The marketing team is working on updating the spec sheets so they contain the latest information, as we continually improve all our balers and compactors.

We are sure they will become an invaluable and informative touchpoint for prospective partners.

Our Marketing Assistant Kevin and his fiance Roberta completed the Pretty Muddy Race for Life in Southampton, raising some much-needed cash for Cancer Research. Unfortunately, a disease both are familiar with.

Our team's 3D artist has recently upgraded his computer to support the latest version of Solidworks. Together with Steve, they are currently updating various baler and compactor designs while also working on bespoke systems that have been requested. One of their current projects involves designing a special bin lift for a unique style of bin. We are sure they will become an invaluable and informative touchpoint for prospective partners.

July saw the hottest day on record for the planet with an average world-wide temperature of 17.01 Celcius, beating the previous record of 16.92 in 2016. Numerous countries have experienced severe heat waves that have resulted in numerous fatalities and wildfires. We are glad we are doing our part to reduce our and our partners' impact on the environment.

Our new van for our engineer Ashley
  • One of the vans is becoming too unreliable after 200,000 miles on it. So we bought a new long-wheelbase Ford Transit Custom. Our engineer Ashley will get this new van once all our branding covers it.
  • As we mentioned last month we had some system malfunctions that affected our ability to work, so we have decided to upgrade several systems including our phones and internet to improve our resilience and reliability. If we experience any interruptions we will let everyone know through our social media.
