Telephon*: GREenwich 1040 25 A P R IL , 1947 SIXPENCE In this Garage as in any other, small metal pressings play an important part in assisting the smooth running and functioning of not only the cars themselves, but the business too. The Petrol Pump can emit at a moment’s notice just the quantity of petrol required, no more, no less, thanks to the intricate working of its mechanism in which stampings and pressings are important items. Battery Chargers hold many secrets behind that mysterious black switchboard, the air pump owes a great part of its efficiency to metal pressings, and the automobiles themselves, whether lorry, light- car or limousine, carry innumerable odd shapes in metal brackets and gadgets without which the vehicle as a whole would be far from complete. The automobile Industry is but one of a hundred others to which the products of W right, Bindley & Gcll, Ltd., make an important contribution. Although old customers are naturally having preference at a time like this, W.B.G. are always pleased to make new friends. t h e electrician 25 APRIL, 1947 1041 WE REGRET OUR INABILITY TO KEEP OUR FRIENDS FULLY SUPPLIED WITH <§> SWITCH AND DISTRIBUTION GEAR WE HOPE TO MORE THAN SATISFY EXISTING DEMANDS WHEN THE CERAMIC POSITION IMPROVES IN THE MEANTIME PLEASE REMEMBER THAT WE ARE DOING OUR BEST UNDER DIFFICULT CONDITIONS BILL SWITCHGEAR LTD MANCHESTER ASTON LANE, PERRY BARR LO N DON .

During the year our business aim was to build on last years successful integration with IBERDROLA, where ScottishPower was one of the main drivers and principle engines of growth. In line with IBERDROLAs multi local approach, ScottishPower continues to provide details on its social and environmental performance against the 12 impact areas identified back in 2005, while also reporting our enhanced CSR credentials globally as part of the wider IBERDROLA group. Being a good corporate citizen is even more important in these times of economic uncertainty. Investment, whether in our assets, our existing and future workforce, our local communities, or the environment at large is key to helping the UK and global economies out of the current recession. IBERDROLA and ScottishPower have invested £1.8 billion in the UK in the last two years and £1.1 billion in 2008 alone. We have announced plans to spend £39 million over the next three years to protect our most vulnerable customers and we contributed a further £1 million to the ScottishPower Energy People Trust, an independent charity set up to help end fuel poverty in Britain.
