NEWS UPDATE
- The year of technical advancement has been and arrived;
Facebook, Twitter, iPhone, they are all here to stay and
yes we are part of all of them.
You
can become a fan of us on Facebook if you like or you can
find us on Twitter if that takes your fancy.
Business
wise, we had a steady year in 2009. Nothing to set the world
on fire but as most companies worldwide had financial troubles,
Squire Forestry did OK thank you. We expanded into some
new areas including the 5 bar gate business with our sister
company - The Bawden Gate Company. We seem to have made
people sit up and take note of our hand made gates. At the
Autumn Anglo Info show in Pontivy, in general people didn't
think our gates were hand made until we showed them six
different styles, all with hand made features. We made a
huge impression and we look forward to opening new avenues
with our gates in 2010!
Tree
wise, Squire Forestry hope to contunue our robust growth.
We are looking at acquisition to expand, and fully expect
one or two other comapnies to fall by the way side this
year. It is a sad fact of business that this will happen
and I wish the individuals well but you have to live here
and experience all facets of local life to build relationships
with clients. You can't expect this to happen from being
UK based or without putting your roots down here.
I
will make the effort to update this site intro more than
last year and if demand exists I will update direct with
Facebook to kepp people in touch with what is going on with
Squire Forestry. Until then, have a good 2010 and if we
can help, then please do get in touch;
See you soon",- John Squire
