Our Central Sales Representative, Simon Heath, attended the Midlands Area National Association of Funeral Directors meeting last night at The Greswolde Arms Hotel.

With just over 20 people in attendance, it was a well-supported and informative evening. There were lively discussions around mental health in the workplace and the NAFD Code of Practice, both incredibly important topics for our profession.

We always value opportunities like these to stay connected with colleagues across the industry and keep up to date with the conversations that matter most.

Thank you to everyone involved in organising another excellent event.

A great evening for Nigel Green-Smith representing JC Atkinson at the recent Southern District event held at Langley Park Golf Club.

Nigel joined fellow funeral professionals for an engaging evening focused on the future of the profession, training, standards, and community support. Discussions included investment in education, updates from the
National Association of Funeral Directors, maintaining best practice, and supporting the Royal Alexandra and Albert Foundation Bursary Programme.

It was great to see so many professionals coming together to share knowledge, strengthen relationships, and support meaningful causes. We value opportunities like these to stay connected and continue supporting funeral directors nationwide.

We were delighted to welcome Jake and Sam Gaunt from F.P Gaunt & Sons Ltd to JC Atkinson yesterday.

As a family-run business established in 1900 and now in its 6th generation, it was a pleasure to host them for a tour of our Parsons, Sedling and Herrington sites.

Their visit gave them the chance to meet members of our team, see the scale of our operations, and gain an insight into the craftsmanship, care and dedication that goes into everything we do.

We also enjoyed sharing some of our exciting future plans and strengthening a valued partnership that we are proud to have rebuilt.

Thank you again to Jake and Sam for visiting us and for your lovely feedback following the day. We look forward to continuing to work together in the future. đź‘Ź

Celebrating people is at the heart of everything we do🙌🙌

Recently, our Oasis colleagues came together to celebrate International Women’s Day, recognising the incredible women whose dedication, talent and hard work helps drive the business forward every day. The event was proudly organised, managed and led by female leaders across the team, creating an inspiring celebration of achievement, equality and opportunity.

The day included motivational speeches from senior leaders, personal success stories from the production floor, and reflections on the important role women play both in the workplace and at home. Recognition gifts were also presented to female employees as a token of appreciation for their valued contributions.

The celebration created a positive and uplifting atmosphere, while reinforcing our commitment to supporting women’s growth, championing inclusion, and ensuring every individual feels valued for the difference they make.

We are proud of the strong, talented women across Oasis and the wider J.C. Atkinson family who continue to shape our success.
