427 Marketing
427 is a specialist SEO and Digital Marketing agency based in Sussex providing a range of SEO services to businesses of all sizes across Sussex the rest of the UK and globally.
For many small businesses, and larger companies SEO is something that is often done in an ad hoc fashion. Often things are implemented and left, poor quality consultants do a bit then stop and internal team members try a few tactics here and there. This can be costly, ineffective and even damaging to a website. 427 is able to offer a clear, honest and creative solution for businesses who want to see more traffic and enquires from search engines. We do not hide behind jargon and the smoke and mirrors so often associated with SEO. We work with in house teams, agency partners and business owners to offer a clear and effective SEO service.
A Band of Brothers
abandofbrothers (ABOB) works with young men involved in the criminal justice system. We provide them with the support they need to make the transition to an adulthood free of crime, and filled with a sense of belonging, connection and purpose.
The young men we meet have often experienced or witnessed domestic violence. They may have been abused or else kept someone else’s abuse a secret. They may have lived in care or experienced neglect. They may have grown up where drug and alcohol abuse is commonplace and where positive adult role models are in short supply.
Our work transforms the lives of young men and their communities, whilst saving the state (and ultimately the taxpayer) £40,000 a year for each avoided incarceration. Instead, we create well-rounded men who contribute back to society with healthy aspirations and a renewed sense of wellbeing.

Baseline - RTS
Condition Based Monitoring (CBM) is a type of predictive maintenance (PdM) that uses sensors to measure the status of assets over time while in operation. CBM reduces unexpected production downtime, unplanned repair costs and lost production, whilst increasing production uptime. Common technologies we use for performing this task are Vibration Analysis, Thermography, Ultrasonic analysis, Oil analysis (Tribology) & Motor current Analysis. We are able to offer a number of complementary technologies such as Thermal imaging, Ultrasonic detection (both passive detection and active measurement) Helium Leak detection, Vibration Analysis & Motion Amplification for use within the Engineering & industrial sectors of industry. We aim to supply the equipment that best suits your requirements, train you how to use it, and support you going forward with both services and advice to ensure that you get the most out of your investment and to also ensure the operators are fully convalescent using the equipment to ensure that any unplanned downtime you might experience is kept to the absolute minimum, as well as looking to reduce the overall cost of the repairs and the energy usage for your plant & assets. Baseline-RTS Ltd was born from the closure of Alpine Components Ltd at the end of 2018. Across over a decade of employment with Alpine Components (2007—2018), Micky Jackson carried out in excess of over 500 onsite training appointments mainly covering Thermography & Ultrasonic detection. This led to a unique & multi-faceted approach when delivering the training courses to ensure the customer was able to the very best out of their equipment, and gain a quick understanding of how to operate it themselves. Along with the countless Equipment demonstrations and customer support visits, Seminars and trade shows all throughout the UK and Ireland during his 11yr employment with Alpine Components Ltd, from high end Blue chip companies all the way down to serving one man bands, he decided to set up Baseline-RTS Ltd to continue to be able to offer the product advice, training & support services to our long established customers, as well as any new potential customers. Being an ITC Level 3 Thermographer, and a level 2 Ultrasonic analyst he has both the experience and skill to ensure that your CBM programme gets off to a flying start, even with low end older equipment, we can help justify and to show a return on the initial investment for the positive decision to move towards Condition based monitoring and Predictive maintenance by your company.
