2015

During 2015, Helipebs Controls and the Employee Forum decided to raise funds for the locally based charity the ‘National Star College’ (www.natstar.ac.uk) which culminated in a grand Christmas draw for numerous prizes, many of which had been donated by our suppliers and local companies.

To continue building on existing relationships and making new friends in China a second visit was made by Helipebs representative Mark Confaloni and Qing Lin (Join in China), this time based around the Jiangsu, Wuxi and Shanghai Provinces.

There was plenty to smile about at the Helipebs Group recent AGM which announced record sales and profits for the year ending 31^st March 2014. Group Chairman, Ross Cole, was pleased to announce sales of £5.234 million, up 26% on the previous year. Profits also exceeded targets. In his report he says “Helipebs Controls has had an exceedingly busy year in all areas of the business.

Following on from a two week period of work experience in 2014, Poppy Woodward has now joined Helipebs Controls as a fully-fledged apprentice; she will be on an advanced mechanical apprenticeship.The first 10 months of her training are taking place at Gloucester Engineering Training (GET) and for the final 3 years she will be on site at Helipebs Controls and continually assessed by GET.
