Environment Awards - in inspiring company
Last night we attended the Yorkshire Post Environment Awards in Leeds, hosted by Hilary Benn and Julia Bradbury. We were shortlisted for the Best Environmental Business Award - along with the recycling services firm Taylors Environmental, and the food company Bettys and Taylors of Harrogate. It was described as the most hotly contested category and we were delighted to be nominated.

Lean and Green
Jamie Swan, Production Manager
Last week we showed 8 people from local manufacturing companies around our factory. Jamie Swan, our Production Manager, took them through our four year journey implementing Lean Manufacturing techniques. He explained how we use the 5s system, Cell Manufacturing, Kanban Production, Waste Reduction and Visual Management techniques to improve manufacturing efficiency.
Complimenting this perfectly is our work maintaining our ISO14001 accreditation (Environmental Management) Waste reduction and cost reduction seem to go hand in hand.
Following the tour and presentation, Paul Burns, Compliance Manager from Jenx Ltd commented, ‘The factory was a good example of a lean environment’.

Charity fun raises £400
Bike to Work Day
Duraweld’s 2009 ‘charity of the year’ was the Yorkshire Air Ambulance – an independent charity which provides a life saving rapid response emergency service to five million people across Yorkshire.
YAA flies seven days a week, 365 days a year, covering a vast landscape that not only includes major cities and motorways, but also rural and isolated locations.
They’ve been busy raising money for them since the summer, organising a special ‘Bring and Buy’ sale and a hugely popular ‘Bike to Work Day’.
During 2009 Duraweld raised over £400 for the charity. For further information or to make a donation visit: www.yorkshireairambulance.org.uk

“The best job I’ve ever had!”
Lee Embleton
Lee joined the Duraweld team five years ago and is in charge of the smooth running of our 5,000 sq. ft. warehouse.
Every day he takes in deliveries of materials, fittings and mechanisms, logs everything onto the internal stock system and then organises where to store items so that everyone knows exactly where to obtain items when they are needed.
Originally working in production, Lee moved to his new role in the warehouse and takes great pride in ensuring it runs like clockwork and feeds the factory with maximum efficiency.
Lee said: “This is the best job I’ve ever had – no two days are the same and there is a great sense of camaraderie amongst the Team which makes being at work both enjoyable and satisfying. It’s great to be in a company which is always looking to improve and encourages ideas and change – and Duraweld certainly does that!”
