HLM architects, with offices in Plymouth, London, and across the UK, have passed their Business Information Model (BIM) audit. The business now joins only a handful of companies to have been awarded the prestigious BIM certification through the BRE BIM Level 2 Business Systems Certification scheme ahead of the government’s April 2016 deadline for public sector project compliance.
The certification provides HLM with industry-recognised BIM credentials and enables them to meet the UK government’s requirements for all public sector construction projects to be built using BIM by 2016....
Hospiscare, if you think about it, is a strange name for a charity.
It looks like a spelling mistake! If you were naming a new charity today you would pick something different, more dynamic and action focussed.
But 34 years ago, yes that’s how long we’ve been around, it made perfect sense. In fact it was a touch of genius!
Isca is the Roman name for Exeter, so we thought we would bring together the three things we did - Hosp(ice) Isca (Exeter) and Care. What a great name, capturing all the essential elements of the service we were starting. Hospiscare, Exeter’s own...
Line Up is an exhibition of contemporary hand-made objects, curated by interior stylist and author Sania Pell. First on show at London’s Flow gallery, the exhibition has now reached Devon, and reveals the art of interior design as seen in magazines such as Wallpaper and Elle Decoration.
Inspiration for the show derived from the collections at Kettle’s Yard historic house and gallery (Cambridge), where curator Jim Ede integrated his own art and craft collections into the setting of his domestic home. The 17 artists Pell has selected are frequently featured in her editorial shoots....

The Mandolin Orchestra of Devon has been running for several years and has performed at many events to critical acclaim, including the London Mandolin Festival and the Banjo, Mandolin and Guitar Foundation rally.
In the early twentieth century the mandolin had something of a golden age. Across the country there were ensembles springing up in every major town, some were a mixture of banjo, guitar and mandolin, others were mandolin orchestras. Some played to a professional level, but many were amateur groups who met socially and played at local events. A large corpus of music was...
Thomas Waldrom finished top of the try pile for 2015 and the Exeter No.8 is hoping to replicate the feat this time round as his double helped the Chiefs to victory over Gloucester.
The free-scoring forward, who scored 16 touchdowns last season, took his tally to eight for this term with a first half brace that enabled Rob Baxter’s side to keep up their pursuit of Saracens at the top of the Aviva Premiership table.
Winger Olly Woodburn added a third score, while fly-half Gareth Steenson wrapped up the job with two conversions of his own...
Exeter City’s replay at Anfield means the club is set for a cash windfall, estimated to be worth up to £700,000.
That is the equivalent to a year’s wage bill. A win would have secured about a month’s worth.
The Grecians put in a gritty performance against Liverpool’s Kindergarten Klopps – a reference to the inexperienced team the Premier League-side manager fielded.
They earned a 2-2 draw, and the praise of the often-cynical London press.
The replay is expected to take place within the next ten days, although no date has been set.
NHS doctors are urging people across Devon to get vaccinated against flu at their local pharmacy, under a new scheme introduced this winter.

The pharmacy scheme aims to increase uptake of the vaccine, especially among people who are under the age of 65 but have a medical condition that makes them more...
