One of our dear friends and colleague has recently been diagnosed with Myelofibrosis so this quarter, SB Joinery wanted to display our support, love and passion by raising awareness and funds to help the amazing work by Blood Cancer UK with a summer football league.

Thanks to everyone’s generosity, we have raised an amazing £700!

We held a small awards ceremony with Mary presenting her ‘Player of the tournament’ and ‘Golden Boot’ award : “I just want to thank all the staff and management at SB Joinery for all their support and fundraising efforts over the past few months. They have not only made a huge effort in raising the much needed funds for Blood Cancer UK research, ironically, they have made the fundraising process a ‘fun’ one too!”

Our Pre Contracts Director, Kieran and People HR, Jenna were invited to talk to this years new carpentry apprentices about life at SB Joinery and career opportunities and development within our industry. We look forward to seeing some of them in the future!

This week we have had Luke, Harry & Harvey from the John Hanson Community School in Andover working alongside our experienced joiners. They have spent each day in a different part of the workshop to get insight on the whole process whilst getting valuable on-the-job training! We also had Leon from Buckler's Mead Academy in our Yeovil workshop learning all there is to know about cabinetry.

It's a busy week here in our Stockbridge factory! As well as the installation of our new solar panels, we have also taken delivery of our new Salvador Superpush 200!This fully automatic programmable crosscut saw features powerful optimisation software and defecting facility as standard. Compared to traditional crosscutting methods, this will help to increase the efficiency and productivity in our mill.
