End-of-Year Message

“Firstly, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those we have worked closely with this year, including our customers, suppliers, employees and many others along the way. This year we have strived to improve every area of the business, to ensure we are able to deliver the quality of solution and machine we pride ourselves upon. During this period of positive change, there are of course some instances where I would need to thank you for your patience and understanding as we look to make such improvements.”

“Generally, 2011 gave us great cause for optimism as sales increased, our team expanded and our equipment was successfully delivered to customers in Europe, North America, South America, Africa and Asia. The global reach of our machinery is a source of great pride for us and offers a rare ‘good news story’ for British engineering. I am pleased to see that the opportunities for next year look better still.”

“Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to formally announce our exciting news as we move to a new production facility from March 2012. The new factory is more than twice the size of our current location and will enable us to better serve our customers in offering the highest quality of product and service. The new facility will also incorporate a dedicated trial area, for testing your materials on our machines. Once we are up and running, I would be pleased to welcome your visit to our new facility.”

“On behalf of everyone at Hanningfield, I would like to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We  look forward to working with you in 2012.”

Kind regards,

Colin Ellis
Managing Director

Charitable Donation

This year we have chosen to say ‘Merry Christmas’ using this e-mail. Instead of sending out printed cards, we have donated the money to a local charity, St Luke’s Hospice. We feel it is important to support local charities and further to help those which rely upon donations from others.

St Luke’s provide exceptional care to people who wish to see out the rest of their lives in a comfortable and caring environment. The services which are provided by St Luke’s cost them in excess of £3 million per year and we hope to develop our support further in the coming years to help St Luke’s with this.

We all wish you a Merry Christmas at Hanningfield and hope you support our efforts in helping local charities.
