Reed began on the 7th May 1960 when Alec Reed, then aged 26, opened the first Reed branch in Hounslow, West London. He started with just £75 and worked alone for a year. Perhaps Reed's greatest achievement is that from these modest beginnings the company has grown organically, and not by acquisition, into a business with over 2000 Co-Members (staff) and 280 branches that generated sales of £373 million last year. Reed has grown by giving clients what they want - the right people - and has won a growing number of clients by continually innovating and improving the service it has to offer. Reed is committed to delivering The Intelligent Response, and this has been a consistent theme since the company began. Thanks to Alec Reed's entrepreneurial flair the company quickly emerged from the pack, not least because it approached the market in new and original ways. Reed was the first recruitment company to offer specialist recruitment services. This began with the creation of Reed Executive, Reed Accountancy and Reed Nursing Personnel in the early 1960s. At least another dozen specialist niches have been developed since. Reed's move into specialisation fundamentally changed the UK recruitment market. In the 1960s Reed expanded rapidly and with its strategy to secure prominent, prime site locations to attract the best candidates for its clients, it developed a distinctive brand on the High Street. This early combination of presence, innovation and specialisation made the brand instantly recognisable to a wide public. Following its first decade of success, the company was floated on the London Stock Exchange in 1971. The Company was once again taken private and delisted from the London Stock Exchange in 2003. To this day the founder's entrepreneurial spirit is fundamental to the company's culture and to its approach to the market. James Reed, Chief Executive and son of Alec, has announced Reed is pursuing a Venture Peoplist business model, which means that it will be investing in, and pursuing new business opportunities that centre on people and people resourcing. Reed prides itself on being an organisation that continues to innovate and specialise and that will rise to meet any challenge, however great.

Definition of Risk: “Bad things happen, people could get blamed” or “Good things happen, people may not know.” Risk Management challenges and performance objectives go hand-in-hand for a global organization, post 9/11 and post Sarbanes Oxley, taking everything from Governance Performance, Compliance, Fraud, Cyber Crime, Concept Theft, Workplace Discrimination and Confidentiality Breaches into account as contemporary threats in today's business world. However, the traditional deterrents of stand-alone manual, or isolated, internal control processes, periodic audits, specialty devices and electronic barriers no longer meet the needs of these high-risk business environments. The horizontal, organization-wide thinking of "Integrated Risk Management" is essential for survival, performance and sustained success. Integrated risk management is the consideration of all risks to an organization and the creation of responses that utilize current assets and consider the entire organization before program implementation. It includes a fundamental shift from a vertical, top-down, organizational structure and thought pattern to one that is horizontal and company inclusive. A risk in one department is a risk to the entire organization and must be considered as such. The result is enhanced performance of an organization through risk management solutions that in turn provide efficient, low-cost, sustained competitive advantage.

"Environmentally Responsible SPURS Line and Net Cuter Systems is meeting the challenge by preventing oil seal damage from line and net intrusion in the seal and bearing area of medium and large vessles. Since the Oil Pollution act of 1990 (imposing heavy penalties for oil leaks), the US Coast Guard has been ordered to advise vessels that " the source of the leak must be immediately secured." Whether long line, drift netting, floating tow lines or dock lines, SPURS propeller mounted Large and Medium Vessel Line and Net Cutter is designed to cut away lines, nets, etc. before entanglement begins. This minimizes costly diving charges, bearing the seal damage, and idle dry-dock time. As line is grabbed by the propeller, it is wound toward the propeller hub and picked up by the rotating cutter blade, where it is instantly cut, forward to reverse, and washed away, clearing the propeller with each revolution.

Tuticorin, India

Tuticorin Port was incorporated in 1974 as the tenth major port of the country. The port is situated about 540 Km South West of Chennai with Sri Lanka on the South-East direction and very close to the East-West International sea routes. Tuticorin port, developed as an artificial deep-sea harbour with 400 hectares of protected water area, has come up as one of the major centre for coastal shipping and serves to the states of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and parts of Kerala. Tuticorin port, which was the centre for maritime trade and pearl fishery for more than a century, had gone through the hands of Portuguese and Dutch before coming under the control of East India Company of Britain. The British company had developed the natural harbour port and connected it with the Railway. It was declared as a minor anchorage port in 1868. In the pre-independence era, the port had witnessed a sprouting trade by handling a wide range of cargo with the neighbouring countries as well as with other coastal ports of the country. With the changing scenario of maritime trade, the Union Government constructed a new harbour and the port had come up as the 10th Major Port on 11th July, 1974. In 1979, the erstwhile anchorage port / minor port was merged with the newly developed harbour to form an integrated port. The integrated Tuticorin Port presently comprises of two operational wings - 'Zone - A' representing the new Major Port while 'Zone - B' representing the old anchorage port. Future plan With the increasing use of containers in sea trade, Tuticorin Port, having the locational advantages, strives to become the container transhipment hub of South India and accordingly planned to develop the port infrastructure and other port facilities. Deepening of approach channel and harbour basin to accommodate 10.7 metres draught vessels, construction of cargo berth No.-7, augmentation of water supply facilities, construction of shallow water berth at 7.0 metres level are the major projects taken up by the port. The proposed 'Sethu Samudram Ship Canal Project', which envisages cutting a canal for passage of ships from Gulf of Mannar to Palk Straits, would connect the Tuticorin port to the other Indian ports on the East Coast directly. The project is likely to facilitate the development of Tuticorin as a regional hub for South Asia competing with Colombo Port.

They are installed in the drivelines and power trains of off-highway equipment. They manage and control the horsepower generated by electric motors and internal combustion engines. They are seldom seen, but they go into machines that contribute to the standard of our lives. They're found in fishing boats, work boats and pleasure craft, farm tractors, irrigation pumps, crash-fire-rescue vehicles, mining equipment, oil field, construction, logging and railway equipment, just to name a few. They help feed us, build roads, cities and homes, provide natural resources, transport us, defend us and influence our lives daily in many unnoticed but critical ways. The company has grown in product offerings and is ISO 9001 certified, with global manufacturing in three world sectors and worldwide distribution capabilities. And for a company with such unique products to have led power management for over 75 years, its leaders had to know how to seize its moments as well as anticipate the future.
