Following on from the success of last year, Helipebs Controls decided to enter two teams to play in The Milestone School Golf Day which took place on Sunday 24th May at the Rodway Golf Club. The Milestone School is a community Special School in Gloucester that provides for approximately 290 children with a wide range of special educational needs. The competition was again run as a Texas Scramble with a 128 players (32 teams) taking part and the rules required each player to take at least three tee shots during the 18 holes. There were prizes for 1st, 2nd & 3rd Place as well as the longest drive and nearest the pin. Helipebs was represented by Team 1 (Terry Williams, Andy Roberts, Geoff Davis & Chris Davis) who finished in 16th place, and Team 2 (Chris Nicks, James Denley, Gerald White & Steve Christie) who finished in 11th place. Chris Nicks was awarded a prize for being nearest to the pin on the 18th hole. This is the 10th year in which the event has been run and a total of just over £1,200 was raised on the day.

Helipebs Controls is pleased to announce the appointment of Phil Weager as their new QA Manager. Phil brings with him a wealth of experience in both engineering and quality sectors including ISO9001, 14001 and 18001.

Helipebs was pleased to be invited once again to participate in the latest Dragons Den event being hosted by Elmbridge Junior School.

To help raise money for school funds at the summer fayre, to be held in June, nineteen teams of one to three 10 and 11 year old, year 6 pupils, worked to come up with ideas on how to make as much money as possible. To qualify for a start-up loan to purchase what was required to get each money making scheme off the ground, they had to present to ‘the Dragons’ their ideas. Each idea had to include a Powerpoint presentation covering costs, projected sales and profit. Each team will also have to run their own stall at the summer fayre as well as pay back the loan, with interest.

Harry Anderton, Commercial Director, said “it was a great honour to be asked again having fulfilled the role as one of the Dragons the last time the school ran the event. Everyone who took part should be really proud of themselves for the time, effort and planning involved. I will definitely be going along on 19^th June to see for myself how the projects materialise from ideas to planning right through to the end result”.
