strive to provide end-to-end solutions that solve your complete problem – not just a part of it. It’s our belief that employing one solution from one provider increases your efficiencies and smoothens your workflow – not to mention just one port of call if you need help or assistance!

Core Competency

A section of the business that brings us pride are our office-based and regional technical support teams. In annual surveys and feedback forms, these guys are usually voted the top of the bunch (much to the chagrin of other departments!)

But this is no accident. Both our sales and support teams undergo rigorous training – both at the beginning of the job, and throughout. With the majority of our team being trained surveyors and engineers in their own right, they certainly understand the pain points that you experience.

A Lovely Consistency

Taking all of the above into account, whether it be training, education, equipment or messaging, we aim to be consistent in all that we do. With a growing organisation operating across 2 nations, this is a constant challenge that needs constant work. How do we do it?

Regular, clear and constructive communication is encouraged throughout KOREC from the top-down – whether it’s CEO Alan’s video updates, our regular, informative Lunch ‘n’ Learns, or our bi-annual get togethers.

Transparency

Okay we said 6, but here’s 1 more for luck. We aim to be as transparent as we can. Not only do we regularly ask you, our customers, for your opinion – we also publish the results and share them with you.

So in the spirit of transparency, what do you make of our 6 pillars? Anything we missed out? What else could KOREC be doing to increase your trust?

Why not let us know via this feedback form?
