    At the LBP AGM on Friday 9th February, we were joined by Tim Loughton MP and Great British Bake Off Star Baker, Janusz Domagala who kindly judged the LBP Charity Bake Off.

    Tim's first task was to tuck his tie away to avoid trailing it into the bakes and then both judges expertly sliced the bakes and loaded their plates ready to sample each and every entry.

    Commencing with the very impressive Kids entries, they sampled Teddy Bear Cookies through to Carrot and Courgette Flat Cake and were amazed with the hidden surprise in the Rainbow Smartie Cake. Finally selecting the following winners:

    Kids Category:

    Winner - Tia-May age 14 yrs from Fizz Creations for her Bobble Hat Cake.

    With the prize collected by Lawrence Boon MD of Fizz Creations






    Runner-Up - Isla age 11yrs from Priavo Security for her Nutella Stuffed Cookies.

    With Isla's proud Mum Michele Goering pictured with Janusz.


    Then it was onto the Savory category with a variety of delicious bakes to sample including various favoured loafs, Sausage Pies and Chilli Con Carne Cake. Both Judges immediately agreed the following results:



    Savoury Category:

    Winner - Andie & Emily from Auctioneer's Kitchen for their Black Pudding & Pork Scotch Eggs, with eggs cooked to perfection. 

    Michael Simmons from Shoreham Vehicle Auction collected their award from Janusz, but we later caught up with Andie & Emily to hear they will be opening to the general public from 1st March 2024.


    Runner-Up - Andrew Goodchild from Paula Rosa Manhattan for his flavourful Chilli & Cheese Lactose Free Loaf.



    Finally the judges moved onto the Sweet category which was full to the brim of amazing gateaux,  cup cakes and tray bakes. There was Red Velvet 20th Anniversary Cake from HR Smart, a Logo'd Fizz Creations spectacular and even a bouquet of cupcake flowers. What a difficult category to decide! The judges did their best to select from all types of cakes but were finally split between two entries:


    Sweet Category:

    Winner - Marie MacBain from Paula Rosa Manhattan tipped the scales with her amazing showstopper Triple Chocolate/Vanilla Cake with Oreo Buttercream Filling.

    Lee Golby collected the trophy from Janusz but we later caught up with Marie pictured above with Andrew.


    Runner-Up - Riina Mcloughlin from 

    Sussex Transport provided a perfectly baked Black Forest Gateau, merely pipped to the post by the complexity of Marie's showstopper.

    When the judging was over we thanked our judges for their meticulous job and were assured dinner would now need to be a lite bite for both of them. 

    We would like to thank the AGM attendees who sampled the cakes and gave handsomely towards the pot. In total this event raised £540 for Electric Storm Youth and all leftover cakes were taken back to treat those attending Electric Storm Youth's youth event the following day.

    LBP would like to thank:

    • Tim Loughton and Janusz Domagala for judging
    • Sussex Transport and Little Concepts for supplying the baking trophies 
    • Fizz Creations for providing gift bags to give to all the kids who entered
    • Everyone who entered for all their wonderful hard work
    • All donators.

    It was an enjoyable day for a great cause as we say goodbye to Electric Storm Youth.

    As everyone struggles with the increases, businesses are facing astronomical energy bills. Fine Cut saw their electricity costs double in just one year and in a business environment, reducing energy costs can be very difficult.


    Machines need to run and lights need to be on continually, so cutting back on output was not a feasible option.

    With this in mind, they looked at internal strategies they could put in place to reduce their energy output. The first step was to insulate the entire factory wherever possible. By identifying the areas which needed attention, such as where they had suspended ceilings and the air temperature could not be maintained - they started insulating all these ceilings. The results have been dramatic and these areas now maintain a workable temperature and have had an instant reduction in gas and electricity usage.

    Along with doing what they could internally, Fine Cut had the entire premises roof reclad ahead of their solar project, as it was crucial that the roof was in good order before the solar panels were install.

    The next steps towards solar powered energy was to apply for a grant and go through the tender process to vet potential contractors. Their forecast indicated that solar should generate 40-50% of their energy required annually, and a saving of £30k a year, so it was a worthy investment going forward...

    Please click the image below for an overview of the project savings.

    LBP are so pleased to report that everyone's hard work paid off and four LBP businesses were featured on last Friday's National BBC News at 1pm, 6pm and 10pm.

    Faisal Islam and his crew spent two days filming on the park interviewing LBP businesses, to accompany the National BBC News report on the latest GDP announcement.

    LBP is excited to confirm the BBC News Team were very impressed with all interviewees and the sheer size of Lancing Business Park, along with the diversity of business sectors based here. Before leaving, the crew asked if they could contact LBP for future reports, which LBP encouraged avidly.

    LBP would like to thank and congratulate everyone who helped make this opportunity possible and for all the interviewees who were amazing!

    The following businesses were featured on 10th November:


    Dominic Boon, Finance Director for Fizz Creations was featured on the 1pm slot:


    Emily Sparrow – Finance Director for Paula Rosa Manhattan was featured on the 1pm, 6pm and 10pm slots:


    Lucy Iago – Owner of Iagos Café was featured on the 1pm, 6pm and 10pm slots:


    David Barr – Co-Owner of Brighton Sausage Co was featured on the 6pm and 10pm slots:

    Watch out for more coverage on today's National BBC News at 6pm and a longer piece at 10pm.

    One of LBP’s key priorities is to raise the profile of Lancing Business Park and the businesses who are based here. As a result of LBP’s promotional work, we have now developed a relationship with the BBC’s Economic News Crew.

    LBP are very pleased to announce that BBC News has now completed two days of filming on the park, creating a Lancing Business Park news piece. Faisal Islam, BBC Economics Editor and his crew have prepared this piece to report on the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) announcement due today.

    It is hoped this piece will feature on today’s 1pm, 6pm and 10pm National BBC News.

    Unfortunately, it’s not guaranteed to air today, as this will depend on whether any global events hit the headlines, overriding the planned reporting schedule. LBP therefore have our fingers crossed that world events are calmer today and LBP businesses are rewarded with National BBC News coverage.

    LBP wishes every business on the park could have been featured, but this only the start of this relationship and we hope to promote more businesses in the future. BBC News specified a business sector brief for LBP to work to and then selected from the list of potential businesses LBP submitted.

    LBP would like to thank all businesses who agreed at short notice to be considered and special thanks to following businesses who were chosen as they wonderfully represented the park.


     Damian Pulford – LBP Chairman and MD of Sussex Transport represented LBP and explained the current economic climate in our area.


    Dominic Boon, Finance Director for Fizz Creations in Commerce Way, explained the financial changes in global shipping and the retail sector.



    Emily Sparrow – Finance Director for Paula Rosa Manhattan described the current economic climate in the manufacturing and construction industries.



    David Barr – Co-Owner of Brighton Sausage Co at Wayside in Commerce Way detailed the impact of food price inflation on food manufacturing and the food retail sector.


                                                                           


    Lucy Iago – Owner of Iagos Café in Marlborough Road, outlined the impact of rising costs on the catering industry and the reduction in customers disposable income.



    With the nature of reporting, we have no idea which of these interviews will make it through editing, but LBP are very proud of all these brave business leaders, who spoke so eloquently on behalf of their business and the park.

    Please keep an eye out, as LBP will be posting all the features aired as today progresses.

    LBP businesses will receive news soon of a Brighton Sausage Co Member Offer for their high quality, high welfare English produce, including Ethical Bronze Turkeys for Christmas.

    Cllr Angus Dunn, Adur's Cabinet Member for Finance and Resources, said:

    “We are committed to working with businesses in Lancing to help them thrive and boost the local economy, which benefits everyone.

    “The BID has a proven track record over the years of promoting local businesses and attracting investment, as well as benefiting the environment thanks to innovative shared schemes.

    “The BID helps safeguard businesses, as well as providing future competitiveness and prosperity by helping to decide where the spending priorities lie and helping provide improved services where needed.”



    Damian Pulford, BID Chairman and MD of Sussex Transport said:

    “Thanks to Adur District Council for their continued support of Lancing BID. We are a Business Improvement District; a local business community supporting our members to navigate business issues and encourage growth.

    “A successful BID works collaboratively with good communication and shared understanding. Communities thrive through working together and we appreciate all our members', stakeholders' and partners' support and input.
