Last November saw another landmark in our company's progress when we sold our 26 acre depot at Thornbridge. Bought in 1990 this huge site has served us well over the years and has played a vital role in allowing the many various aspects of our business to grow. Our acquisition of several extra acres adjacent to our Earls Road Headquarters in 1998 however, changed our long term outlook and some time ago we decided to slowly transfer all functions and focus all activities on our central HQ. Our premises and facilities development plan continues on schedule with the construction of a new warehouse (pictured left), due for completion in the early spring.
Golfers to The Fore
The annual John Mitchell Golf Trophy was held at Gleneagles' Kings Course on Tuesday 16th. September 2003. Thankfully, the event was blessed with fine weather, as the 32 competitors set out on the hallowed fairways of one of Scotland's most spectacular and challenging golf tests. The closely fought competition was eventually won by Alex Reid of Scottish Courage, with Alex Totten of Falkirk Football Club, Second and Andy Fulton of GRC third. Champion Alex is pictured being presented with the trophy by staff members Lynne Sharpe, Tracey White and Sarah Gibb. This truly enjoyable day was rounded off with dinner in the Dormy House and entertainment from renowned after dinner speaker, Willie Allan.
