Safety Showers Experts Receives Queen's Award Submitted By: Clickintopr.Com Friday, 4 August 2006 Safety Showers Experts Receives Queen's Award Submitted by: CLICKintoPR.com Friday, 4 August 2006 During a ceremony at the company’s Stockport factory, Hughes Safety Showers (http://www.hughes-safety-showers.co.uk) has received the Queen’s Award for Enterprise International Trade (http://www.hughes-safety-showers.co.uk/Queens_Award.asp) from the Lord Lieutenant of Greater Manchester, Colonel Sir John Timmins. The company supplies emergency safety showers, eyebaths and decontamination equipment. Managing Director Tony Hughes expressed his personal pride in winning such a prestigious award but emphasized that it had been a team effort. From 2003 to 2005, export sales increased by almost 150%. The growth in business came from countries where Hughes is already well established and from new markets targeted by the recently expanded sales team. The appointment of an export manager, technical manager and the company’s first marketing manager has introduced new skills and experience. The company’s Germany subsidiary, Hughes Notduschen GmbH (http://www.hughes-notduschen.de), has played a pivotal role in expanding European business. Opening offices in North America and the Middle East (http://www.hughes-safety-showers.co.uk/world_distributors/worldHome.php) earlier this year has further strengthened the company’s position internationally. ‘The choice of products has played a key role in our success’, says Tony Hughes. ‘We’ve developed a particularly wide range and created showers and eyebaths (http://www.hughes-safety-showers.co.uk/productsHome.asp) specifically for overseas customers. They can be dispatched as sub-assemblies to minimize shipping costs and then easily built on site. The export range also takes account of local conditions and includes emergency showers and eyebaths capable of operating in extreme climatic conditions – from the arctic to the desert.’ In addition to emergency safety showers and eyebath/facewash equipment, Hughes also supplies a wide range of decontamination systems to the military, fire service, ambulance and civil defence organisations. The company has pioneered the development of compact, lightweight portable showers for decontaminating emergency services personnel and large transportable systems for the mass decontamination of the general public. A variant of the company’s CUPOLAdecon 2 is now the British Fire Service standard decontamination unit for use in case of chemical spillages or chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear incidents. ‘Winning the Queen’s Award is a great achievement,’ says Tony Hughes. ‘We now look forward to building on this success and taking the company to even greater heights.’ More Information: John Jones tel: 0161 761 3814 mobile 07836 713470 e-mail: [email protected] Page 1 Advertising Enquiries: Jo England Arber tel: 0161 477 4447 email: [email protected] Note to Editors: Hughes Safety Showers is Europe’s largest manufacturer of emergency safety showers and eyebath/facewash units. They provide vital first aid in the event of an accident and are used to wash off chemical splashes and other contaminants that could otherwise cause serious injury. The company offers the widest range of products from any manufacturer including unheated and heated units for indoor and outdoor use as well as tank showers that will continue to operate if the mains water supply is disrupted. Specialist showers have also been developed to meet the specific needs of industries such as pharmaceutical manufacturing. Decontamination units have evolved out of specialist showers developed for the fire service. They range from small showers for decontaminating emergency service personnel and their equipment to large units for mass decontamination of the general public.

    HITCHMOUGH’S BLACK COUNTRY PUBS DUDLEY (Inc. Harts Hill, Kates Hill, Priory, Woodside) 3rd. Edition - © 2014 Tony Hitchmough. All Rights Reserved www.longpull.co.uk INTRODUCTION Well over 40 years ago, I began to notice that the English public house was more than just a building in which people drank. The customers talked and played, held trips and meetings, the licensees had their own stories, and the buildings had experienced many changes. These thoughts spurred me on to find out more. Obviously I had to restrict my field; Black Country pubs became my theme, because that is where I lived and worked. Many of the pubs I remembered from the late 1960’s, when I was legally allowed to drink in them, had disappeared or were in the process of doing so. My plan was to collect any information I could from any sources available. Around that time the Black Country Bugle first appeared; I have never missed an issue, and have found the contents and letters invaluable. I then started to visit the archives of the Black Country boroughs. Directories were another invaluable source for licensees’ names, enabling me to build up lists. The censuses, church registers and licensing minutes for some areas, also were consulted. Newspaper articles provided many items of human interest (eg. inquests, crimes, civic matters, industrial relations), which would be of value not only to a pub historian, but to local and social historians and genealogists alike. With the advances in technology in mind, I decided the opportunity of releasing my entire archive digitally, rather than mere selections as magazine articles or as a book, was too good to miss.

  • Royal Visits to Wigan, 1873-2005
    Wigan Archives & Local Studies Royal Visits to Wigan, 1873-2005 The following index provides an account of the visits made to the Wigan area by members of the Royal Family, 1873- 2005. The accompanying spreadsheet gives further detailed information on dates and sources, together with details of press reports of the visits made. This index was gratefully produced by Vic Rawlinson, Wigan Local Studies volunteer, from original sources held by Wigan Archives and Local Studies. Wednesday 4th June 1873 The Prince and Princess of Wales In January 1873 enquiries were made regarding the possibility of a royal visit to Wigan for the occasion of the official opening of the new Wigan Infirmary. Advice was received that unfortunately Her Majesty Queen Victoria would not be able to attend as had been hoped, but this was promptly followed by confirmation that the Prince of Wales had accepted the invitation. The arrangements were that the Prince and the Princess would be staying at Haigh Hall as the guests of the Earl & Countess of Crawford and Balcarres, whilst they were in the locality, they would be combining the visit to Wigan with the opening of a new Town Hall in Bolton and also to the unveiling of a statue in Southport dedicated to a Dr. Chadwick who had been a benefactor to that town. The Royal couple arrived at North Western Station by rail on Tuesday 3rd. June and proceeded to Haigh Hall where a formal reception was held. The following day the official party made their way to the Infirmary, leaving Haigh plantations via the Whelly gates.

  • Annual Report 2020 Welcome from Our County Chair
    Annual Report 2020 Welcome from our County Chair I am pleased to present to you the Annual Review and Report for Greater Manchester West Scout County from 1st April 2019 to 31st March 2020. Over this period there has been a huge amount of fun, hard work, dedication and time given. It is always a joy to read the review of activities and reflect on all we have done. The achievements of the young people are to be commended and celebrated. Congratulations to all who achieved the top award in their section, but also well done to all those who experienced their first night away from home, gained their first activity badge or pushed themselves and grew a little in a new area. Well done to all those young people for doing something extra and new. I would like to thank the County Executive for their help to support the County Commissioner and his extended County Leadership team in their work across our County and beyond. Even to the far reaches of the United States of America and the World Scout Jamboree. Other international, national and local adventures were backed enabling our County to provide an exciting and wide programme for our members. To help and support our sectional leaders in providing and monitoring a balance programme, facilitating the progression of young people through the award schemes, the County Executive were delighted to fund the Online Scout Manager (OSM) for all training sections within our County. A fantastic resource. Reserves put aside for the development of our new campsite at Hollinwood have started to be drawn upon.
