Wellness Retailer Boosts Subscription Sales with 3PL Partnership

Prior to collaborating with Zendbox, the technology-driven eCommerce fulfilment specialist, Awesome Supplements faced numerous obstacles that impeded their growth. Their prior experience with a 3PL provider was plagued by communication difficulties, damaged goods, stock management issues, and an inability to support their expansion into the European market. These challenges not only compromised operational efficiency but also threatened the brand’s reputation due to a poor customer experience.

The solution for Awesome Supplements emerged when they transitioned to Zendbox as their subscription fulfilment partner. Zendbox’s holistic approach addressed the shortcomings of their former 3PL by providing not only a robust third-party logistics solution but also a collaborative partnership. From the seamless onboarding process to ongoing support, Zendbox proactively assisted the sports nutrition brand. With Zendbox’s reliable systems eradicating previous stock and order problems, Awesome Supplements regained the confidence and peace of mind to focus on their growth journey. The partnership optimised their eCommerce operations, enhanced customer experience, and positioned the business well for future expansion into new markets.

Charlotte Thompson, Managing Director at Awesome Supplements, commented: “The fulfilment provider we were with before Zendbox was a small company that offered a degree of flexibility for our business, but also meant we experienced more challenges. For example, we had a lot of communication issues with the provider. There were also a lot of issues with damages, goods going missing, and goods not being booked into stock – the usual difficulties with that type of 3PL and the need to handle a lot of products. We also wanted to expand into Europe and beyond, which the provider wasn’t capable of doing at the time.”

“Unlike our previous pick and pack specialist, which felt like an outsourced operation, Zendbox feels more like an extension of our team. Their onboarding process was spot on, and we rarely have any stock issues like we did in the past. The ability to raise a Goods Receiving Order (GRO) on Zendportal is also really useful and eliminates issues we had booking goods into stock with our previous eCommerce 3PL. We were looking to grow as a brand and we knew Zendbox could help with that.”

The partnership has restored the high-quality fulfilment experience that customers have come to expect when they order from the brand, allowing Awesome Supplements to focus on the next phase of their growth.

With the brand now shipping orders seamlessly and cost-effectively across Europe from a centralised UK location, Charlotte believes the collaborative approach from Zendbox is key to ensuring success with any further expansion plans.

She adds: “As a small team at Awesome Supplements, partnering with Zendbox means we never worry about the state of our stock or about orders going out on time. The order turnaround rate has always been very robust and, therefore, gives me a lot of confidence and peace-of-mind. Zendbox is a big fulfilment provider that’s got their act together. I trust their processes and the team is great.”

James Khoury, Founder & CEO of Zendbox, concluded: “Proactive, collaborative, and customer-centric support from Zendbox means Awesome Supplements benefits from a fulfilment solution that meets their needs at every stage of growth. This ensures the brand can better manage its supply chain and continuously fulfil its promises to customers with a fast, accurate and reliable service.”

Demystifying Credit Scores: Understanding Their Impact on Your Financial Health

If you have ever tried to take a loan, rent a house, or are keen on your financial details, then you have probably heard of the term “credit score.” However, do you know what this term implies? A credit score is one of the key indicators of your financial health or well-being is your credit score. There is more to this term that we will be explaining on this post. Keep reading the next chapters for more information.

What is a credit score?

A credit score is a three-digit number that provides insight into your creditworthiness. There are different models for expressing a credit score. The most popular scoring model uses a range of 300 to 850. A credit score is normally an indicator of your financial life jotted in a few numbers. It indicates your history of borrowing and repaying money. The higher your credit score is, the more trustworthy creditors will consider you to be.

A credit score is usually calculated using your credit report. Your credit report contains information like how many bank accounts you have had and how long they have been open. Your credit report also contains information about your payment history, whether you make payments on time, your bank account balances, and every other important financial detail. All this information is used to come up with a number (credit score) that indicates how likely you are to repay a loan or make payments on time.

Why and when do you need to know your credit score and report?

Normally, your credit score will come in handy when you want to borrow money, rent a house or an apartment, or even when you are opening a utility account. In simpler terms, a credit score and report are normally required when you are asking an entity to trust you with the ability to pay your bills fully and on time. For instance, when renting an apartment, the owner or the renter would like to be assured that you will be able to pay your rent on time and fully. This is why renters and landlords will always take your credit score into account.

Lenders also use a credit score to determine if you qualify for a loan and what your loan terms should be, like the interest rates and repayment period. This is why most, if not all, lenders normally have a minimum credit score requirement that all borrowers must meet before they have a chance to get their loans approved. Credit card companies also use credit scores to determine if they can issue someone with a credit card and the terms of the card.

Norton for data protection

Your credit score and report are not details that should get into the wrong hands. However, it is information that you need to keep track of like you do your physical health. You need to know what your credit score is and keep track of important information that could affect your financial health. Even if you do not need an immediate loan, keeping track of this information will come in handy in the future.

Norton credit report and score tracker is the perfect tool for this. This program will help you keep track of your credit score and report information. By doing so, you can spot any inaccuracies and be able to catch any fraudulent activities on time. Additionally, it will help you take the necessary steps to protect your financial information. Some of the advantages of using this credit report and score tracker are:

• You can check your credit score and report using this tool.

• There is information to help you understand your credit score and how it is calculated.

• You can use the Norton Identity Advisor Plus tool to dispute any credit errors in your credit report.

• Thanks to credit alerts, you can monitor key changes to your credit report and score.

• You’ll get round the clock customer support.

Conclusion

While your credit score is very important, lenders also normally consider information like your income, existing debit, and your general credit report to determine whether to approve your application. Therefore, in addition to keeping track of your credit score, you also have to keep track of your overall financial report and details. This way, when time comes for you to rent a place, seek a loan, or even get a credit card, you are not met by any surprises. Before you even go to a lender, you should know that you meet the criteria to qualify for lending.

Petition Urges LTA to Reconsider Closure of Youth Tennis Programmes in London

A petition has been launched, calling on the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) to reverse its decision to terminate all Youth Tennis Community Programmes (ages 5 to 16) at the National Tennis Centre (NTC) in London.

The LTA Youth Programmes have been vital in developing new talent, providing high-quality coaching and resources that many children would otherwise not have access to. These programmes have made tennis accessible to players from diverse socio-economic backgrounds, ensuring inclusivity and representation.

As a consequence of this decision, over 220 children will be compelled to find privately run tennis clubs and coaches to continue playing tennis and begin their careers as tennis players.

Evan Michaels, who is behind the petition, remarked: “After another year with no British players making it to the second week of Wimbledon, it’s clear that the LTA needs to realise that the future of British tennis lies with the young generation, not just the current elite.

“These programmes are the cornerstone of the LTA’s mission, fostering grassroots and youth tennis development, and are essential for nurturing future British and Wimbledon champions.

“The LTA management are refusing to reconsider their decision and they are harming the future of British tennis.

“We are urging everyone to publicise this petition and support our cause. Your coverage can make a difference in ensuring that the National Tennis Centre continues to nurture young talent and invest in the future of British tennis.”

The petition aims to persuade the Lawn Tennis Association and National Tennis Centre management to reconsider the closure of the junior programmes.

Evan added: “We want to ensure that grassroots tennis continues to thrive at the NTC, keeping the doors open to all ages, skill levels, colours, and socioeconomic backgrounds.

“It is crucial to embrace and develop future champions by maintaining these critical youth programmes and open up tennis to everyone, not just the elite and the wealthy.”

It takes a strong leader to guide your team through the challenges of event management. Proficient leaders stimulate, encourage, and guarantee that all members collaborate towards a shared objective.

Group Supervision

Effective leadership is essential when overseeing a varied group of people with different tasks and responsibilities. Having open lines of communication, establishing clear expectations, and offering assistance are essential to good team management. Creating a cohesive team that functions effectively together may have a big influence on your event’s success.

Assigning

An essential ability for event organisers is delegation. By delegating particular duties to your team members, you free up your time to concentrate on managing the overall project. Effective task delegation guarantees that every facet of the occasion is handled without putting undue strain on oneself.

Techniques for Motivation

Maintaining team motivation is essential, particularly in high-stress situations. Boosting morale and productivity may be achieved by using motivating strategies including positive reinforcement, team-building exercises, and individual accomplishment recognition. A team that is driven will probably go above and beyond to make sure the event is a success.

Technical Proficiency

Technical expertise is becoming more and more crucial in contemporary event planning. You can improve the overall experience of your event and expedite the planning process by knowing how to use technology successfully.

Knowledge of Event Management Programmes

A lot of the planning process may be made simpler using event management software, from scheduling and communication to ticketing and registration. Knowing how to use these tools can help you organise your event more effectively and save time. Sites like Whova, Cvent, and Eventbrite are examples of well-known event management software.

Knowledge of A/V Technology

Technology that is audio-visual is essential to many occasions. Gaining a basic grasp of audiovisual equipment, including projectors, sound systems, and microphones, will help you make sure that presentations and performances go well. It’s also helpful to know how to handle common difficulties and coordinate with AV specialists.

Fundamental Accounting and Budgeting

Maintaining your spending within reasonable bounds and making sure that all required costs are met need careful planning. Simple accounting knowledge makes it easier to handle bills, keep track of expenses, and deploy resources effectively. Spreadsheets and budgeting tools may help you maintain financial organisation.

In summary

Your capacity to organise and carry out effective events may be greatly increased by learning the essential skills needed for event management. These are fundamental qualities for every event management, ranging from innovative problem-solving and skilled leadership to strong organisational ability and excellent communication. Technical competency also guarantees that you can use contemporary instruments and technology to improve the process of event planning.

Maintaining current skills is essential in an ever-changing business. Keep abreast of market developments, look for chances for professional growth, and never stop trying to improve your skills. You can organise events that are successful and unforgettable for everyone involved if you put in the necessary effort and have the appropriate skill set.

Thomas Kneale’s Brett Mendell awarded ‘Advocate of the Year’ award

Brett Mendell – the managing director at bedroom and bathroom textiles manufacturer, importer, and distributor Thomas Kneale & Co Ltd – has been honoured with an ‘Advocate of the Year’ award.

This year, Brett has been instrumental in nurturing the growth of the Living Wage network to more than 15,000 Living Wage employers.

And at last night’s Living Wage Champion Awards held in Cardiff, Brett (pictured) was recognised for furthering the Living Wage campaign by using his voice to explain why it is so important to pay people a wage that they can afford to live off.

Brett has conducted multiple BBC Radio Interviews on Radio 4 and 5 Live, provided an employer’s perspective of paying the real living wage in a Sunday Times article regarding in work poverty, featured in multiple national and regional media articles, and highlighted the importance of the real living wage and living hours at multiple sustainability events, summits and conferences across the country.

As well as highlighting how the team at Thomas Kneale receive a rate of pay independently calculated to take into account the cost of living, Brett promotes organisations becoming accredited due to a reduction in staff absence rates, lower labour turnover, recruitment and training costs, and an increase in productivity.

Katherine Chapman, director of the Living Wage Foundation said: “We are thrilled to congratulate this year’s Living Wage Champion Award winners for their outstanding commitment to the real Living Wage. These exemplary employers have gone above and beyond to ensure that all workers are paid enough to live decent lives, demonstrating their dedication to fair pay and dignity in the workplace. After years of high living costs, it is still so important.

“By championing the real Living Wage, these organisations are not only transforming the lives of their employees but are also setting a powerful example within their industries and communities.

“Because of their impressive leadership, record numbers of businesses have been inspired to accredit despite extremely challenging economic conditions, with now over 15,000 employers committed to always paying their workers in line with the cost of living. I warmly congratulate Brett on his well-deserved award and thank him for his support on the Living Wage movement.”

Brett Mendell said: “Thomas Kneale is both Living Wage and Living Hours accredited, as well as employee owned. Our team have told us that paying the real living wage and providing the security of living hours has been so important to them in providing them financial security. In addition to this, there are significant benefits to the organisation – we have seen a substantial reduction in labour turnover, staff absence, recruitment and training costs, and a significant increase in productivity and customer satisfaction.

“Having the opportunity have advocate for the Living Wage Foundation locally, regionally, and nationally, especially on the significance to employees and the knock-on benefits to employers has been with the aim of encouraging more organisations to become accredited. At over 15,000 employers, the movement continues to grow and so it should do!”

The annual Living Wage Champion Awards celebrate individuals and organisations that have made an outstanding contribution to the Living Wage movement. This year they were held in Cardiff for the first time ever in recognition of the strength and growth of the movement in the region. The 2024 awards were supported by sponsors Aviva and Cardiff Vale Credit Union.

Legal expert: What to do if your personal data is breached

Legal expert: What to do if your personal data is breached

A legal expert has revealed what you should do if you find yourself victim of a personal data breach, following the cybercriminal attack on the NHS and Ticketmaster.

A data breach occurs when personal information is accessed by unauthorised individuals or released online or into an uncontrolled environment.

Whether the breach results from human error or a hacker attack, it can be unsettling not knowing where private information might end up.

Last month, a cybercriminal group leaked almost 400GB of NHS data, including patient names, dates of birth, NHS numbers, and blood test descriptions. This incident led to the postponement of 6,000 appointments and procedures.

Data breach claim specialists at SJS Legal have provided advice on what people should do when their data has been compromised.

Niamh Wilson, a Risk and Compliance solicitor at SJS Legal, stated, “We trust many different organisations to keep our information safe, but sometimes our personal data can end up in the wrong hands.

“It’s important to know what to do when your information has been leaked in a data breach so you can protect yourself from further risk.”

Change passwords

Using the same password on multiple accounts is a big ‘no-no’ and learning this when your data has been breached is a tough lesson.

Mrs Wilson said: “We all know we shouldn’t use the same password across multiple accounts but many people do. If your password has been compromised on one website, then it is compromised on others too so it’s important to change them as soon as possible.”

Be wary of potential scams

With personal details now accessible online, criminals might use it to scam people out of their hard-earned cash.

“Scammers might have passwords, card details or other personal information which they can use to impersonate banks and other trustworthy bodies,” said the legal expert.

“Be extra attentive when responding to emails and answering the phone. Stop and think, hang up if you’re not sure and contact your bank through the number or contact method you’re familiar with.”

Tell your bank

First of all, check for any suspicious payments you don’t recall making and flag these to your bank.

Mrs Wilson said: “You can cancel your card yourself and request a new one if you are concerned about it being used, or you can ask your bank to put a marker on your account to increase security checks for suspicious activity.”

Monitor your credit reports

Checking your credit report can help you identify any unusual activity related to credit fraud and identity theft.

Mrs Wilson said: “If your data has fallen into the wrong hands, someone could try to get a loan or credit card using your name and information.

“You can keep an eye on your report or use a monitoring service which does this for you. Some cost but you can find free services, too.”

Seek legal guidance

A solicitor can guide you through a data breach compensation claim, so if you are in any doubt it might be best to seek some professional help.

Mrs Wilson said: “Even if you haven’t been financially affected by your data being breached, you can be entitled to claim compensation for anguish or anxiety caused.

“If you have suffered financial harm as a direct result of the breach, the amount of compensation you might be able to claim would likely be far greater.”

Jewson Partnership Solutions (JPS) has secured an up to 10-year contract worth up to £20
million with Saxon Weald – one of the largest housing associations in Sussex.

The two organisations will partner to support residents in Saxon Weald’s 6,900 rented and shared ownership properties, ensuring ongoing support to improve homes and communities.

As part of the contract, JPS will launch a managed store for Saxon Weald in Horsham, providing operatives with access to JPS’ hand-selected range of products that are identified as key to housing associations’ building and maintenance requirements.

JPS has also provided Saxon Weald with access to AVAIL, its automated replenishment technology, which ensures stock levels are always maintained and materials can be accessed by customers out of hours.

Scott Cooper, managing director of JPS, said: “Saxon Weald has some very specific objectives in terms of what it wants to offer its residents, the local community and its teams. The organisation is customer-led, forward thinking and inclusive, which aligns with our own priorities at JPS.

“Working together, we’ll better support the people on the ground who ensure those values are embedded into every single Saxon Weald property and community, so they can achieve the highest possible standards of housing. With our managed store, and by providing the business with access to AVAIL, we will help Saxon Weald continue to achieve its objectives, maintaining its reputation as a well-respected, committed housing provider with people at the heart of its business.”

Kath Hicks, executive director of customer operations at Saxon Weald said: “Ensuring we provide the highest quality repairs service to our customers is at the heart of what we do as a housing provider.

“The partnership with JPS will support us to achieve this, both through the provision of the managed store and access to local branches across our operating area. We are excited by the potential of the AVAIL system and the benefits this should deliver in terms of customer service.”
