Whilst our team are busy finalising the details of the new site, we have agreed we will use it to manufacture deep drawn products and micro springs for the automotive and medical markets. When asked to comment on the opening of the new site, our Managing Director, Ian Beardsmore commented, "The Czech Republic is an essential part of our growth plans as we look to increase our sales and customer base in Europe. Once we have finalised the site we will be working tirelessly to reduce lead times for our customers through world class production planning, recruitment and bespoke machinery".

Spotlight On - John Jenkinson John Jenkinson has recently joined Advanex as Sales and Commercial Manager. With a strong background in mechanical engineering and project management, John has gained a wealth of experience in previous roles with Loctite and ElringKlinger. In joining the team at Advanex, John is responsible for driving sales across Europe and managing the sales team. With our ambitious growth plans for the years ahead this will be a very exciting role as we develop new products and markets! Outside of work John enjoys spending time with his wife and 4 children. John's pretty handy around the house to – he is currently renovating their property in Charente, France. As you can see from the pictures there's plenty to do but we're sure will be worth it once complete! Wishing John all the best in his new role... Fundraising - Jayne Booth & Race For Life We've had a great couple of months with fundraising activity! Yet again the teams at both sites have been busy raising money for good causes. Ladies from both sites completed the Pretty Mudder Race For Life at Clumber Park to raise money for Cancer Research. What a great way to raise money for such a worthwhile cause! Senior Setter & Team Leader, Jayne Booth has also been raising money for Cancer Research UK by completing the Nottingham Relay For Life. The Relay For Life is the biggest fundraising event for Cancer Research worldwide with up to 20 countries hosting events. Jayne and her other team members took turns completing laps of a track during a 24 period. Jayne and her dwarves looked great – well done!           Advanex Europe Ltd.
