I am a firestarter

Today was a bit special, each year after annual leave we have to relight the kilns a day early to get them up to the right temperature for Monday. Normally, Shaun our production manager would carry out this process with me. When I showed up this morning there were several cars parked outside the building and I was curious to what was going on?

Chris our master toolmaker, Jon head of our CNC department and Shaun where all present. What are you all doing here I asked, the explanation was simple after the whole manufacturing industry has found that trading conditions are challenging they all three came up with the same answer: ”Happy to be here”.

The kilns where lighted and with a coffee the world was set to right in a record five minutes flat. We are back to work tomorrow following the Christmas shutdown and either Sharon or Kirtsy will answer any queries you might have on telephone: ++44 (0)1983528697 or e-mail: info@ceramic-substrates.co.uk
