Jubilee June Newsletter

Welcome to our Jubbly June Newsletter, we hope you have enjoyed the Jubilee Celebrations.

Berck Limited was pleased to hear of the return of 6 a side football.  Following last year’s performance and results we decided to add a competitive ‘edge’ to our ageing willing squad.  This yielded 3 on the trot consecutive wins including one against the hosts Daines Accountancy.

Unfortunately you can’t make a cake without breaking a few eggs and although no eggs were damaged a break did occur one of the Company Directors ankles – very ouch indeed!

Well done to all that attended and a special thanks to our small but very enthusiastic crowd.

New Recruit

Berck Limited would like to Welcome back Neil Tolley.  Neil is a highly skilled Quality Technician and we have been lucky enough to secure his skills to serve well in the Quality Control Department.  We wish Neil all the very best of luck and we look forward to working alongside of him.

 

 

 

Dave Killarney

A Huge ‘Congratulations’ to Dave after completing 25 years of service at Berck Limited.  Dave is a very valuable member of the team having honed his skills with complicated Multi-slide presses.  He is also a huge ‘Blue Nose’ and shares his love of Birmingham City Football Club with 2 other of our employees.  He has recently taken up fishing as a hobby and is proud to have landed 10lb Carp!  Wonder how successful the Blues will be in finding a Win next Season?

St Patrick’s Day is near so here are some things you didn’t know:

The actual colour of St. Patrick is blue. Green became associated with St. Patrick's Day during the 19th century. Green, in Irish legends, was worn by fairies and immortals, and also by people to encourage their crops to grow.

The Irish flag is green, white and orange. The green symbolizes the people of the south, and orange, the people of the north. White represents the peace that brings them together as a nation.

Legend says that each leaf of clover means something: the first is for hope, the second for faith, the third for love and the fourth for luck.

‘Happy St Patrick’s Day’ to all our Irish Customers and Suppliers !

Valentine Day Facts!   Did you know –

In the Middle Ages, young men and women drew names from a bowl to see who would be their Valentine. They would wear this name pinned onto their sleeves for one week for everyone to see. This was the origin of the expression "to wear your heart on your sleeve."

Physicians of the 1800's commonly advised their patients to eat chocolate to calm their pining for lost love.

Girls of medieval times ate bizarre foods on St. Valentine's Day to make them dream of their future spouse.

January was a very busy month and February and beyond seen to be heading the same way, again we have been fortunate enough to have been awarded several new projects from new and existing customers.  Schedules and forecasts remain steady although some increases would be very welcome.  We can assure you that we are monitoring the situation carefully and making sure we keep close contact with our customers.  Thank you for your terrific support it is very much appreciated.
