Now, he is helping others discover a love for dance by lending his support to local dance studio Freedom 2 Dance. Not only has Morley donated new glass for the frontage of the Castleford dance studio, along with child safe blinds, it is also sponsoring a new dance scholar- ship to help dancers with potential to take their ability to the next level with the opportunity to enter the competitive world of Ballroom & Latin Dance. The dance school has selected two dancers with natural talent to benefit from the 12-month schol- arship that will not only develop dance skills but also help them in confidence and self-esteem, as well as improving other vital inter- personal skills.

TuffX already has an iden- tical Bovone SLE machine at its state-of-the-art factory in Knowsley, Merseyside, which was installed in August last year. A 12-wheel straight line edger that is designed to produce flat and arris profile, Bovone has en- hanced the ELB HS – a ‘high speed’ machine that can process glass at 4 metres a minute – so that it can pro- duce greater volume whilst still retaining the highest possible quality of finish. TuffX operations direc- tor, John Tierney, was so impressed by the speed and consistent high qual- ity of the Bovone ELB HS that he contacted the Glass Machinery Company, who supplied and installed the first machine, and requested a second one in order to further improve the compa- ny’s product offering and customer service. www.tuffxglass.co.uk
