Tuesday 09 March 2010 Waste Management News

Uxbrigde-based Ethos Recycling was formerly known as Sweeney Environmental

Administrator Pitman Cohen LLP, which is based in West London, confirmed today (March 9 2010) to letsrecycle.com that the company was placed into administration on February 25 but has since been sold to Ethos Environmental Management Limited, which has a number of similar shareholders.Ethos Recycling had operated from its base in Uxbridge and has promoted itself as delivering a high rate of recycling from the material it collected.

Ethos purchased the project after the firm originally set to develop the pyrolysis with gasification plant, Compact Power, entered administration in September 2007 (see letsrecycle.com story). Ethos was also pledged the grant money to be issued to Compact by Defra and originally stated for the project as being £5 million.
However, Ethos withdrew from the project without completing the requisite number of operational hours before the deadline for the Project's report stage on March 31 2009 (see letsrecycle.com story).
Ethos was unavailable for comment.
As an Ex-Employee of this company I might add that they didnt pay the staff that they laid off and even under the new company they are still not paying the staff on time.
I phoned every day for over a month asking when I was going to get my final salary payment and redundancy pay, only to be told it was coming soon..I now have to claim the money through the govenment and will get a fraction of what I am owed.
If you are reading this and have any intention of doing business with the directors ot the new company, I would not give credit as you are unlikely to ever get paid.. the company had a bad payment record even when they were trading.. In my 40+ years of working I have never been treated so badly or been lied to so much.

Types of Sleep Disorders

Sleep disorders are a highly common medical issue that affects millions of Americans each year. While some people suffer from mild sleeping problems, such as the occasional nightmare, others have extremely severe sleep disorders that can negatively affect their health if left untreated.

In fact, 95 percent of people suffering from a sleep disorder remain undiagnosed. This staggering number means that a huge number of people aren’t getting the treatment they need, putting them in danger of permanently damaging their health.

Maintaining good health in today’s society often depends upon just how well your health insurance coverage applies to your lifestyle and needs. A little effort can save you a lot of money…compare the offers of several health insurance programs and choose the one that’s best for you.

In this section, we will outline and examine various types of sleep disorders. Our articles discuss everything from the causes and effects of sleep deprivation to the prevalence of sleep disorders in women and children. Read on to learn more about different types of sleep disorders.

Lack of Sleep

At some point in life, you are likely to suffer from lack of sleep. However, while your lifestyle, work demands and family responsibilities may keep you from getting the sleep you need, a chronic lack of sleep can trigger the development of serious conditions, including heart disease, depression and hypertension. Common symptoms of lack of sleep include fatigue, blurry vision and irritability.

Excessive Sleep

Although many people suffer from sleep disorders that prevent them from falling and staying asleep, a select group of people actually get too much sleep. Known in medical circles as hypersomnia, excessive sleep is clinically defined as getting more than 10 hours of sleep per night and still experiencing daytime drowsiness.

 

While the particular causes of excessive sleep vary with each individual case, in most instances, treatment for this type of sleep disorder involves making some lifestyle changes. Read on to learn more about the causes of and treatments for excessive sleep.

Disrupted Sleep

Any condition in which your sleep doesn’t follow the typical sleep phase cycle or doesn’t stay in one or more cycles for long enough is a disrupted sleep disorder. Those who have disrupted sleep tend to not only get less sleep but also to not experience as deep of sleep. Unfortunately, this often means that these individuals don’t reach the levels of sleep necessary to be considered “restorative sleep.”

 

Keep reading to learn more about the causes, symptoms and treatments for disrupted sleep.

Kids & Sleep Disorders

Diagnosing and treating sleep disorders in children is particularly difficult because kids not only tend to be less likely to accurately describe their symptoms but they also suffer from different symptoms, depending on their particular sleeping problem. Similarly, children are more likely to suffer from sleeping problems that don’t affect adults, making it hard for some parents to even recognize that their children have a sleep disorder.

 

Some of the common sleep disorders that affect children include night terrors, nightmares and bedwetting. Read on to learn more about the causes of and treatments for sleep disorders in children.

Women & Sleep

Women are twice as likely than men to suffer from sleep disorders. Approximately 30 percent of employed women suffer from sleep conditions. Although menopausal and pregnant women are far more likely to suffer from a sleep disorder (mainly due to the dramatic hormonal changes each of these experiences), all women are, in fact, two times more likely than men to experience a sleep disorder.

To whom it may concern:

I phoned my Ex-employer Ethos Recycling Ltd. every day for over a month to be told I would be paid and perhaps tomorrow?

I have had no wages since December and was made redundant on the 14th January 2010

I dont wish to sound too bitter but the truth is, I have been lied to along with many other employees. My many emails and texts have not been acknoweldeged by the M.D. of the company Mr Jenner.If you intend to do any business with the management of the new company, I suggest you ask for payment in advance.

If the New Directors would like to sue me for slander, please go ahead and prove to me  and others that all that I have just said is not true.. I

Below is the email I have just received from the Administrator:

Dear Mr Farey

I have been advised that you have telephoned this office on a number of occasions in respect of the above named Company. I am sorry that I am unable to assist you too far in your enquiries but my instructions only came on the 25^th February to act as Administrator and prior to that, whilst I was assisting the Directors, I did not have anything to do with the day to day management of the Company and nor was I involved in the finances of the Company.

I understand not only from yourself but from others that some 15 or 20 members of staff were dismissed before the end of January but that the Company did not have sufficient funds to deal with their claims for termination of employment, redundancy if applicable, money in lieu of notice and holiday pay.

A formal letter from this office will be despatched tomorrow enclosing form RP1 and details of how to make a claim in respect of your arrears of income and any other rights to which you may be entitled.

I am sorry that I cannot be more positive in my information and that I cannot assist you further.

Yours sincerely

S Cohen
