Wow how did we get here, only one more working week before Christmas break?!
Last night we enjoyed our first Christmas Party in a while and it was a pleasure to enjoy time together outside of business. Our team feels more unified and happy than ever so a celebratory evening was definitely in order and well deserved after another incredibly busy year at Weaving Machinery.
This year has seen us build more drills than ever before, whilst negotiating the Covid pandemic - supply shortage, quarantine, self isolation - we saw it all and that’s before we even mention Brexit!
But we did it and that’s a true credit to our team who never stopped pushing forwards. Over the year there has been some changes and new faces including Steve Draper who joined us a Purchasing Manager and Simon Cox as Production Supervisor. Both have serious tasks on their hands moving into 2022 but we believe they are right men for the job.
In the new year we are also expecting some more new faces as we bring on board a new Parts/Warehouse Manager and for the first time we will have a Service Technician dedicated to the East Anglia region. Two exciting new arrivals in our growing team.
As well as personnel changes, the site is transforming once again, the old paint shop is gone and in its place, two new bake ovens and a shot-blaster will soon appear. We are replacing and extending the roof of workshop 1 to allow us to instal more overhead cranes to improve our production flow.
2022 will begin in earnest with the team presenting our biggest exhibition yet of drills, cultivators, flail mowers and more at the LAMMA Show in Birmingham. So with shows, building works on site and lots of drills already sold and booked on to the production schedule, 2022 is already shaping up to be another action packed year.
So next week we just need to get through stocktake, then it’ll be time for a well earned rest, and we’ll look forward to seeing customers ans suppliers, new and old in the New Year! 🎉
