To kick-start our new initiative of Meet Our Members, we caught up with Andrew Barraclough, the Sales and Marketing Director at Abbey Industrial Solutions to talk all things about the company and how they are leading the market for being independent providers of quality power tool systems and engineering innovations.

By working with multiple intelligent tooling specialists such as Cleco and Sturtevant Richmont, Abbey provides industry 4.0 ready bespoke solutions to improve the quality and efficiency in the manufacturing industry.

Having over 35 years of navigating the industry, Abbey’s experience has meant that they hold exclusive trading relationships with a number of different tool-leading manufacturers.

DSM Productions new studio!

DSM Productions Limited has grown over the last couple of years but when COVID hit the diary emptied within 48hrs.

The ban on large gatherings, conferences, music and events of any size brought the company to a stand still.

Dan Smith Founder of DSM Productions commented:

“Since COVID hit events have been either cancelled or postponed and I started to watch what I had built start crumbling around me.”

“After a few months of being crippled by the pandemic and watching the bank empty (despite some government support) It became apparent, in September, that live events may not be returning any time soon and that virtual may well be the way forward.”

“Initially we decided to invest in equipment to make the transition to a virtual platform but quickly realised I had something that I don’t think Wakefield has (I could be wrong on this) – space to create a studio dedicated to broadcast, streaming and filming.
With this we decided to convert unused office/storage space, at our warehouse & offices in Wakefield, into a purpose built studio space.”

The studio space will be open as of the 2nd December and I’m hoping to generate a large interest in the space.

From The Gutter To The Stars

Studio Manger Andrew Easton and Mick Hinchcliffe from Wakefield based Printforms Ltd are the first to see the new publication which the company has produced – “From The Gutter To The Stars “ by Simon Medhurst.

The book is a detailed memoir documenting the rise of Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club from the turn of the Millenium to the end of May 2019.

Written by a true football fan for other fans, it charts an emotional rollercoaster – the passion, the wins, the frustrations and a host of amusing anecdotes!

It also provides an insight into the way that Simon’s mum, his wife Jane and his sister Sasha fought their own personal battles against cancer during this time. Three very brave and special ladies.

Simon also touches on the course of his life during this testing period and describes it as : “A football fans guide to help get through life”
Managing Director Shaun Stanley who liaised with Simon to produce the book also makes a few guest appearances as a Barnsley fan !
All proceeds from the book are going to the MacMillan charity and will be on sale on Amazon. #macmillancancersupport
