STAFF CELEBRATE SUCCESSES WITH SPIKEY!
» » INDUSTRY-LEADING SYSTEMS
supplier VEKA has been celebrating the
achievements of its Burnley-based workforce
once again, with the help of another well-
known Lancashire talent.
VEKA was delighted to be joined by Dave
Spikey (of Phoenix Nights fame) for the
company’s second annual ‘Pride of VEKA’
event.
This year’s awards ceremony was held at
a prestigious local hotel, Mitton Hall, and
attended by VEKA Directors, winners from a
variety of departments across the business and
their partners.
VEKA is well known for singing the praises
of its employees and supporting them in
developing further skills at every level. Head
of HR Gabriela Hammond explains: “We
are exceptionally proud of our team here at
VEKA. These awards celebrate those who go
‘above and beyond’ for the business.”
Individuals might be recognised for
anything, from taking on further training, to
outstanding leadership or volunteering within
the community.
Last year’s awards were presented by sports
broadcaster and former professional footballer
Chris Kamara, which led to much speculation
about this year’s mystery guest. Comedian
Dave Spikey was welcomed with rapturous
applause before presenting the awards and
entertaining the audience with a host of
hilarious stories throughout the night.

Improved efficiency
Since launching its own brand range of machinery
earlier this year, all designed to make targeted aspects
of joinery production quicker, easier and more efficient,
Mighton Products has welcomed a growing number of
positive reviews, with the latest coming from Glasgow
based sash window specialists Conservation Windows.
» » EXPERTS IN THE RESTORATION
and installation of sash windows in period
properties, the family run firm recently
purchased the Mighton Scribe-It™ machine,
one of the most popular products in the range,
and was quick to praise its precision and
speed.
“We have regularly been buying sash
window components, such as sash cords, seals
and ironmongery, from Mighton for the last
decade,” said Director Archie MacLean, “. We
took full advantage of the Mighton Mobile
Demonstration Vehicle service and booked a
visit with Dale Cook, giving us a chance to ‘try
‘quick to praise its
precision and speed’
before you buy’ and ask him any questions we
had before going ahead with the purchase.”
He continued: “We have had the machine
in our workshop for around a month now and
there has been a notable impact on our output
in terms of both speed and quality of finish.”
