We had a wonderful afternoon at the Lincolnshire Co-op Funeral Conference. A great chance to reflect on the past year, talk about what’s working well, and celebrate the fantastic work this team does every day.

A big thanks to our Central Sales Rep, Simon Heath, who shared helpful updates on what we are offering and what exciting new products are on the way.

Always a pleasure spending time with the team — looking forward to next year's events already! ✨

Since we started recycling cardboard at JC Atkinson, we’ve saved a whopping 78.8 tonnes from going to waste.
But what does 78.8 tonnes actually look like? 🤔

Well…
👉 It’s almost 3 TIMES the weight of all the copper used on the Statue of Liberty! 🗽
(Yes — the famous green lady’s copper cladding weighs 28.1 tonnes!)

So the next time you see one of our cardboard skips being taken away, just remember:
We’re basically recycling Lady Liberty… three times over. 😅

Here’s to greener choices and lighter landfills. 💚🌍

Our Northern rep, Scott, made a special diary delivery today to one of our most northern customers — based just north of Inverness.

A brilliant opportunity to catch up, strengthen relationships, and make sure our support reaches every corner of the country.

Scott will be in Inverness until Wednesday if anyone wants to say hello! 👋
