Servosteel's community support continued
01-11-07
Last month saw the County Air Ambulance land at Servosteel
site in Dudley on another mission to save lives.
Servosteel is committed
to serving the community and was pleased to be of
assistance to the County Air
Ambulance by allowing them to land near our weighbridge
which is adjacent to the Russells Hall Hospital site
(see picture).
With this in mind the second of the Servosteel Charity
Quiz nights took place at Stourbridge F.C. raising £150
for the
County Air Ambulance fund.
The night was a another
great success with Servosteel's customers, suppliers,
friends and staff alike competiting
for the
title of quiz kings. It was a fantastic evening
with a team (of eggheads) from Causeway United F.C.
just pipping the reigning
champions
John Taintons.
Once again Tim Jones of Servosteel would like to thank
everyone who attended this special evening, raising
money for a very worthwhile charity.

Ascot Facility to relocate to Dudley
06-09-07
With the lease on our Wolverhampton premises (Ascot
Processing) due to expire in the next few months we
have decided to
move
production from the Wolverhampton site to the Servosteel
facility at Pensnett Road, Dudley by the end of September
2007. Not only will all the key contacts remain the
same, but our offering will improve as we will be able
to offer customers an improved delivery, processing
and collection service. This is made possible because
our Dudley facility is open 24 hours Monday to Friday
and until 6.00am on Saturdays.
Giving
Up Together
10-07-07
Sunday July 1st 2007 a date every smoker will remember.
Smoking in virtually all workplaces and substantially
enclosed public areas in England has become smokefree
by law.
Here at Servosteel in conjunction
with the NHS and The Black Country Tobacco Control
Alliance (BCTCA)
we are
trying to help our employees who have taken the
decision to give up smoking.
Servosteel have taken the
initiative and have introduced meetings with local
NHS Smokefree team member
Mr Neil Tonks, who will co-ordinate along with
Servosteel's
Wayne Kettley introducing the Together programme.
The Together programme is
a new support programme designed to help you stop smoking,
compiled
using medical research
as well as insights from ex smokers.
This is the first ever programme of its kind
in the UK and it's free.
We wish all employees the best of luck in kicking
the habit and going smokefree.

Servosteel Assists Action Heart
Dated 25-02-07
This year's Road Race run for Action Heart has been
another great success for the charity. Servosteel support
this event by providing parking for runners. Race Organiser
Paul Davies-Hale said, "... an event of this nature
and reputation would not be the success it has become
without the support of people like yourselves and I
would like to say how much your assistance is appreciated."
This year's race was another success story with entries
at the limit of 1000 a week before the race was to
start.
All the runners and spectators appeared to enjoy the
day, and all competitors completed the course safely.
